I tried making particle groups for the hands and using Obi Particle Attachments, but that didn't seem to work. What I am hoping to do is have the softbody physics apply to the arms and be able to move the hands around freely. Is this possible with Obi Softbody?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there!
There's many ways to do this, I can think of at least three:
- Using particle groups + attachments.
- Setting the particle's inverse mass to zero and override their position (see: http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/manua...icles.html). This is basically what static attachments do internally, but you can also manage it manually.
- Using external forces (writing into the solver's externalForces array) to make particles spring towards a target position.
Attachments should work just fine, they are the simplest approach. Can you describe why they didn't work, and was you've tried with them so far?
