Marrow - GPU Tetrahedral Soft Body for Blender

amsy3d in Animation

Soft bodies with an inside

Blender's soft body modifier is a spring lattice stretched over your surface. It has no volume, so a squashed sphere stays squashed and a pressed arm goes flat instead of bulging. Marrow fills the mesh with a tetrahedral cage and solves real material through it on the GPU - so the flesh displaces, bulges and comes back, and a live frame still costs 1 to 2 ms.

"Compute shaders"means a GPU feature (part of OpenGL 4.3+) that lets the graphics card run general-purpose calculations, not just draw pixels. That's what the solver runs on.

Roughly, that means:

- NVIDIA: GeForce 900 series or newer

- AMD: GCN 4th-gen / RDNA1 or newer

- Intel: Kaby Lake integrated graphics or newer, or Arc

- Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and up) via Metal


Anything older than that (or old integrated graphics from before ~2016) is the only case where you might run into trouble.
