Just saw the preview for Obi 7 running on the compute backend, looks super impressive! :)
I have two questions though:
- Is this only going to improve performance for simulations with tens of thousands of particles, or is there also a benefit to use the compute backend for relatively low particle count and high quality simulations with high solver substeps / low fixed timestep?
- How much is it going to restrict scripting with particles? Can you still do things like selectively modifying particles touching a trigger collider or is that out of the question?
