Hi guys, I have been playing around with houdini for like a week.
I am trying out the dynamics quickstart tutorial, and wanted to make the vase to break only when it falls off the table and hit the ground.
I tried to keyframe the internal glue strength but it doesnt work. also tried to put an expression and it doesnt work too.
hope somebody can help me out here as to how to make the vase breaks only when it hits the ground.
thanks in advancE!

The values in the setup nodes, like RBD Object and RBD Glue Object, are initial values, and can't be animated directly.

To animate them, you need to use an RBD State node. This gives you access to the parameters you want. Be sure to set the state to “Set Always” on the parameter in question, or it still won't animate.
