how to stop instances from intersecting and clumping?

Post by thorsnuts » 28 May 2014, 18:22

Hello,

I'm instancing geo on an animated mesh.. no problem. But I was wondering how to get the instances from clumping to close to each other and stop them from intersecting? The randomness of the particles is fine its just in need of something to recognize how close it is to its neighbor.

Thanks

There are some nodes that do that. Search for Darthrow http://julianjohnsonsblog.blogspot.pt/2 ... -size.html

Also scatters that are around might have the node solution that you are after.

A buddy of mine let me know about an emTools compound that works great. EmTools Equal Distribution by Mootziod.
