Softbodies intersecting easily

[josemendez]

Hi Jose,

I'm finding that softbodies intersect and get stuck inside each other incredibly easily. In the video example, I have pretty much a standard ball from the ball pool scene and a larger hemisphere softbody. When I jump the ball onto the hemisphere, with very little forces involved other than gravity, the ball gets stuck in the larger object and sucked in.

Hi Matt,

No, this behavior should not usually take place. What's the mass of these particles? Looks as if the ball is much heavier than the platform. In that case, it will be very easy for the ball to push the platform's particles apart and go into it. Making the platform heavier than the ball should help.

Note the same will happen with rigidbodies, eg if you place a heavy rigidbody on top of a light one, at a certain mass ratio they'll just go trough each other.

kind regards,
