Moving cloth with colliders - Ravenshadow - 25-03-2018
Hello! I've started using Obi for cloth and its great. I have a quick question though.
I have some drapes set up to blow in front of spooky windows and I want to add the ability for the user to pull them aside with his hand (in VR).
Can someone point me in the right direction for that? I can't seem to figure out how to get colliders to move cloth.

Welcome Ravenshadow!
You just need to:
- add a ObiCollider component to your regular collider.
- make sure its layer is checked for collisions by the solver (the "Default" layer is, by default)
- make sure its "phase" value is different from the ones of the cloth particles.

Worked like a charm! Thank you very much.
One more question, not sure if it's possible with Obi cloth but I thought I'd ask.
I have a scene with a skeleton under the covers of a bed and I'd like the player to be able to grab the covers and pull them down to reveal the skeleton. I can think of a couple complicated bone systems to do it, but is there an Obi Cloth way to do it?
Maybe a particle attractor or something? I realize Obi might not have a way to solve this but the sim makes everything look so cool I'd like to keep the solution in Obi if possible.

Ok, so I figured it out in case anyone is looking for this. Use Handles: http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutorials/attachments.html
and fiddle with the Obi Skin Constraints (I set Stiffness to 0 to get what I wanted).

Nice
That is exactly what I needed as well. Well, I would have liked to add more than handles, it could have been cool to have been able to make the whole rope or cloth grabable, but that would probably cause a lot of problems.
