Yes, the problem may well have been fixed in a later bridge version. Good idea to try that first.

Although his plugins are a few years old, we at INSYDIUM have been fortunate enough to receive the code from Dan’s family & friends. You can now use the full set of CD Tools in Cinema 4D R14 - R20 (R20 requires the INSYDIUM Bridge which is a free download from our website). You can download the tools free from our website.

Hi all, I have been working in a Cloth simulation with Xparticles, client wanted to have a cloth floating in the space with some turbulence, inside an animation of 1000 frames. The problem was that after 200-300 frames the turbulence deformation was too heavy, the current shape was broken and very different from the initial state. So I started to think how to constraint a cloth with their initial state, in order to avoid extreme deformation: - I duplicate the object at the current initial state of the cloth (current state to object and delete all tags). - Then I create a XpCover - All vertex (ordered) - Target mode (Cover mode won't work, don't know why, particles won't be affected by turbulence once they arrive their target vertex position, even if you deactivate the xpcover modifier) - Now, you are all set, just play with the acuteness of turn to get more subtle effect or stronger. Low values of 1-4% works really well in big high quality cloth shapes. Attached a simple scene that shows the whole system. Hope someone find this useful, all the best! Cheers Javier V xpCloth_Constraint-to-initialState.c4d

What have you personally managed to achieve when trying?

Welcome to INSYDIUM ONLINE - your community for all things X-Particles and Cycles 4D.

If its a custom GUI the bridge wont know about it. so something may not work as expected.

as characteristics are done within the emitter and not the solver, I think you can do a simple spawning setup to change from granular to fluid. Use spawn modifier with field/falloff melt.c4d

Hi, This isn't something currently possible, you can map density and the surface but it would be a good addition so I will pass it on. As a solution in the meantime, you may want to play with a freeze modifier being triggered by a trigger mod with falloff (and one to turn it off too). Or even an xpExplode with a similar setup where it'll come along and break apart the Grains. Cheers, Jon
