I have some objects created using the array modifier that I'd like to act as collision objects in a smoke simulation. I know that I could apply the modifier to make the object instances real, but is there a way to make smoke have a collision array with the modifier-generated objects directly?

Original Object, smoke simulation collision works

Array Object, smoke simulation collision fails

@TheJeran pointed out that the modifier order was important, but this doesn't seem to work for me either.

Array Object, with fluid simulation above array fails

Yup!

Just swap the order so that Array comes first in the modifier stack

    $\begingroup$ Thanks, TheJeran, and @vklidu. I had the modifiers in the wrong order and I wasn't clearing the cache correctly. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 7, 2022 at 14:52
