Displacement in objects, RBDs or particles or other?Realflow would be the way
to go if you want to animate lots of balls, do it as fat liquid particles (un
-compressable) then bring the particles into XSI and use instances...
If they're not balls RealFlow also handles RBDs and you'd get accurate
collisions... the particle option is good if you're not too fussed about
geometry interpenetrating, but then you'd get a pretty good rough you could
then tweak after plotting each objects transforms...
If you're on the Beta list you'd have a pretty good idea then of what can be
done with the new RBDs... :)

Subject: Displacement in objects, RBDs or particles or other?
Anyone have any recommendations for displacement of a sea of inter colliding
objects by another animated swimming object?
Kind of like when you jump into the ball pit at Chucky Cheese.
I don't doo too much particles in XSI so I'm not sure but unlike piling a
stack of particles up, displacing fluid particles by droppping something into
it seems difficult to control.
The hundreds of RBD objects required limits interaction and its use is best
discussed on the other list, but mentioned here as an attmepted solution and to
let everyone know they exist in v4 and are fun.
Thank you, Graham
