Hi,

I'm investigating Obi Fluid as a way to create a solid/liquid system in my game.  Think melting a metal ingot and then having it re-solidify, possibly into multiple different pieces.
The property diffusion example in this video is pretty close to the effect I'm after (at 0:50s).


It seems like Obi can do the melting part easily, I'm just not sure about the re-solidification part.
Do you have any ideas on how one can use Obi can do this?

More specifically, I'm wondering if this kind of "permanent" fluid type system is supported by Obi e.g. like still water in a cup with "no particle lifetime" or a way to make it seem like there is no particle lifetime? 
Most videos focus on streams of fluids rather than still bodies. 
I'm after an effect where the player can smelt some discrete units of ore (e.g. 10 sphere rigid bodies) and they turn into a blobby melted mass which can be aggregated into one object (1 mesh with 10 times the volume of a single ore unit) and vice versa.

How can Obi emulate discrete objects in this way, i.e. preserving a physical quantity?

(sorry for the word vomit)

I try to add new particle groups by pressing Edit and clicking + button


Then I am directed back to this page with errors

However particle groups has been added 

Though I can add particle group, the editor keeps glitching and pull me out of the edit mode each time I add or remove particle groups.
Following are list of detailed errors I get



Please help me to use this asset. I love your guys work.

I had a few issues with Obi Softbody, because of the skinned mesh renderer:

You can see these unnatural seams (as if one surface was simply overlapped by another)

How to smooth out seams or bad deformations?

Hi,

I'm working on a project and planning to use Obi softbody but I'm not sure if I can achieve the ref below.

It's like a Ring mesh but probably composed of multiple meshes maybe about 8 arcs, but behave like a single one,

Purchased Obi Softbodies yesterday - using v6.0.1
Using Unity 2019.4.12f1

When I change the Obi Fixed Updater's substeps to anything other than 4, some subset of the softbodies in the scene will freeze when starting the scene.

With regard to this post http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/forum...d-490.html , I would like to know if it is possible to test if a specific part of the rope is tense , for example the part between 2 control points

Hi, 

I am having a weird issue with a rope connecting two objects. 

What I am trying to do:
I have a weighted balloon-like setup. One object is the weight, one the balloon. Both objects have a rigid body script and an attached script computes the buoyancy forces and adds the resulting forces in the update loop.
An undeformable rope should connect the two transferring the force of one to the other.

What I have tried:
Added a rope and connected the two ends to the objects with a dynamic particle attachment.

What is going wrong:
The forces acting on the system should only be up or down. A significant lateral force has appeared with the introduction of the dynamic attachment. The balloon seems now to be operating in a tornado.

Has a similar thing happened to anyone else? What other information should I share to make the problem clearer?

Hi, Can I do gyroscope to control the 2d fluid?   I cant figure out how to control the water by using gyroscope controller? is it impossible to do it?

Would it be possible to make a rope which is small in scale at one end and thick at another?

Alternatively, can i have a rope drive a chain of rigged joints on a character mesh?

Hey there,


i am trying to reproduce the CharacterCloth scene with my own character.


I have have a Skinned Mesh Character driven by an Animator (imported FBX).


I have a high resolution coat (green, ~30K vertices) and a low res one (gray, ~6K vertices). Both are skinned and weight painted to the bones of the character.


I successfully made the low res coat an OBI SkinnedCloth, made a blueprint, deleted the upper vertices since i want only the lower part to simulate and painted the skin radius for the lower part. I added capsule colliders to the leg bones. That works like a charm so far.


Now i want to transfer this simulation to the high res coat like in the CharacterCloth scene.


So i gave the high res coat also a OBI SkinnedCloth, chose the blueprint i made for the low res coat and added an Obi Cloth Proxy with the OBI SkinnedCloth Renderer and a triangle skin map like in the Proxy tutorial in youtube.


But nothing happens with the high res coat and i get the following error:
