Join Steve Nelle for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding the soft bodies into the simulation, part of Learning Reactor in 3ds Max (2011).
With the rigid body elements of our scene now in place, we can start…concentrating on the Soft Body objects on our simulation.…We'll be using a file name Soft Body Maze01 that was saved and carried forward…from the previous video.…Our project's deformable objects are both found at the top of our screen.…Let's zoom in a little closer, and we'll talk things over.…In the introductory chapter of our title, we established the fact that deformable…body objects, in order to be included in a Reactor dynamic simulation, work just a…little bit differently than rigid body objects do--…that difference being that, an order for an object to appear soft and pliable,…it must be placed in not just a different type of Reactor collection, but it…will also need a special type of modifier applied to it in order to be put into…that collection--that modifier being called a Soft Body Modifier.…
Let's begin by working on the green ball.…Now the Soft Body Modifier can be found and applied from a couple…different places in Max.…
