Can cloth & particle physics nodes collide with cloth or particles in another event?

Hi there,

Quick question - Can 'cloth' & 'particle physics' nodes in one event collide with cloth or particles in another event?

I've attached a max file with a simple example to illustrate what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks

Sure, just disable "process only this event" in the Particle Physics operator.

Thanks for that.

Is it also possible for cloth to collide with another cloth in a separate event without the "Particle Physics" node?

The only way I've gotten this to work is by copying an instance of the cloth node from one event to the other.
However I need different cloth settings for each event, so I can't use this method.

Thanks again.

Yes, with the CUDA collision solver (available in the beta, or PRO) you can have proper inter-cloth collisions. Otherwise you need to use Particle Physics.

Not sure what you mean by copying an instance of the cloth operator to another event...unless I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about, that wouldn't have an impact on inter-cloth collisions.
