Hello,
We recently purchased the Obi Softbody plugin and we are strugling to make it work as we wanted, in our game the user decides the initial scale of the world before playing and everything in that world gets scaled at the start and then you play with that scale.

But the meshes that use softbody doesn't scale as intended, we have read several posts in the unity forums as in here and we got that apparently the way the obi works dynamic scaling is not mathematicaly possible or something like that, the scaling aspect of our game is something we cannot change and we really want to implement softbody physics for some mechanics is there anything we can do to make it work?

Also, we are quite not getting how attachments works as sometimes the mesh bounds get moved outside the camera and the objects don't get rendered, how we can constrain the simulation to stay on the object position but retaining the softbody behaviour? because when we tried to attach some points to the mesh or bones the simulation stop working.
Also, any considerations for the 3d artists, most of our models don't work as expected, in the examples the dragon mesh works flawless with only 3 clicks, but 80% of the models we have tried got mixed results from melting like behvaiour to partial parts of the mesh working as expected.

Thanks!

Hi, I was just wondering if there's any kind of ETA for full HDRP support for Obi Fluid 5? It would really help me get a timeline for a project I'm working on if I had an idea of when it might be released. I'm currently using Unity Version 2019.2.11f1 HDRP.

Thanks for all your hard work! Virtual Method Studio is awesome! Keep it up!

After trying to figure this out for 2 days now, I came to the conclusion, that i need some help from more experienced users. Since I'm a newbie to unity and obi. Just started with Unity this semester.

We're trying to accomplish to get a cylinder to collide with the cloth in way, so that you can see the cylinder and its edges pushing through the cloth, but not tearing it. Meanwhile the Cylinders Rotation on the X- and Z-axes is controlled by a devices accelerometer so the cylinder can tilt about 11 degrees in any direction. 

With the help of the tutorials I managed to set it up in a way that the cylinder and the cloth collide almost the way we wanted to (finer and sharper detail on the edges would be nice). 

The Problem appears when the cylinder tilts, at a certain point the cylinder starts clipping through the cloth. It seems to me like a minor problem, seeing the capabilities of obi cloth, but obviously my capabilities are limited. 

Can someone help me with setting up the cloth collision? 

It's for a university project which is due in 2 weeks so any quick help is appreciated immensely. 

I attached some Screenshots. One shows the design i want to accomplish, which i mocked up in PS. And the other screenshots show the unity project working and not working when tilted to the max.

Made a thread awhile back regarding this issue here.

I havent fully tested this workaround but since my current project has networking and players have "body parts" that are ropes it requires me to spawn them on player creation for those ropes to sync across the network. Once instantiated then I have to assign the "target" variable from the ropes ObiParticleAttachment component and found out if you assign the ropes game object position to where you want it then set the target variable attachment without it being under a solver (as a child) and then reparent it to the solver (so it can simulate) it keeps its position you assigned originally without it doing what you can see in the old thread.

Hello,
I am trying to have something like a metal sheet simulated by Obi softbody and I want to attach handles on both sides (left and right). Is it possible to achieve this? The behaviour I want is when pulling one handle the other handle should follow but if force is being applied to both handles then the sheet should bend. Imagine it like grabbing a metal sheet with both hands and then bending it around. Some tips would be much appreciated.

Hello,
every time i try to create a new ObiSoftbodyBlueprint surface or ObiSoftbodyBlueprint volume i get the following errors in my console:

Instance of ObiMeshBasedActorBlueprintEditor couldn't be created. The script class needs to derive from ScriptableObject and be placed in the Assets/Editor folder.
Instance of ObiMeshBasedActorBlueprintEditor couldn't be created. The script class needs to derive from ScriptableObject and be placed in the Assets/Editor folder.
UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

Therefore I am not able to use the editor for the blueprint as shown in the documentation (I can't even press 'Generate' for my mesh).

   
   

Hey there,

I bought the asset yesterday mainly due to the fact you can tear the cloth. I was wondering if you are able to make precise cuts (example; if you were to use a knife to cut a straight line) with the asset. If it is possible, could you point me in the right direction? Also is there documentation for this asset?

Thank you,
dy

Is there any way to avoid writing Obi data to the scene file? It's bloating my scene file and the Unity YAML merge tool cannot deal with the file across version control i.e.) it cannot resolve conflicts.

I have a rope that is connected to a GameObject with Handles, this GameObject moves with the camera motion, When moved the rope will separate from the GameObject and return to it after the motion has stopped.

Hello,

I'm having trouble with my Obi Fluid in that the collisions aren't working. I've applied an Obi Collider to the thing I want to hit and my Obi Fluid has collision enabled, but my particles are still going through the floor.

I'm not exactly sure what else I can add, any ideas?

Thanks if you can help!
