How to retain stiffness when using many small particles? - Crocomodo - 01-05-2019

I need to use one particle per vertex which in turns, automaticallay cause softbody to lose stiffness. The problem is it become too soft and the stiffness slider(on Shape Matching Constraints) only goes up to 1. Any suggestion?

Hi, you can do any combination of these to increase stiffness:

1.- Create larger clusters.
2.- Increase the amount of shape matching constraint iterations.
3.- Increase the amount of solver substeps.
4.- Decrease the timestep.
