    %(#FF0000)[Hello all,

    Just wondered if anyone could help me with this? I am trying to drop into my model some random foam blocks for a gymnastics landing pit as per the attached photo (blocks shown in green). I have tried combo-spray and canvas but can't seem to get the desired effect. The blocks are 90 x 90 x 600mm. At the moment I am drawing a flat surface and using a photo texture of the blocks which looks dreadful 😮 .

    If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. Many thanks.

    Richard]

        Thanks for that Panixia. I have downloaded and tried and it seems to get the effect I require.

            Did you try using Rigid Bodies in Blender?

              Just thought I'd show a picture to show foam blocks I have now managed to achieve.

              Thanks for the help.
