Trying to fix the object

[josemendez]

I'm currently trying to fix the obi softbody object. I want it only occurs deformation rather than transformation on the object. I can't find a good way, how can I do this?

Hi,

This problem isn’t well defined: the shape of a deformable object cannot be determined using an affine transform. Transforms only make sense for rigid objects.

Think about it this way: if the softbody deforms a lot (for instance, a straight bar bends into a circle), is this purely deformation or is it also translation/rotation? If so, how much of it is translation, how much rotation, and how much deformation?
When determining translation/rotation, what point do you consider to be the center of the object? Its center of mass? The average of all points in it? Some arbitrary point?

There’s no clear answer to any of this, so you must be a lot more specific regarding what “deform” and “transform” mean in your specific use case.

Kind regards,
