While the big deal about Vellum are its constraints, it can still be used to set up particles without constraints connecting them. Which for us means: Grains! In Vellum.

In this tutorial we'll go over creating a basic grain setup and tweking it to simulate clumping.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have a question, why I can't see the breaktreshold attrib from the geo spreadsheet? I am using version 18.5.

If you are following along; what's going to mess you up is Houdini inverted a lot of values to be less ridiculous. There is a multiplier value next to the Stiffness. By default it is now set to 1e+10 and the stiffness value default is 1. Mo adjusts the stiffness to 100,000. So 1 x 100,000 is what you need or 100,000 x 1. Not 100,000 x 1e+10 nor 1 x 1e+10. I was getting very frustrated until I used my brain and looked more carefully :) Hope this helps someone!
