This is a setup developped in only a few days for a very short film called “Cinemarmot”. 

I designed it because we needed the groom of the characters to have some level of collision for a more lifelike feel, but couldn’t afford based on time and ressources to simulate them. 

Here is how it works: 

– The guides of the groom collides with itself and the character’s body and additionnal assets in vdb form, giving it a more lifelike feel than only using a guide deform.

– The setup also works directly in real time when moving assets in the scene.

Down below you will find a short demo of the setup in video !
