CINEVERSITY

Hi kariomart.

Typically, any Dynamic system, to my knowledge, is based on the idea that Dynamics take over, except you have forces enabled, then it mixes the data.

While not having a file here, I would suggest that you eventually cache the dynamic solution you have, then use a Current State to Object.

With a non-dynamic copy of your object, use the Pose Morph and drag the "Current State to Object" results inside. Relative should work fine.

Please note that the Pose Morph can't replicate the complexity of the movement from start to finish; it will be a straight line between the "same" points.

Yes, opinion-intnetion,

To my knowledge, Hierarchy works only in MoGrpah objects.

Please use this link

and please use "Share Your Ideas" to request this option.

Perhaps a Fracture Object as Parent might help, not knowing the set up…

I surely will support this.

My best wishes

Hi Mitch,

Thanks for the file.
I replaced the Floor Dynamics (Backdrop) with a Plane.
I have set the Wheel Dynamic Shape to a Cylinder Z
Increased the scale to 5 cm
Friction to 80% for all
I left the Bounce at 0% even though I think that is not how I would do it, but I guess that is your target.
I cached it, and it looks acceptable to me.

It runs fast; I placed (standard render) a checkerboard on the wheel.

What you might have used, but since I write in a forum:

I hope that works for you.

All the best

Thank you very much for the kind feedback, Adam; I love to do that.

If there is anything else, I'm happy to look in the morning into it. (midnight here)

My best wishes for your project.

Nice that you found a sweet spot spot for your project, Adam.

My best wishes for your project.

Thanks a lot, video-resource!

Yes, Scatter would be the correct name—no idea how that happened. 😉
Should I blame my text correction, hehe? No, it was certain me: So sorry about the time you wasted.
The Matrix-Scatter is a comfortable way, a mixture of Matrix and RS-Tag (Redshift Object Tag).

I'm super glad it helps to cut down render times.

My best wishes for your project

Hi object-kind,|

Please have a look here:

I have simplified the setup and replaced the cubes with a proxy chain element.

There is usually an option to use a proxy object to have a more detailed model visible, but not used as the dynamic base.

My suggestion here is either cache the solution and replace then the parts or use after caching the Matrix (or a new Cloner) object and use the cached dynamic to drive the detailed version.

I have used the Ornament Sphere here as a Clone, while it is placed based on Cloner> Sort and Plaineffector> Modify Clones (driven by a MoGraph Selection.

You might like to adjust the project Settings> Dynamics> Steps.

All the best
