Fill An Object With Other Objects | Falling Cubes Inside Glass Jar | Rigid Body Physics In Blender

In this tutorial, we have discussed an easy technique in Blender, on how to fill any hollow container, like a jar, with small cubes or dice. We used the Array Modifier to duplicate the cubes, and we used Rigid Body Physics to fill the container with those cubes. It is easy but interesting. Please watch the video for the complete tutorial. If you have any question on this tutorial, please leave your comment below.

THIS is how to make a tutorial. FIVE STARS! * * * * * You not only fully explained, step-by-step how to make use of rigid body physics, you also showed how to make a glass jar in 2 minutes and 30 seconds! 90% of the BLENDER tutorials on YouTube show the beginner NOTHING but a speed demo, with the instructor slowly panning around their creations, and then speeding through the locations of controls and input of settings, in microseconds. YOU created an actual tutorial. SUPER JOB!

Instead of making and assigning several different materials for various colors, you could make one material connected to a Color Ramp with various colors. Then connect an Object Info node Random socket into the Color Ramp Factor. It will randomly assign many colors to the cubes with one material.

I can only agree with the previous comment. Great tutorial! Very helpful. Many thanks for creating & sharing.

[Charles-swkc]

A tutorial that actually delivers is great:)

[daniellee]

Tip: if your objects are all bouncing and flying away turn down the Collision margin in the rigid body settings to something a little lower, worked for me.

[CarlosSaulRodriguezA]

Your tutorials are amazing, very easy to follow, fun to reproduce the results and with lot of attention to details about little mistakes that noobs like me can make while learning the basics, yet i don't know how you have no more subscribers or views... I added to my "learning" playlist btw :)

[ComplexTagret]

Thank you for deep explanation! I glad to see new video!

[iamrusdark]

Cool! Thanx! I like the idea of the second cyllinder that restricts the fall of the cubes.

[vroadrunner]

brilliant! exactly what I needed for my project. Thank you!

[shycatd]

That was so lovely!
Thank you for creating such tutorial
:D

[MO-mijm]

Hello, thank you for the good tutorial!
Can I ask you a question? I'm sorry in advance if I am wrong, because I am not good at English.
I put the candy in the jar well.
I want to keep the candy inside, but when I move the animation bar, it escapes out of the jar.
Can't you apply it like Modifire Properties and make it immovable?

[biraescudero]

Hi! I tried to make it work many times, without success. Your tips are great, but could it be done using particles and each object as a particle?
Thanks for this clear tutorial!

[stuCameraman]

Very good tutorial for a newbee like me... Many thanks 🔥🔥🙏👍🏼❤️

[secondfruit]

u help me on my project thanks a lot mate

[rogerstich]

nice Tut.
When i have finished this, and i just want the Cubes to stay in place (for usage in a image) how do i approach this?

[hungrysquishybrain]

Wonderful, concise content. But when I create this, my objects keep jiggling around. Your cubes here, fall, move around to get settled, then stop moving. My cubes keep wiggling and wiggling non-stop forever. I make many adjustments to the Rigid Body settings, yet, the jiggling around will not stop. Can you help, please?

[ginagin]

I have a question! I want to duplicate this jar and cubes and move them to another location. How to do it?
Amazing videos! Thank you!
...and sorry for my English!

[willofthisheart]

thank you for the tutorial. i want to render an image with lemons in a bowl. how can i get rid of the animation and use only the last frame as the first frame

[muhammadhanis]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I just got a small problem when active object keep moving around the jar. I can't figured out how to make the animation stop completely 😅
