I am trying to use OBI Rope in a VR environment but when I have multiple ropes in a view it tends to eat up the FPS pretty bad and makes it hard to keep the FPS above 90. With out the ropes active I can get up to 120fps but as soon as I add in 1 rope it goes down to about 95 FPS and each added rope continues to lower the FPS. I have about 10 ropes in the view total and when they are all active the frames will drop to 60-70 FPS. Any ideas on what I can do to improve the performance to not make the frames tank so much?

Hello,

I'm building a game for iOS and Android and I'm trying to integrate Obi Rope with it.

The progress was just great in the Editor but once I deployed a simple test to the Android device I noticed that all the Pin Constraints are being ignored when the scene started. I thought that there might be something wrong in my configuration so I went back and deployed the FreghtLift scene which is included in the Sample_Scenes (without any changes). But I also got the same result when I run it on the Android device. I've checked the value of ObiSolver.pinConstraintParameters.enabled at runtime on the device and it was true.

Please check out this recorded video for FreghtLift scene. The video shows how the platform falls immediately once the scene starts running on the Android device.

Any idea what is going on? is there any special configuration that I need to take it into my consideration before I deploy the game to Android or iOS device?


Many thanks,
Acacus

How do i tear the rope manually via script at one certain particle?

Will Obi Cloth work with a Morph3d characters, which seem to dominate the asset store.  Here is a post on the Morph3d thread anticipating Obi Cloth problems, and that they should collaborate with you.

Hello,

I am trying to drape the clothes on to the human mesh. Mesh collider and obi collider is added to the human body. obi cloth component is added to the garment. But the clothes has a minor collision and just passes through the body. Please refer the attachment if needed.

Thanks

Hi guys, looking to know how I should approach "pinching" cloth by two cube colliders coming together in a pinching motion. Tried jacking up the stickiness and friction but it stills slides out between the cubes.

Cheers

As I dig into the details I want to again thank you for such impressive work. I am fairly new to modeling (Maya) and have some questions about preparing Model/Clothes to work with Obi Cloth. I am creating my character with a trenchcoat from scratch (Using CharacterCloth manual as a guide). Forgive me in advance if the questions stray toward modeling.

-I assume I need to make a common rig for trenchcoat/character (Using Maya). This association of meshes to bones is what I believe causes Unity to add SkinnedMeshRenders in both meshes upon import (Obi requirement). Is this the correct approach to add cloths (i.e. Maya), as opposed to no skinning or Wrap Deformer tool.

-The CharacterCloth example has a separate skinned mesh for the character and trenchcoat. The unity characters for optimal performance manual page emphasizes that multiple skinned meshes is not desired. Is this a real issue that you just accept if you want clothing to move. I assume Unity Cloth has the same requirements.

-In your CharacterCloth example does it hurt performance to show parts of human mesh that are always covered by trenchcoat (ie. back)? Honestly I do not know how to correct this issue if it is a concern.

-Out of curiosity what exactly keeps the characters leg from going through the trenchcoat tails if he kicks backward. Is it Obi cloth simulation or is it inherent in the skinned mesh, because I assume the legs due not influence the trenchcoat. Really asking to get a better picture of how all the pieces work.

Hi! I love your work. Great stuff!

I have multiple characters, duplicates of the same prefab, in my scene with cloth and colliders, and get this message:
"ObiColliders used by ObiSolvers simulating in local space cannot be shared by multiple solvers.Please duplicate the collider if you want to use it in other solvers."

The solver is on the root of the character and the agents are childs to the solver, as soon as I have two in the scene I get this.
I don't want the colliders to be shared by different solvers, so can I ignore the message?

Everything seems to work as intended, should I just comment the warning out. Or is there a correct way to do something here that I don't understand?

Thank you!

Hi,
congratulations for the plugin, it seems really great!
I'd like to use it for an educational project I have, where we need to show children how blood circulation works inside our body.
We want to develop a quick game where children have to connect "pipes" and then switch on the pump (heart) to see how circulation works in the circuit they built.
Do you think I could do something like this using Obi Fluid? Any idea / suggestion on how to do it? I don't have gravity to work with, but pressure.
I'm also wondering how I could build the pipes (artery veins) to let the fluid flow into.

Thank you very much for any reply.
bye

Hi,
i was wondering of which relationship there is beetwen these 3 parameters,
i need to scale the emitter to a bottle but everytime i touch one parameter all my work perish because the liquid is totally fucked up, nothing works even if i do that on the faucet test scene.
The point is, i'm sure i'm doing something wrong i'm totaly new on unity, but how i can obtain the same result i have in the faucet test scene in a smaller scale?
