Help Does both Obi Cloth and ObiRobe are needed to make a football net?

Hi there,

You don't need both assets, you could get the job done with ObiCloth only. The tensor cables could be done using simple spring joints and a line renderer, both are built-in in Unity.

While you don't need to be a programmer to use Obi, you do need to have a pretty solid foundation on physics simulation, 3D rendering and some basic vector algebra to use it effectively. It's certainly not an easy way to get started with these topics.

Performance should not be a concern, as the scene you describe is pretty simple. Let me know if you need anything, I'll be more than glad to help . cheers!

Ahh, I see that I got the use of the Obi Rope wrong, I thought that the net was literally build using small ropes or something like that, not that was just used as tensors. Thinking well, a net properly build like a real one with collisions would require a ridiculous amount of processing, my bad.

Well, comparing to my skills on the subjects you quoted, I'm a hell of a programmer lol. But I'm trying to improve my math and physics related to gamedev, cause build a football game already relies on these 2 (my dream is to build a complete football game, but I'm far of that level I'm afraid). Not much choice here, I don't believe there's a better solution than Obi for this case, the alternative is try to build a good net system myself, which I already tried and failed.

What about the ball X net collision considering the specifications from the previous message? Is there no risk the ball to pass through the net with the mentioned speeds?

Another doubt came up, how easier is to build this system with Obi compared to keep trying to build it myself? Asking this cause a friend of mine already suggested to go through this physics simulation path to make this system. His suggestion was to use the built-in cloth component and build/find an equation to predict when and where the ball will collide with the net, adding the respective physical reaction to both ball and net accordingly. While his theory is clear to me, in practice, things are really hard to come up with. I just want to know how much Obi will put me (or doesn't) in the same, miserable, direction lol...
