Hello /3/, first time posting here, I posted this on /g/ and they suggested me this board.
lets say I want to simulate a ball inside another one. the inner one has a lower density than the outer one, I would like to measure the impact points and if possible, the impact strenght. can this be done with something like blender? I don't know about alternatives.

not sure about measuring the impact points but pic took me less than a minute on cinema 4d using two balls a boolean for extracting the hole and just a quick dynamics tag and changing the friction/bouncing value.

doesnt look very good desu
>>550378
well if you put an hour of two it could look like the op pic easily.

Thanks for the info, but the pic is just there as a example. Think about doing something like a ribcage (outer ball) and guts (inner ball) so you can simulate impacts. that's why I asked for impact points. the ribcage/guts is also a example but it's more accurate, as I'm willing to simulate some bodyparts being hit.
anyway, thanks for the info, I didn't even know about cinema 4d
I didn’t know this board was so slow when I posted here. I waited until it was on last page to bump it to not be annoying, I’ll bump this just once to gather more information.
So, as I said befor, if I want to simulate a body inside another one and then test impacts on it (think about the bowels inside the body) what should I do?
I heard about a software called Solidedge, but it seems to be just for solid pieces.

honestly this sounds like something that could be done with a bit of coding. why did /g/ send you here?
>>552469
They only know about muh' gentoo
rigid body physics.
the container need to be passive the ball is active.
you can choose the mass from premade presets
>>552477
oh also forgot to mention.
if you want accurate collision you need to change collision from convex hull to mesh

here is the .blend file
i changed the mass to plastic

updated the simulation, just hit play
I downloaded and installed Blender, but I don't know why it just does not work. It doesn't even open.
I'll keep trying.
>>552536
Could be your computer's configuration.
Could help if we know what specs it has.
>>552592
Sorry, I'll try it myself first and come back if I can't solve it.
What happened here? a lot of threads don't have images and its pretty difficult to find and acces them.

zbrush has decimation tool and 3ds max has proOptimizer modifier
