Stable Cosserat Rods - Qriva0 - 27-07-2026
Hi! Are there plans to improve certain simulation aspects using findings from this article (Stable Cosserat Rods Siggraph 2025)?

Hi!
Stable cosserat rods require the underlying engine to use (A)VBD instead of (X)PBD, this is an engine-wide paradigm change. We've already considered using AVBD in the past and have a development Obi version that uses it for some constraints, but AVBD has some issues compared to XPBD that prevent us from fully embracing it - namely, parameter tuning isn't nearly as intuitive or robust as in XPBD.

Great presentation!
Quite sad there are so many issiues, especially V-shape cloth behaviour, but well...
Thanks, have a great day!
