Hey,

I had a question about obi cloth. Is it possible to use it on a character and mask out parts of the character like the head/stomach and have the physics applied to that only?

I briefly saw an example of character meshes with cloth applied to them in the demo vid, but did not see anything like that in the tutorials. I saw the ogre vid for obi softbody but I didn't quite see the effect I was looking for.

I considered obi softbody, but I read it can't do certain physics things like self-collision/double-sided that obi-cloth can do which is why I chose the obi cloth instead. 
Correct me if I'm wrong- but it looks like obi softbody is more of a wiggle/jiggle with a "return to original shape". Some kind of radial vertex offset from what I can see.

What I'm trying to achieve is more of a "ripple" like a baseball hitting a round jelly surface and the force ripples throughout the form. The force ripples from the origin and terminates at the outer edges. The shape would always return to the original, but there would be that ripple factor. And you could control the "firmness" or "impact" of the physics on the object.

It seemed like obi-cloth achieved that more closely, since cloth tends to have that ripple effect (from all the physics simulations I've seen involving cloth). Softbody in general seems to be more "firm/bouncy" and almost like a "spring" rather than some kind of "jelly". I could be wrong though, it's just what I've seen/tested so far.
 
To re-iterate what I'm looking for: 
> Has outward ripple effect on impact (from collision of some kind)
> Can control "firmness", "amplitude/offset", "motion multiplier" etc
> Always returns to original form

Any ideas on how to achieve this masked physics effect, and if obi-cloth supports the ripple on characters? 
Or if I should use obi softbody instead- if that more closely resembles what I'm trying to achieve?

Thanks,

Hello
I am currently trying to update a project to Unity 2022.3.25 (from 2021.3.27). The current version of Obi Rope I'm using is the 6.3. 




Updating to Unity 2022 and keeping that version of Obi Rope leads to serious lags when increasing the number of ropes (already unplayable at less than 10). For this problem, I didn't really bother looking for a solution because updating to the latest (6.5.4 at the time I write this) solves it.


The problem is, thousands of errors pop up in the console after updating, and the rope behavior is clearly broken (at least visually).

Hi

As the title says, I am using Unity6000 0.5f1.
I imported Obi Fluid and followed the manual, but in every sample the fluid turns black and I keep getting warnings.

Based on troubleshooting, URP15/16 patches have already been applied.
I converted the material for URP and set the RendererFeature as instructed on the setup page.

Unity 6000 (URP 17) is not yet supported ?

Hello,
I happen to be in the middle of a VR hackathon and I've been tasked with developing a stretchy arm for our first person player.   I would like to apply custom hands and forearm to the player skeleton and add the ability that when they grab something, they can outstretch their arms like "elastic man" to position the object far away from them.  It also would be nice if I could a apply a bit of curve and flexibily to the arm.  But the hand should still be able to have it's basic vR functions untinterrupted.

I mostly use Obi rope for cable and rope simulations but it occurred to me that I could try the stretch + Bone components in my scenario.    I would just need to know for sure if it's realistic thinking that I can access the stretch distance parameters via thumbstick controller if I wanted.

I would appreciate any tips or ideas in this direction while I continue trying to hack it out based on documentation.  
Thanks much

Here's a reference I found of someone with a different type of mechanic using stretchy arms...  I wish to make something that is more slow and controlled.

Hey,

The documentation for cloth proxies says that they should be usable with either skinned cloths or normal cloths, however from looking at the code it seems like it's being driven from the MeshFilter component, which isn't a requirement of the SkinnedMeshRenderer.

is there an alternative?

Edit: Additionally, this cloth solution doesn't have a clear way of how to manage LODGroups. The results seem to be that any cloth will always be visible, breaking the lodgroup

Hi! 

As shown in the figure below, I try to use two soft bodies to grab a rigid body. For example, a claw machine.I expect the grabbing process to be achieved through friction.

Any guide or example on making a rope that works like a helicopter hook, ie bit like the jungle strike games.. where the end of the hook can latch onto gameobjects to pick them and swing them, but also hoist them up so the rope length would get shorter?

is this something simple that can be done with obi rope?

Hi,

I've a rope around 1 unit long, it's attached to a rod by the first and last particle with 2 static particle attachments.
On this rope there is cursor, depending on an object position (a VR controller) the cursor will either have the cursor at 0 or 1 (source always at .5) . Imagine you are pulling a rope either from the start or end.
So this rope can get bigger if you pull, everything works fine here.
Now when pulling I want to attach the closest particle from the controller to it. I'm getting the closest particle (avoiding the first and last) and create the attachment using this script:

Hello,there is something wrong with shadows on fluids,
i will share 2 screenshot one for with shadow, one without shadow

in shadow it looks weird,i need to disable shadows for fluid particles!

Hi!

I want to simulate human soft tissues through the ObiSoftbody toolkit.
I have two questions, both of which do not consider plastic deformation, but only elastic deformation:
① How to modify the elastic deformation effect of the soft body. For example, the elasticity of fat is different from that of muscle. I modified the Shape Matching Constraints in the test, but the effect does not seem to meet expectations.
② I want to simulate the elasticity value of each soft tissue, so I am considering obtaining the deformation of each particle through the API for calculation. Is my idea correct?

Thank you for your attention, I really want to know how to do my work, thank you.
