Do cloth, fluid, rope and softbody react to each other or only rigid bodies?

[josemendez]

Hi everyone!

I'm really impressed by all the videos, but there are only examples of e.g. cloth or fluid having a two-way reaction to rigid bodies.

Can fluid also be poured onto a cloth object? Can rope be tied around a softbody? Et cetera...

And can all four systems be used on skinned meshes?

I'm reading it's a "unified framework" and the FAQ states "it is still possible to use all assets together if you own them all", but I'm unsure because no videos show the actual interactions between the four systems.

I hope that is possible, thank you for the feedback in advance!

Hi there,

Yes, all actors can interact with each other. At the end of the day everything is made out of particles, and particles collide with each other.

And can all four systems be used on skinned meshes?

It depends on what you mean by "used". Cloth can be skinned (that's the way character cloth is done), and softbodies/ropes can be driven by bones, However direct collision with skinned meshes is not supported by any of the 4 assets, as collision with deformable meshes is extremely costly.
