Hi MaverickMongoose,

You have not shared how the file from above performed.
CV4_2026_drs_25_MGta_11.c4d

For "test_0001.c4d"
I miss the results from the Object Profiler or if that is not an option to answer, please try: Shift+C--> Calculate FPS -> Animation Test.
Let me know what FPS it shows. Here is my results with 361 clones:
Frames: 81|Total time: 24.700|FPS: 3.28 (I tested a few times, that was the best)

Hi catch-place,

I invested some time into it. I can't pinpoint what is going on in the file. However, copying and pasting it into an empty file allowed me to cache the file.

I did some changes, instead of deactivating the Rigid Body, I have set the trigger to "On Collision" and used a little cube to push them out.

Next, I explored the idea of moving the keyframes to the start and cache from there, which worked as well.

In the folder below you will find the "pasted" file, cached, but also an Alembic file, merged into a C4D file, so you can test.

There is a "deactivating" mechanic in the Rigid Body, but I was not able to pinpoint it to this in a given time frame (I invested a few hours to test, as the caching of the whole file with higher sampling/step rates took quite a while with my little Mac here.

I hope that helps.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers

Hi selection-it,

Thank you very much. Very much appreciated.

Please let me know if you need something else for this setup.

Have a great start to your week.

Hi MaverickMongoose,

Currently, I'm not aware if that is a data conflict or a problem. I have filed a report. Which is the fastest way to get some insights, if it is an internal problem of the Rigid Body.

I replaced the Lipstick model with a simple Cylinder of a similar size. No Problems. When I move the Axis down for the editable version of the Cylinder, I can reproduce it.

What helps is to check the Ridge Body> Mass. Custom Center. (Which feels like a workaround)

Cheers

I'm glad that fits to your current setup needs, Cit.

Thanks for the reply.

Enjoy your project!

Hi Geocoy5,

Please allow access to the files.

All the best

Thank you very much for updating this, c4disstanky.

Very nice of you to take the time.

Yes, that makes sense, … memory.

My best wishes

Thank you for answering your own question, energy-slide.

Since I don't have a file here, I can't share anything extra, but so far, I can see that you are fine.

Enjoy your project.
