Two Rigid Body simulations in the same scene

Artwork Finished Projects

Good Day,

I am trying to make a scene where I have ice cubes falling into a glass, liquid pouring into the glass (which I will add later), and then using wind to simulate the ice cubes floating on the later added liquid.

I am using rigid body to have the ice cubes fall into the glass which is working. I have baked that simulation and then baked to frames, and then removed rigid body world.

I then added wind and keyframed wind strength and flow to 0 on keyframe 1 to keyframe 64 with the same settings and then another keyframe at frame 68 where I turn the strength to 10 and the flow to 245 and play the animation and I do not get any wind animation. I’ve tried adding new rigid body physics to the ice cubes and glass again and still no results.

Am I going at this the wrong way??

Thanks

There’s your answer, no?

So…After many tries I could not get the wind sim to work. After endless searching a number of suggestions were to animate the ice cubes manually which is what I ended up doing. I believe that if I could have gotten the wind sim to work I would have had a more desirable effect with the ice cubes bobbing and moving with the liquid more naturally. Oh well, will keep trying. I am attaching my current file in MP4. Keep in mind that I am a hobbyist. :slight_smile:

Why not separate it out into 2 files?

One file would have the cubes dropping simulation. 2nd file would pick up from the end of the cubes dropping and have the wind simulation in it…

Just my thoughts…
