This is the place where you specify the objects to be linked. MultiJoints can only be applied to objects with active rigid or soft body features.

  • “By contact”. The nodes from “Objects A | B” are connected automatically. Adjustments are made with the associated “Contact ...” parameters.
  • “By stem (leaves A, trees B)”. This mode is suitable for plants and similar setups. The leaves have to be under “Objects A”, the stems or branches under “Objects B”. The leaves have to be very close to the tree's branches.
  • “At locators positions”. Here you create one or more objects and place it between the objects meant to be linked. The joints will be created at the pivot points of the helper nodes. All locator nodes have to be added to “Locators”.
  • “At locators bbox centres”. This mode allows you to use any objects shape as a locator. The geometrical centre of a bounding box around the selected locator(s) is used to create the joints.
  • “At locators vertices”. With this mode, the locator's vertex positions are used to connect the two nearest objects from “Objects A | B”. Objects will be linked, even if they are far away from the joint.
Contact distance search

This feature works only with “Creation Mode” set to “By contact”. With this parameter you can define the distance at which RealFlow should look for objects to connect. By increasing this value you can look for object pairs which are further away.
