Missing RC nodes with Houdini - Reality Capture April 2, 2019, 4:47 p.m.

same problem here, do you think it might be an apprentice limitation?

Play around with the Physical tab on the blocks and the ground plane. If you zero out Bounce Forward the leaves will mostly stick. There is also a Physical tab on the popobject as well. These values play off of one another during the simulation.

I tweaked some values and changed the Swirl Size on the wind.

Hi Enivob.
thank you very much for the suggestions.
I am aware of the parameters that you mention, to tweak the overall feel of the movement.
But this is not why I am posting….
Have a look at when the little blocks hit the big blocks, the little blocks goes spinning. BAD, Very bad. ;-)
The little blocks don't even need to hit the big blocks IMHO.
There is a node called PopSoftLimit, i think that might help but i don't know how to use it.
