Hinge Joints Alternative?

[josemendez]

thanks for the reply @StudioTatsu i seem to be invisible to @josemendez

i moved from Truss Physics because thats abandoned, unstable, has performance issues and no source code.
this seemed a way forward, hope future updates solves the lag, includes a way to connect 2 softbodies by selected particles and adding a force to a particle could also be useful.

could i ask how you connected particles?

thanks again

Hi there!

Currently there's no easy way to connect particles from different soft bodies manually, working on it for upcoming updates. Adding external forces to particles is quite easy though. Either set their velocity directly:

Code:

softbody.Solver.velocities[softbody.particleIndices[index]] = <your velocity>

(remember that f = ma, and a = dv/dt)

Or, use forces directly:

Code:

softbody.Solver.externalForces[softbody.particleIndices[index]] = <your force>
