delete hybrido particles by volume

Post by ebanb » Thu Jul 31, 2014 4:21 am

I'm trying to delete hybrido particles using a volume derived from a geo mesh. I will be deleting a pattern of particles halfway through the sim, as if they magically disappeared and the rest of the particles continued on their given velocities. Initially I thought I could just use the kVolume node but it has no geo input. None of the other kill deamons really do what I need either. I took a quick look at the sim graph stuff but I have not been successful there either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please take a look at this scene. The included Simulation Flow graph is just a modification of one of the example files coming with RF2014: hybrido_space_variable_viscosity. In this scene, the graph samples an object's signed distance field to differentiate between inside and outside. Instead of applying a new viscosity value I've used the output to find the Ids of the particles inside the "killer object", and removed them.

That sounds like exactly what I'm trying to do. Unfortunately I cant download from the forums, forum says it may be illegal software. I will take a look at the demo scene you mentioned and see if I can fumble my way through it. Thanks for the lead.

I see. Are you a demo user? If not you can send me a PM as well with your mail address. Another way would be to PM me in the unofficial forum. I have the same user name there:

Thank you for your help. In the end I was able to fumble my way through the sim graph using the demo scene you recommended. Thanks again.
