How to Use it for Android? - MikhailVasilev - 18-04-2021

How to Use it for Android?

Just bought the plugin but it works only in Unity Editor

I tied to make a build for Android and PC and it gives me a bunch of errors out of the box!

How to make a build for Android with Obi SoftBody guys?
I'm new but already know some programming and unity things, and I suppose it should build out of the box, I even installed these Burst, Jobs and friends but it still gives me a lot of errors!
----
Specs:
Win10 64 bit
Unity 2020.1.0f1 Personal
No extra packages and plugins
Everything is default
I try to compile Example scenes and my scene(put it in Build Settings)
----

Here are some of Errors     vvv
Code:

Found how to Fix it!!!

I just put Obi folder to Editor folder

Editor folder is the Default project folder! Those small things you need to know ))
Now so far so good, everything works pretty well on mobile.

so many other bags so far!
This plugin is not that user friendly at all
Mostly for advanced users

Hi!

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. I see that you solved the Android issue, have you found any other problem we can help you with?

Quote:This plugin is not that user friendly at all

Softbody simulation is a quite advanced topic in general, and Obi is targeted at intermediate/advanced users. So yes, this is mostly for advanced users and advertised as such. From our  FAQ:

http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/faq.html

Quote:Is Obi easy to use for a complete beginner?

It depends on what your goals are. If you want to make something more complex than a simple flag or a water faucet, most likely the answer is no. Obi is a powerful, large and complex system. If it makes sense for a particular parameter to be exposed to the user, Obi does expose it. No compromises were made in its design to trade flexibility for ease of use. A considerable amount of effort was put into making it 'as simple as possible, but not simpler'.

Throughout the manual, API documentation and engine design, basic 3D math/simulation concepts (like vector spaces, inertial forces, mass or fixed timestepping) aren't explained in detail. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with these before attempting to use Obi in a real-world project.

The good news is that if you devote enough time to it, it will pay off. Also it will help you grasp a lot of essential simulation concepts that can be easily transferred to other physics simulators. You'll wonder why these other simulators impose so many artificial limits on what you can do with them.

Is scripting / coding required to use Obi?

For anything except the bare basics, yes. Obi is written in HPCS (high performance C#) and C++11, and it exposes a C# API. Obi deals with hundreds of particles and thousands of constraints every frame. These are exposed to you, the user, so learning how to write performant code is a prerequisite

it works for me now
spent some time figuring things out...

Thanks for your support! I've made 5-star review : )

Hi Mikhail,

Thanks for the review, that really helps me Sonrisa 
I've heard your request for more video tutorials, so that's exactly what I'll spent my time doing the following weeks.
