Procedures
To create an FFD soft body:
1 Create the mesh to use as the basic, non-deformed state of your soft body.
2 Apply an FFD modifier: the
FFD 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4 on page 1454 or
FFD(box) on page 1460 modifier.
Different FFD dimensions produce different behavior. When using
FFD(box), set the dimensions to a number that leaves the FFD vertices
evenly distributed over the lattice. You can also use the Conform To
Shape command to make the FFD lattice better represent the underlying
geometry.
3 Apply the
reactor Soft Body modifier on page 4038 on top of the FFD
modifier.
4 in the Properties rollout of the Soft Body modifier, choose FFD-Based.
You can now add the body to a
soft body collection on page 4046 and
simulate it as an FFD soft body.
