Awesome. I think the first option will be a good start. Thank you.

I've uploaded a section from the original scene with annotations.

Hi,

I have a Rube machine which I'm using dynamics to animate. On one section the ball gets stuck in a rail. The rail has a collider tag and is set to Convex Hulls. Setting the Geometry Accuracy to 10 on the rail will still get the ball stuck as the Rigid Body shape isn't leaving enough room for the ball to travel past. Setting the rail to Triangle Mesh doesn't work either as the ball just falls through the rail.

Any suggestions?

How can I randomize the rotation of objects in a cloner 360 deg but in steps of 90 deg?

This worked much better. In the end I used the splines from a Sub-D version of the mesh the geo sat much better against the bottle. Thanks.

Ok, thanks for that, I'll take a look. Originally I had tried to wrap Text Geo onto the bottle via Spline Wrap deformer but I couldn't get all letters to sit flush with the bottle.

Having a hard time unwrapping this simple bottle. However I try it it still results in distortion right where the two labels would go.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Hey -

I'm not able to get a consistent sweep along this spline as sections of it appear twisted. I've tried a rail spline but that didn't help either.

I saw a technique some time ago where you could use low poly objects in a cloner that were in a simulation (in this case, just dropping into a box) but the high poly version would be actually rendered. The low poly version was just used to speed up the simulation.

I've Googled around but came up short. Can you show me please ?)
