I have had a play with Syflex in ice for this and it works a treat with pinning by null. The problem is I need to do hundreds of these happening at once, I have looked at flocking but it looks too much like a school of fish of course. Just thought someone might have some ideas, it’s almost like I need an instanced pointcloud but with cloth properties! Cheers, N
