Problem

Description:

For a good year now, changing states from fluid to soft hasn't worked.

At the moment it changes states but resets to initial shape.

This function worked in the demo videos, and is one of the reasons I bought Lucid in the first place.


When can we expect a fix please?

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a simulation.
Change keys to step mode with animate on
Set fluid preset on one object, simulate until a collision and then change the setting to soft.

When the animation is simulated, when it hits the change of state, the animation resets back to the starting point rather than simulating from that point on with the new state in the current shape.

Hi,

I'm sorry for all the inconvenience. On my end the simulation can change states without going back to the initial shape, but there are artifacts and undesired movement. This feature must have been broken at some point. I will push this up personally with high priority.

OK, thanks Jeordanis!

Hi Steven,

The team determined that the states should be changeable, however, is it not possible to preserver momemtum when the change happens, you can see that in the demo video.

OK, thanks
