Volume constraint and softbody? - kodra - 11-04-2024

The volume constraint's document is a little bit of confusing to me:


Quote:Volume constraints can be used to simulate some sort of softbody physics, though they are not suitable for very stiff softbodies. Volume constraints are better suited for very soft, blobby bodies like a partially deflated beach ball and, in the case of cloth, they require the cloth mesh to be closed (that is, no holes on it).


It says "in the case of cloth...", but as far as I know only ObiCloth supports volume constraints? Or ObiSoftbody can use volume constraints too and I just missed it?

Hi!

Currently only cloth uses volume constraints.

However you can add constraints yourself to any actor (or even create new actor types) programmatically, hence the "in the case of cloth".

kind regards,
