While it is possible to use multiple Shape Collision operators in a DynamicSet, it is highly recommended that you use as few operators of this type as possible. The memory requirements are huge and they increase with each addition of that operator type.

Operator Inputs

Operator Outputs

Particle – (Particle) outputs the current particle information for the colliding particle. Use this to modify specific particle properties.
Collided – (Bool) this output data stream will return true whenever a collision is happening. In all other non-colliding situations, the output will report false as the value.
Collision average Position– (Position) provides the current interpolated collision point.

Be aware that this point may be highly inaccurate as face to face collisions usually happen on areas and not at one individual point. Also, when objects come into contact and start sliding, the collision point will be generated at all times over and over again.

Collision averaged Normal – (Normal) outputs the interpolated normal of the calculated collision point.
Frozen – (Bool) outputs the frozen status of the particles as determined by and within the Physics Rollout Menu . When particles are considered “frozen” or “inactive”, this value will be true. When particles are actively moving, this value will return false.

Double Star = Secondary Initiator Outputs

Double Star Output (**) behaves like the Top-Level Initiator outputs, this outputs activate connected nodes for evaluation. It is important to understand that all connected nodes will be evaluated. However, as this is a secondary Initiator output, it can not be combined with the Top Level Output at the same time. The main rule still applies: Never use 2 Initiators on the same node or wiring.
Number of Collisions – (Integer) holds the total number of all collisions that happened for a particle. A collision may happen multiple times, especially with sliding objects (surface – surface). Note, this is a secondary Initiator output that can not be combined with the top level Initiator outputs at the same time. Either the Top-Level will be active or the low level department but not both at the same time.
Coll Index – (Integer) outputs the current index number of the collision. This might be used to get the current progress of the collision evaluation. Collision index can become as big as the Number of Collisions value, if this is reached the collisions are done.
Coll Particle A – (Particle) outputs the particle A of the collision pair. This output is always evaluated before particle B!
Coll Particle B – (Particle) outputs particle B of the collision pair.
Coll Floor – (Bool) when a collision with the floor object happens, this output will be set to True.
Coll Position – (Position) outputs the real world position Collision point.
Coll Normal – (Normal) outputs the normal of the calculated collision point.
Coll Position A – (Position) outputs the collision position of Particle A in local object space.
Coll Position B – (Position) outputs the collision position of Particle B in local object space.

Rollout Menus

The Shape Collision operator is used to control all true shape collision dynamics in thinkingParticles.

Particle

Group –this drop-down list selects the particle collision partners for the floor or inter-particle collision.

All Physics based parameters are set and controlled within the particle group itself. Select the relevant particle group in the particle group tree view to access the dynamic properties of a particle group.

Deflector – is used to choose the deflector objects. Important: those objects will be treated as unyielding, all the time, regardless of their local physics settings. One application would be to use recorded particles as deflectors.
Size As Mass – Activate this checkbox to enable an automatic mass calculation that is based on the size of the particle. For example, a particle with a size of 2.0 will be treated as 2 Kg.

Floor

Voxel Grid– This spinner defines the number of cubic subdivisions to wrap the object’s outer boundaries within.

Important when you set Voxel Grid to 0 (zero) a true box collision is assumed, when set to 1 (one) the mesh itself is used to test the collision to the nearest surface point. The latter mode is much more accurate but it also uses more CPU computing time so it is slower.

Optimize – Activate this checkbox to enable the parameters found in the Rollout Menu. The face count of the colliding meshes will be automatically reduced. This face reduction is only done “internally” for the collision objects and not for the rendering mesh. This option may speed up the dynamic simulation enormously. However, if overdone the results may be inaccurate.
Elasticity – Use this parameter to control the bounce value between the floor<->particle collisions. Higher values will make the particles lose less energy per bounce. Be aware that values greater than 100 will create extra energy and the particles will gain energy with each bounce.
Dynamic Friction – This spinner sets the friction (you can also think of it as “power loss”) between particles and the floor when they impact with each other. Please note that this power loss ONLY happens on impact.
Static Friction – This spinner defines the friction between particles and the floor when they are in contact (sliding). Higher values will make the particles slide less.
Velocity Friction – This spinner defines the relative speed difference between two particles. A slower particle will force a faster one to slow down. This can be used to simulate viscous substances like molasses.

Show Voxels

Show Voxels – check this option to enable Voxel debug mode. When on, Voxels will be visible in the view port as small red dots.
Initialized Only – when checked, initialized Voxels will be shown as green dots. Initialized Voxels are those Voxels involved in the final collision detection to find the closest surface point of a colliding partner.
Direction – when checked yellow dots appear on the surface of the colliding objects indicating the direction of collision based on the nearest Voxel in space.

Recorder

thinkingParticles allows you to record particle dynamics. It is always a good idea to use this feature whenever a simulation seems to be perfect for the job. Recording the particles as they bounce around will make life easier at a later rendering stage. Playback from hard disk is also usually much faster than calculating the solution each time you play back the particle collisions.
Select Record File – Click this button to bring up a standard Windows Save dialog. Any legal name and path can then be specified to save the recorded particle simulation.
Simulate, Play, Record – These buttons are fairly self-explanatory. The Simulate button turns the recorder into playback mode and will play back the recorded file on hard disk as you scrub the 3ds Max frame slider in the viewports. The Record button will switch the recorder into record mode. With the record button pressed, clicking the Play button on the 3ds Max timeline will start the recording and simulation of the particle dynamics. After the last frame has been reached, the recording automatically stops and turns into Play mode to show you the results.
Active Time Segment / Range – This is a standard 3ds Max control that lets you choose whether you want to record the entire particle animation, or just a specified range of frames as defined within the two spinners.
Redraw Views – when checked, the 3ds Max view ports will be updated while simulating. Depending on scene comlexity it might be a good idea ot turn of View Updates while simulating.

Optimize Rollout

This rollout is responsible for adjusting the degree of optimization for the particle collisions.
Off Under Faces – If an object that is being sent to be optimized has fewer faces than the threshold value set in this spinner, it will not be processed for optimization and ignored. This does not affect it’s participation within the simulation, it simply removes it from the optimization routines.
Face Thresh – This spinner sets the threshold angle used to determine which faces are collapsed during the optimization process. Low values produce less optimization but better approximations of the original shape. Higher values improve optimization, but are more likely to result in faces that render poorly as you get more degenerate triangles. (see Bias below for information on how to control this).
Edge Thresh — This spinner sets a different threshold angle for open edges (those that bound only one face). A low value preserves open edges. At the same time you can apply a high Face Threshold value to get good optimization.
Bias — This spinner’s value helps eliminate the skinny or degenerate triangles that can occur during optimization, which in turn can cause simulation and rendering artifacts. Higher values keeps triangles from becoming degenerate. The default of 0.1 is generally considered enough to eliminate the skinniest triangles, while a value of 0.0 turns the Bias setting off.
Max Edge Len — This spinner specifies the maximum length beyond which an edge cannot be stretched when optimized. When Max Edge Len is 0, it has no effect. Any value greater than 0 specifies the maximum length of the edges. Along with Bias, this control helps you avoid creating long skinny faces while optimizing.
Preserve Smooth Boundaries — Optimizes an object and maintain its smoothing. When turned on, allows only faces that share at least one smoothing group to collapse.

Physics Rollout

Collision Iteration – This spinner sets the number of sub-steps to be used to estimate the real collision point of colliding objects. The lower this number, the faster the simulation will run. However, lower values would also mean less accurate results. In most situations, you can keep this value between 5-10, while in exceptionally complex scenes, you can try to set a value as high as 30 to get more accuracy.

コリジョンの精度を上げるためのサブステップを指定できる。高い精度を得るには30という高い数字を入れることができるが、ほとんどの状況では5から10の間でいい。

Contact Iteration – This spinner defines the number of sub-steps to be used between colliding objects to create a “contact” situation. Face to face contact is one of the most complex situations to handle for the dynamics engine. Increase this value to get more realistic simulations.

ぶつかったときの精度を上げるためのサブステップを指定できる。より現実的なシミュレーションを得るためにこの値を増加させてください。

Deactivation Time – This spinner defines the time-slot in which a particle is surveyed to determine whether it is actively moving due to dynamics or simply performing a stupid “dynamics dance” as it comes to rest. If a particle falls into this time-slot and it’s speed or rotational value is equal or below the ones defined, it is considered sleeping or frozen. Lower values will freeze the particles much faster. This spinner works in concert with the two spinners below it (Velocity Thresh. and Rotation Thresh.).
Velocity Threshold – This spinner sets the minimum speed an object needs to fall below to become treated as frozen or inactive. Be aware that other objects interacting with a sleeping one may change this status when the impact creates a velocity higher than this value.
Rotation Threshold – This spinner sets the minimum rotational speed and object needs to fall below to become treated as frozen or inactive. As is the case with the Velocity Threshold, be aware that other objects interacting with a sleeping one may change this status when the impact creates an angular velocity higher than this value.
Activate All – This checkbox will “wake up” frozen fragments after they have been deactivated either by Velocity Threshold or Rotational Threshold. This setting can be helpful when working with fragments, since frozen particles don’t respond to space warps.
