Will Obi Rope be suitable for our needs - Tset_Tsyung - 19-07-2020
Hi all,
Looking to get Obi Rope for our current training simulation, but need to know if it will be suitable for our needs first.
Currently running Unity 2020.1.0b10 (Needed the articulation bodies).
Our project consists of a crane system that runs on a track. It uses Articulation bodies for the track as well as the robotic arm attached to the crane. There is also a winch system to be used - it's this system we are considering Obi Rope for.
We need to be able to use the articulation bodies for the arm, and 'grabber' at the end of the arm [currently this is working
]. We also need the winch (with hook at the end) to be able to reel in and out, be able to be grabbed by the 'grabber' on the robotic arm for precise manipulation and then be able to have further objects attached to the end for it to fulfill it's purpose.Will Obi Rope be not only suitable for this need, but also be compatible with our current setup. Or are the articulation bodies and the Obi Rope systems completely incompatible with each other?
We're aware that some refactoring will be needed for the articulation bodies to be usable with the Obi Rope system.
Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all.
T.T.
