Cloth Physics to Trawler Net - jacobwoord - 31-05-2023
Hi there, im importing a trawlernet structure from a Json File. This file includes a start and end position for each element of the net. For now i created a cylinder for each element but this does not give the expected results and is not realy an efficient way to simulate. i was thinking for a way to generate a custom mesh or curved plane based on the vertices of the elements so that i can use Obi cloth on it. but im stuck on the the approach to achieve this.
My question is: can i modify or create a particle system for the cloth system based on the vertices of my imported Json file?
I attached some pictures of a part of the net.

Hi!
By default, cloth blueprints create one particle per vertex in its input mesh. If you create a Mesh object out of your JSON file, all you've got to do is feed this mesh to a ObiClothBlueprint and call its Generate() coroutine. (see: http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/manual/6.3/scriptingactors.html for details on how to create a blueprint at runtime).
kind regards,
