Hi Jose,

I'm writing to you again, because we have this situation:

We have an original 3D mesh with blendshapes and its blueprint configured (with its own properties and particle groups).

At one point the blendshapes change once, and then we bake the mesh with the updated blendshapes, to have the "updated baked mesh".

With this baked mesh we generate its new blueprint, which has exactly the same number of particles as the original blueprint.

Hello Jose,

I'm wondering how I can perform a Raycast to detect if it is colliding with a Softbody.

Perhaps I can create a MeshCollider component and update it to match the current deformation of the Softbody's mesh and detect if the Raycast is colliding with that. Not sure how to get the current deformed mesh of the Softbody if this is even possible/the best option.

Thank you!

Hi Dear Obi Masters,

I want reduce my rope length from around 20 meters to 4 meters for reaching tense ropes. Is there any way to reduce their length without losing current blueprints. I tried to scale down obi solver but rope behaviour does not change. I made at least 35 specific blueprints and i do not want to lose them all. I would be so appreciated if you can help me with this.

Cheers,

Hello,

I do not own Obi fluid yet (I do own a few of your other assets though, so I know how good they are)

I'm desperately looking for a nice solution to create tears (crying character), blood dropping from a wound or even things like Sweating or rain over a face.

While looking on your youtube channel I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDDwaPsy4k4 and got excited that it was indeed possible.

But then I saw the description that it's a toy project and not actual part of Obi Fluid.

But maybe my requirements can be fulfilled with Obi Fluid. I do not need to actually replace my Character skin shader (if possible) for this anyway

Does Obi Fluid have the possibility for what I'm asking for here? if yes could you briefly explain the steps (in high level if it's not too complex)

If not, would the shader from the video capable of doing that? And if so, do you plan to release it anytime soon?

Thank you by advance for your reply!

Hi,

What's the installation process for an HDRP project? 

Thanks

I am thinking about creating an advanced Physiology model  in the span of 1-2 years .
I will need to buy all your packages and I understand that until I will pay for your expertise I will not get detailed answer (and it is fair), I just need to know is it possible at all .



Those blue shapes are cells I would like to use cloth and water package to simulate situation that :

1. 2. pressures in the cells are changing hence they can stretch, and this stretching will affect cells around
      
   3. I would like to program how strongly cells are connected (glued) together so after reaching some threshold they will lose contact
      
   4. Stretching of the cells should also affect space between them, so for example obstructing small blood vessels.
      

1. 2. I would like to be able to regulate the force threshold after which it will burst , so different cells may have different strength
      

1. 2. As you can see i this space between cells in the center as a model of blood/lymphatic vessels - i would like to get situation that a fluid will flow through the vessels only when pressure of fluid (blood) exceeds pressure in the cells (bulging cells should obstruct flow)
      
   3. In case of obstacles (for example like this yellow shape at the bottom) I would like to make the fluid flow turbulent hence less effective
      
   4. I would like also to be able how much of blood is flowing through some area in order to estimate how much for example oxygen it had brought
      
   5. If possible I would like to be able to model adhesion so I have some force of flowing blood depending on pressure I have some force that causes body (blood cell) to attach to the vessel wall as shown here Obviously if blood flow is too fast the cell should not be able to attach to the vessel wall if blood flow is slower, and adhesive force big enough should adhere.
      

1. 2. There may also be external forces like gravity - so will need to model that pressure in tissues lower is higher than those that are higher …
      
   3. External poking, incisions … so it will disintegrate or not depending on programmed factors like cell toughness and force of connections between cells
      

1. 2. Cells also have some cytoskeleton that gives them some elasticity so they behave more like a soft body with variable elasticity , However when cell membrane is ruptured it behaves more like a balloon ruptured.  And when it swells it is partly constrained by the elastic cytoskeleton partly  by the cell membrane.So I would like to program elasticity of the cells.
      

1. 2. As the amount of cells progresses I would like to also mimic the behaviour of soft tissues around bones connected with tendons (your rope package).
      

1. 2. Model will start from single cell in that case I will wrap all in cloth and keep internal organelles as soft bodies that are floating in fluid - should be manageable as far as I had seen your animations
      
   3. Later on as amount of cells will increase the computations needed to manage it all will be unsustainable so i would want to
      
      
      3. Replace actual physics of inside of the cell with prefabricated animation and keep it just as a sacks of fluids that are connected with some preprogrammed force and that has some pressure inside the same in whole section
         
      4. Than if amount of cells will further increase get animations of whole sections and just animate sections of tissues as soft bodies
         
      5. Or is it possible to programmatically dynamically reduce the granularity of physics control when zoom pit and Ingress when zooming in ?
         

1. 2. Also organism as a whole will be suspended in water so i need to keep buoyancy correct (Although I suppose that It will be relatively simple)
      

1. 2. if I would make it as 3d model I will need to show cross sections through some areas  (this may also be a problem because I would need to make visible some layer of the cell , hover physics would need to keep behaving as having organism as a whole so for example I would like to get cross section through blood vessel and show it to user but blood should not flow out until it is actually ruptured, also when looking at cross section of the cell physics needs to behave consistently.
      

1. 2. Obviously it will be far more realistic  to make it as 3d model but obviously it will require far more computational power, However I do not know How much more, so if I think about desktop computer (Let’s make it probable desktop computational power in 4 years) will it possible to manage what I intend in 3d if not in 2d? Does your library work in 2d?
      

Hi there,

I have read that Obi Cloth is not compatible with blendshapes. Because blend shapes change the "rest state" of the cloth, that would involve re-generating the cloth from scratch every time the blend factors change which is very expensive.

But, in our project we have a mannequin that changes their blendshapes only one time.
Is there a way to force the re-generation of the cloth by script, even if is expensive?

We are using Obi Cloth 5.3 on Unity 2019.3.3f1

Thanks in advance!

PD: Can I ask you the questions in spanish?

How can i increase fps for obi fluid?
Some android devices have a fps problem while i am using low settings

Hi Gentlemen,

I am using Obi Rope 5.4 Package for a hypercasual game on IOS with my team. This package is amazing but I am struggling with a couple of problems and I hope that you can help me.

1-) I need a really tense rope like rubber band with zero stretch. I saw on the forum if i increase substeps of the obi solver, it will gave me that but then it really effects the performance. Can you give me an example of constraints and proper substep count on solver, just to reach that tense rope structure that does not causes performance issues.

2-) Some of my ropes does not attach to target objects even though there is an attachment on them. Everything is the same with my ropes but sometimes they not attach.

I am really appreciated  about your help and time. 

Kind Regards

Hello,
 
Thanks for the latest release!
You've done an awesome job!

Played around with the latest release and stumbled on some errors with Jobs/Burst.

Should Burst Safety Checks be enabled or disabled?
( by default they are enabled )

Asking because if they are enabled - I get array index errors and everything breaks!
