Blender Tutorial – Everything you NEED to know about the Molecular Script Add-On!


https://i.ytimg.com/vi/haS3B6q82kY/hqdefault.jpg



I’m slowly making my way through tutorials the various Blender physics simulation systems, and thought I’d branch out a little bit and cover a type of physic simulation not covered in Blender by default. The Molecular Script Add-On by PyroEvil is my favourite plugin for physics simulation in Blender, and it can give you great results. In my opinion, its functionality should be included in Blender by default, but there’s nothing I can do about that :'(

Anyway, over at the /r/simulated subreddit, there are lots of people that want to learn how to use PyroEvil’s Molecular Add-On, but the documentation isn’t that clear and there are very few tutorials on it. So I thought I’d make this for anyone who wanted to grasp the basics of the add-on, and how to use the various simulation modes available.

If you still have any questions about this script, or any sort of simulation question, feel free to post them down below 🙂

  1. For those who are having the collision problem of around 7:50, I found it helpful to just scale the Brownian force for random collision distribution, and time remapping to be faster.(Know that you'll have to extend end frame as you remap)

  2. When he makes a duplicate… what exactly does he do there? He does Shift-D and then moves the duplicate and then clicks something that doesn't show up… and the duplicate disappears… but then he's over to the side and adjusting things as if he's adjusting the duplicate… but when I follow along, I shift-d… left click and as far as I can tell it doesn't create a duplicate….?

  3. Hello Moby Motion,

    I really like your videos. Very well made, very nice demo scene, high information density (compared to the information input, not a single second got wasted), and structured in a way even I could follow without any problems.

    when I do @4:57 (emit from volume AND grid setting) I get a diagonal gap in the grid (visible @7:57)

    how can I get rid of those grid defects? have you found a way around it?

    Would be very thankful for any help!

  4. Hi, thanks so much for this useful tutorial, but I'm having trouble with Blender 2.79b running on Windows 10. The simulation leads to a crush 100% of the times I run the simulation after adding the pipe.. I noticed that this add-on is updated only to Blender 2.77. How can I fix this? Seems like it's not compatible with the latest release! 🙁
