Particles in a conveyor

Ok, let's hope Tyson see this thread, and is able to help you.

Cheers, and good luck.

Thanks,

Using the spherical emitter was very useful. It revealed that conveyor never moved the particles. Initially the speed came from planar emitter that's why the particles seemed to move with the conveyor. They had inertia speed to same direction and stopped when they should have climbed. The spherical emitter revealed that the conveyer didn't move the particles at all; it worked as a deflector.

By the way, is it possible to contact him and ask to look at this?

Yet another day with this project and zero productivity with tyFlow. I don't know what is going wrong here? I also sent an email to tyFlow support yesterday.

Hi Guys, hope you're well.

I've read through this thread and I'm hoping this would apply in some way to what I need to achieve. I'm new to Tyflow, and just wanted some general guidance. I need to create bottles being pushed onto a conveyor (fed from a smaller conveyor), filling up the space inside a machine (larger conveyor moving slowly) and then exiting out of the machine on another smaller conveyor.

Any advice, or tutorials would be greatly appreciated! By no means am I asking you to teach me, just need a general direction.

Thank you for taking the time to help others.

I got a tip this morning about what was wrong in my simulation. There was one option I hadn't changed from the default value - see the attachment. This has been set up according to downloadable tyFlow sample scene - tyFlow_conveyorBelt_001.max.

I noticed one thing. I don't know how to hide the conveyor "belt" generated by tyFlow. It's baked into rendering cache.

Edit: I made the tyFlow conveyor operator same material to the render conveyor so it's not so visible any more.

One thing more,

The conveyor part is working now correctly, but multifracture stopped working. Is it due to PhysX?
