Bigboss is extremely proud to announce the arrival of an amazing series of special Props & Accessories by Cricky.

This is the Hourglass with Physics Sandflow by Cricky.

This package contains a Demo project with an Hourglass Prop that has sand pebbles that respond to Physics. The Project contains a pre-recorded animation that can be changed.

Method of use:

1) Load Demo Project
2) Press Play
3) Save hourglass as separate Prop for use in other projects

Additional Notes from Cricky:

To Record a new animation:

Turn on the RIGID Body Physics for the Project.

Change Playback to "By Frame"

Press Play and wait it out.

I removed 60 sets of Dynamic Sand Pebbles to reduce transfer size.
If you want more, you can create them by using "CTRL+Drag" or by using Multi-Duplicate.

Whatever you do, make sure the "Pebbles of Sand" Dummy and attached Static/Dynamic pieces are "INSIDE" the Glass and not actually touching the walls when you regenerate the animation.

The presets are Static to a Dynamic Rigid Body State at Frame 200. You of course can change this to your needs.

Not all computers are created equally, so be patient with Rigid Body physics until you can get the settings you want on only one (1) Pebble of Sand group. World Scale, and Gravity will make a difference, and sometimes by only one digit change under your Project Tab. Look at what already exists, and make adjustments as needed based on your Graphics Processor (GPU) and your Central Processor (CPU) abilities. Do not assume my settings will work, but they may come very close.

Save the parts where you like, but I would suggest you keep all parts in a single directory for use again, should the need arise.

Good Luck and let Time keep on ticking into the future.

This Prop was created by Cricky.

Have fun!
