Vorlex - ICE Rigid Body
VorleX is a set of ICE compounds that allows simulate any polygonal object as rigid
body, independently of point clouds, instances etc.
Note that the center of object must be placed in the object geometrical center to
work correctly ( Transform -> Move Center to Vertices ). But it's not necessary.
See the si-community discussion for more information and video examples. Note that this compounds can be made to interact with fluids (SPH).

I hope VorleX would be usefull. Test it please to help me fix bugs.

Re: ICE Rigid Body
thanks for sharing it, ZSelector!...looks handy.
Re: ICE Rigid Body
wow thanks! is there a reason why you did this and not use the built in PhysX RBD ?

There are no possibilities to use PhysX RBD with ICE.
Re: ICE Rigid Body
Great, looks cool!
Inspiring.
Second ICE tree is a bit beyond my current skills (maybe never will be that smart).
Thanks again for sharing

Re: Vorlex - ICE Rigid Body
Hey Zselector - dont know if you are still out there , but just wanted to thank you for posting the ICE tree for the SPH floating liquids , I *eventually* realised it could be used to make Rigid Body Objects react to a particle ICE cloud - very neat! So Ive biult the tree as you outlined - the only issue was the fcurve node needed to go from 1 - 0 and it works ! very happy with this so I thought I'd do a capture of it working , pretty much real time with the objects AND the elephant, nice.
And this was promted from you, Thomas Helzle - if you are listening , I remembered & explored this as an alternative to the built-in RBD engine, as this is most definitely a way to have Rigid Body dynamics on objects, including changing states on collisions, that can easily be controlled with ICE. As Zselector says, currently "There are no possibilities to use PhysX RBD with ICE"

Re: Vorlex - ICE Rigid Body
Ooohh... New ICE tools
Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
It's amazing how much cool tools come out based on the ICE engine. It seems the sky's the limit.
Again, thanks,
rob
p.s. Tekano, cool particle trick

Re: Vorlex - ICE Rigid Body
Hi, should this work with 2012? I'm returning to Soft after many years forced absence and I've tried adding the compound to the Data>Compounds folder and it's still not appearing in the ICE list, is this because I'm on 2012?
Cheers!

Re: Vorlex - ICE Rigid Body
One way to get them to show up in your Preset Manager is editing the compound, clicking the little "e" in the top-left, and adding a name in the "category" or "tasks" field (the tasks field wants two names - the base category, a slash and a folder name), and then save them in your compounds directory. If you add, for instance "VorleX" to the category field, the compound will eventually (after refreshing the preview manager) show up in a subfolder named "VorleX" in the "Tool" tab of the preset manager...
