ROCKY Realistic Particle Sets
ROCKY enables you to accurately replicate many types of materials—such as ore, grain, plastic, and metal—and enbles you to do so with varying levels of moisture.
Below are some examples of the type of materials you can replicate in ROCKY. Click an image to see a larger version.
To learn how to create these particle shapes for yourself, read through the ROCKY Particle Type Supplement, or watch the Set Up Particle Groups video demo.
