I have some functionality that shows up differently in Obi6 than in 5 and I am just curious about what is happening.

I have 2 projects both different versions of unity and Obi versions but have the same functionality - applying force to the end of rope particle to follow a line.

Obi5 Unity 2019 - works great:


Obi6 Unity 2021 - jitter but works similarly like Obi5 when changing the point's mass to 0.25:


Both scripts are the same and both are using the default settings for a blueprint (minus a couple of extra control points) however, in Obi6 the output force's magnitude is sustainably higher to achieve the same destination and it causes the jitter you see in the gif. This stops when I increase the mass per control point for the Obi6 blueprint to 0.25. 

I was wondering why does this happen and what was the major factor that changed?

I messaged you the simple demo projects if you have the time to check them out.

Unity must have changed something that made it incompatible with Obi in 2021.2.17f1 that unfortunately made it into the 2021.3 LTS version, which I really would like to use.

The editor is unusable as soon as you import Obi Fluid into the project, everything slows down to a crawl. Going into play mode in any of the sample scene will result in around 5-10 FPS, and even just navigating the scene view outside of play mod is unusably slow.



This affects the entire project, not just the scenes that have Obi components in them. The problem is the exact same even in a completely new, empty scene in a project that has Obi Fluid imported.



There are no errors being reported in the console, so I'm not sure what is actually going on. But it's definitely Obi that is causing the problem, I tried it multiple times on completely blank projects and each one of them became unusable immediately after importing Obi. I also tried saying yes and no the the script upgrade prompt, it does not make a difference. Closing the project in this state will also crash the editor pretty much every time, here is the log in case that helps:

Howdy! First, let me say I'm a newbie and love your asset! I have few questions on Obi Rope, pls view the video link attached to better understand what I'm trying to accomplish:
The main use of rope is to pull and drag to tangle the rope between cylinders. Here are the questions:

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Qg3fuCsBE

1. As you can see from the video, when I pull and extend the rope, it wiggles (moves left and right) a lot. What I want is when you pull and drag the rope, it should be a stable extension. I'm using Obi Rope Cursor component to extend the rope. If there are any better solution to extend the rope very stably, pls let me know.
(here's the code how I extend the rope: cursor.ChangeLength(rope.CalculateLength() * 0.9f))

2. At the end of the video, you can see that the rope goes through the cylinder, I understand it happens because of performance issues, but I just wanted to know if there are any better solution not to get the rope pass through cylinders.

I bought this asset only few days ago so I'm sure I'm missing some optimal solution to get the result I want.

Best,

Hi can fluxi create liquid paintings like this

If so do you have a viscosity dampener to simulate real life control?

I spent like an hour waiting haha

Hi All,

Just grabbed Obi Rope and played around with some tutorials and overall got a feel for it.  This tool is amazing.  Definitely worth the purchase, and I will be leaving a review shortly once I get more comfortable with it.

I am trying to implement a fishing pole; to be specific, the fishing line on a fishing pole and casting it out, with the option of reeling it in.  To begin, I'm focusing first on being able to cast it out.  I've created a pole and attached a rope to the pole, and a bobber (just a Unity sphere) to the end of it and added a Rigidbody component to it. My idea is to eventually have an animation play for the player slowly bringing back the rod to then release it forward and cast out.

Currently my fishing system is set up without any animations, but it works by applying a force to the bobber's rigidbody, depending on how long the player holds the button to essentially wind-up a cast.  As it is now, when the player let's go of the cast button the following code is triggered:

Hello

I try to use last ObiSoftbody version (6.4) on unity 2021.2.11, there is no error on console but the mesh deformation is bad on the sample RubberDragon.
Tested in Burst mode and in Oni, same thing.
Tested in BuitIn RP and Hdrp, same thing.
Tested on Unity 2021.3.0 (LTS), same thing
BUT, tested on Unity 2020.3.23, and here it works properly !! - But my project is on 2021....
A solution ?

Thanks
Laurent

It appears that currently there isn't any support for the URP's '2D Renderer'.
Is this planned in a future update and if so is there a timeframe for when it is likely? (possibly with Obi 7?)

Hi, we are trying to make a simulation in Unity similar to this video.

So, what we need is:

• Inflate and deflate the balloons
  
• Different meshes than spheres
  
• Collisions between the cloth meshes
  
• Compress the cloth meshes with the container (or some sort of colliders)
  

I have difficulty in matching the softbody to the skinned mesh model when the mesh's position and rotation is not in zero. Here is my situation:

I created a softbody blueprint with the skeleton. 
   

Back to the scene, the skeleton is matching the model, but the mesh is rotated 90 degrees.
   

When i move the leg joint, only the skeleton and mesh will move accordingly, the softbody remains the same.
   

As the "_body_summer" object rotation is -90, so i rotated 270 when doing the blueprint.
   

Back to the scene, now both skeleton and softbody match with the model. However, when i move the leg joint, the softbody still no response.
   

The upper case is only having the rotation issue, but i had another model that the mesh is in different position and the softbody will shifted. But in the blueprint inspector, i can't adjust the mesh position. Therefore, is that i have to change the mesh position to zero?
