I'm wondering if there is a way to change how joints influence a skeletal softbody at runtime. Normally, animation on the joints influences the softbody, but could it be switched so the softbody simulation moves the joints as if they were particles? Could this switching be done for specific joints at runtime or perhaps the root joint so the entire skeleton follows the softbody's movement? Basically, I'm trying to implement a way to switch a skeletal softbody back and forth from an animation-driven state to a physics-driven rag doll state. Any thoughts you have on this would be appreciated!

Hi!
Sorry, Im not really sure how to explain my problem I encountered. I also tried to search and read some thread forums, learn asset use-examples and read documentation, but it does not helped to me

I reproduced obi softbody setup on sphere primitive as in video tutorial and it works okay. All demo-examples included in asset also works correctly, but no any luck with exactly my low-poly model. This is the case when better to see once than 100 times to hear, so make look at my attachement.

I attached sample scene here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C3p_d8p...sp=sharing

Please, edit this and send back to me, also explain what wrong with my setup.

Thanks. Regards.

This is a bottle with the builtin rp standard shader set to transparent mode with some fluid inside of it and another drop of fluid in front of it. While the fluid inside the bottle looks alright, the drop in front of it pretty much removes any opacity from the transparent material behind it, which is especially noticeably in the outer region of the drop that is not colorized.

Is there some way to fix this or is this a hard limitation of the shader?

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to disable rod twisting ?
Indeed, I'm interesting by some features of Obi Rod. 

I've read in the documentation that the Obi Rope don't contains twisting property.

Is changing my Obi Rod to Obi Rope my only solution?
Or is there an option to disable the twisting feature of a rod?

I am mainly interested in the "stiffness/resistance" that the rod offers.
I find the rope far too sensitive and flexible.
The aim is to create a kind of garden hose, which therefore has resistance.
I hope to make myself understood ^^

So, My last proposal / question : Is it possible to make a rope less flexible? To make it more rigid, so that the curve can make an inverted "U"?


Thanks in advance.

PS : I am not English, so sorry for my broken English

Hello,

I would like to see a demo of Obi soft body asset of some cars (using rigid body and wheel colliders for controlling the car as well as Obi for simulating of car parts damaging).

it would be great if the author shares a youtube video of such a demo at a very least.
we want to make sure if first of all it is possible and second if it performs well.

thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have recently bought obirope. It's looks so amazing. I will be using obirope in my next game project. 

I want to apply pulling car mechanics with rope in my game. May I get little guide or suggestion before I start to implement it?

Thanks

I'm trying to make an eyedropper that emits single particles when pressed, like real drops of water coming out of it. This doesn't work very well however, because at the resolution that I need the fluid to be the individual drops are completely invisible due to being rendered so tiny. Once two or three of them bunch up they suddenly become visible, though just barely as a small spastic dot. If you add a few more they jump to their final size they would appear as in a body of fluid.

Even if I could reduce the fluid resolution, there would still be a problem because the jumps in size are so large. Reducing it from 100 to a point where I have properly sized single particles at 5 will cause a horrific event to happen as soon as a few particles bunch to cross the threshold where the particles are rendered at their proper size, since the jump in scale becomes more apparent with decreasing fluid resolution. The fluid basically turns from something that looks like two or three drops to a huge ball of fluid ten times the size in an instant as soon as you add another particle.

Is there some way to reduce or completely disable this scaling effect or are single particles just not an option? I couldn't find anything in the fluid renderer settings that affects it.

Hi,

From some point tons of warnings appeared after build on Android.
   

Hey guys,

I am looking at the document for Scripting Particles:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/manua...icles.html

From the look of it, seems like they are actual class objects, but I can't seem to find for example, if I know the index of a particle in an actor, how can I retrieve that particle object.

So maybe this "scripting particle" is just an arbitrary thing that exists in the form of all the arrays of data about it?

Additional question, when I inspect solver.orientations array, it seems that all the values are (0, 0, 0, 1), no matter how I'm moving my ObiCloth in the scene. Which makes me a bit confused...

Hello,

     I had a quick question regarding the 'atmospheric drag' parameter in the emitter blueprints. Since this is just one editable parameter, what exactly does the variable represent? Is it the drag coefficient? Density? Surface area? Or does it represent the actual drag force – and if so, is it dependent on velocity squared? I would like to create a relatively accurate simulation through the air, and drag is a rather large factor in that.

Thanks in advance!
