Hi everyone, I've learned with all my experiments with soft body physics and many objects connected together with constraints that we need a Physics Brush Tool added to the new iClone 8 Character & Object Physics Painter Toolset adopted from Character Creator weight painting & sculpting tool (not saying that exists for iClone 8)  You would be able to shape a bunch of constrained objects, push hair or cloth (like character cheeks) into a default position (like a wind gust) that will react with physics settings like gravity or be in an ideal settled state before a simulation begins.

 I hear about people asking for scatter tools, this tool however is meant to influence objects with physics only. You might be able to scatter faster with this tool than going through deep procedural nodes/lists because the brushes in this system are defined by weight textures to push/pull, accumulate or explode rigid bodies, wrinkle cloth or keyframe a gust of wind between keyframes, create an fist indent on your Soft body character as the start scene (it will resume the character's face unless you keyframe that indent on multiple keyframes) I envision default/preset brushes but also brushes that can be customized from any existing brush and saved.This will be an amazing and blazingly fast scene creating/shaping tool once Reallusion has finished developing it Vote for the Physics Brush here: https://www.reallusion.com/FeedBackTracker/Issue/Physics-Brush-to-shape-a-bunch-of-constraint-connected-objects-cloth-this-brush-could-be-part-of-the-iClone-Physics-Reach-Target-Texture-painting-tools
