ANIMATION using SOFT BODY Simulations!!! | Blender 3D Tutorial
Фильм және анимация
Learn multiple uses for the Soft Body physics simulation in this Blender 3D Tutorial!
Create a dynamic chain necklace and pendant rig, while also showing how you can apply it to create anything from animated swinging signs, moving cables, rope or chains, and how to even use soft body physics to add motion really quickly to solid objects like lamps!
This tutorial uses free CGI VFX software Blender so anyone can try!

This is the type of content what blender tutorials need to have. The nitty gritty stuff that matters and the hustle that goes into all the little things that just get overlooked.

Lord have mercy. This was the exact video I needed; I didn't realise it was going be such a complex process but I'm so unbelievably grateful for this video, as there is absolutely no chance I would have figured this out on my own. Videos like this make me realise how far I still have to go in my Blender journey. Thank you so much!

Hands down the best tutorial for this stuff! Though one thing to note at 8:06 : To make baking time less of a problem, you can use a highly decimated lowpoly duplicate of your collider. Soft Body unfortunately is extremely unforgiving when it comes to sim and collision polycount. You can create a collection dedicated to those colliders and set it to be used as a collision collection in the softbody properties. For me, this sped up baking times immensely, as i'm working with quite dense character models which made the baking take several minutes for a few frames
@lewisanimation
Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for this! This is a really great suggestion and I'll definitely start using this for high poly models :)
in your back settings you can set simulation start to -20 and in a lot of cases it will get your simulation settled to a natural position by time it gets to frame 1 and its being captured in render
best blender tutorial i have watched. i have played around with the settings, and made multiple chains similar to this to get used to the mechanics and settings. the key is to expect blender to not work the first or second time, but to keep trying out new settings and process to solve the problem.

Very Cool and make it really realistic !
really well presented and explained!! been looking for the magic of soft body dynamics.
Great way to get around animating a chain, doing it the rigid body way is far harder as the links often break. Excellent tutorial!

maybe somebody struggled with the same problem, that the connected object just falls down with the gravity and doesn't seem to be connected to the softbody. Turning the type of the rigit body in the physics settings of the connected object to *passive* helps.

Make sure that you get rid of the faces inside the mesh. When you merge the edges, it means you also are merging two faces together inside of the mesh. Make sure you delete that face!

Thanks so much for this tutorial. Very in depth but still quite crisp. I do have one question though: The attached cube / pendant is deforming and stretching while being simulated. Any idea what that could be? I even deleted the MASS weight vertex group but that's not it.
great tutorial but i do think showing the hotkeys/shortcuts you’re using on screen (like shift + s) would help improve these tuts a bit

Thank you for your tutorial--it's been so long since I used soft bodies, so I'm glad you so were so thorough. Quick question, though. I have a soft body and it's just up and down but parented to an empty at the bottom. It follows the empty but won't pick off the ground, no matter the setting. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for this tutorial 🙏 I have an issue: in the area where an empty object is connected to the mesh, during simulation, the geometry of the chain gets distorted. Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks for the amazing video, do you have the long version for beginners?
Really great and thorough tutorial Thanks for the info this is exactly what i was looking for. Just one issue I'm running into. When I press play or bake, my soft body necklace falls right through the object. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for the great tutorial! I got a question though. How to bake pendant action so that it could be exported as Alembic? No problem with the chain exporting out after baking.
Hey ! Thanks a lot for this in-depth look at soft bodies. I'm currently trying to accuately simulate a festoon light suspended by two or four strings, and falling back to the ground at the ends. Would-you think I can achieve it using your method ? Best regards, -AH-
The only channel where I have to decrease the video speed instead of increasing it *_*
Could I use this same method to basically turn a flat loop cut torus into a belt? Skipping a lot of the setup for the chain and stuff obviously, and just using the same rigging method?
THIS IS COOL AS F***
