Moving structure - nnimar - 21-10-2020

I just came accross your assets on the Unity store. I'm trying to create a spider web onto which you can walk in VR (with a damping effect) and I wonder which one of your tools would be the best one to do so ?

Hi nimar,

Obi is a particle-based engine. For this reason, collision detection is approximated using particles. A flat, thin surface is the worst possible use case for this, since you'd need hundreds of thousands of particles for a reasonable approximation that can be walked on.

I'd stay away of particle based methods for this, and use a custom solution based on regular springs and a MeshCollider.
