Cell Division

[sdewitt108]

The spherical shape is caused by really low binding stiffness which causes all the bindings to essentially reach equilibrium.

As for your setup....this won't work by having everything in a single event. You need to spread the actions out using a time test, so they inflate for a bit, then get cut/subdivided, then go back to inflating for a bit, etc.

OK thanks again, will try this (at least I'll pretend to understand and then try!).

Don't know if you have seen that on the FB group there is another thread related to this with folks adding their flow ideas to make this work. They are using different techniques however and yours seems more straightforward.

I am trying to create a medical/science animation of cell mitosis (cell division) and was hoping to use this as a starting point.
What I really need is for the divided cells to be more as less as big as the original cell, and not half as small as the starting shape.

Do you think your cell division is a good place to start with this, or is there another way that might be needed to create the (roughly) same size divisions as the original?

I'll also ask, since there seems to be a bit of sarcasm at the beginning of the cell division thread on FB about people "asking for the file" as opposed to figuring it out for themselves. I feel like I understand this attitude somewhat, but also feel like it would be good for you to share and explain as much as possible so that you can get new users (not just old p-flow users) to give tyflow the serious look it deserves.

I guess that is a long-winded way for me to ask if we can see you flow to understand better what is going on.
