Examples for Mesh updating and Particles - NewCoder - 23-01-2023
Hello,
I have been searching about how to fix the mesh collider problem in my soft body project using Obi, and I faced with this question (Obi SoftBody with unity Mesh Collider and Mesh Filter (virtualmethodstudio.com)), which is somehow similar to mine.
I wanted to ask that is there any example, where I can learn and easily understand how I can get mesh and update its particles which will give me the result as mesh collider. My main purpose in this post is to understand how I can use the Mesh in the blueprint by code. 
Best regards,

Hi!
"Getting the mesh and updating its particles" are two entirely unrelated things, and neither will give you a MeshCollider as result.
The mesh deformed by a softbody at runtime is just a skinned mesh, so you can get it by using skinnedMeshRenderer.BakeMesh() like you normally would in Unity. You could then use this mesh as input for a MeshCollider component, if that's what you are looking for.
Not sure what you mean by "updating its particles". Particles are not part of the mesh, they're part of either a blueprint or a solver. The ones in the solver are updated every frame by the ObiSolver component to follow a physical simulation. Unless you want to add/remove particles or somehow drive their movement, size, mass or some other attribute in a custom way (which you do by using the particles API) there's no need to manually update them.

Getting the blueprint's mesh from code is pretty simple:
Code:
var mesh = blueprint.inputMesh;let me know if you need further help,
kind regards
