Glenn Frey shows how to set soft body dynamics to look like plastic deformations.

Soft body dynamics, while the name brings visions of cloth and other soft materials, can be helpful for different types of dynamics. You can use soft bodies for creating dents in harder surface objects, like plastic.

Watch Maxon’s Glenn Frey show us a couple of relevant settings that can make plastic deformations using soft body dynamics in Cinema 4D. Glenn shows how you can form dents in a plastic material by stiffening up an attribute in the settings. Soft bodies are a great way to create damage with dynamic sims.
