ObiPathSmoother needd for chain renderer - lacasrac - 02-10-2023

Hello,

I use a lot of obiPathSmoother.GetSectionAt(T).position
But how can I use it with a chainrenderer? As I saw there is no ObiPathSmoother..

Thanks

Hi!

Chains aren't smoothed because links in a chain are completely rigid.

You can use rope.GetElementAt(float mu, out elementMu) to retrieve an element at a normalized point in the rope, just like you do with GetSectionAt. You use it like this:

Code:
var elm = rope.GetElementAt(0.5f, out float elementMu);
var position = Vector3.Lerp(rope.solver.positions[elm.particle1], rope.solver.positions[elm.particle2], elementMu);

kind regards,
