Hinge Joints Alternative?

[Pheebau]

Thanks for your reply which was helpful. I totally missed the Obi.ObiStitcher Class! My project requires quite a few hinges per model - therefore I was looking for a solution that would not be too empirical. I guess it is time to go and do some testing with it.

I haven't found the stitcher being used as part of the examples / tutorials but maybe in a different Obi product?

If there isn't a way to restrict certain axis, then it's going to be hard to come close to emulate a hinge.

Unfortunately my tests with ObiStitcher in trying to emulate some hinge of some sort have been underwhelming to say the least but I am not surprised as it was never made for this.

Even as a simple test, take the Barrels deformation demo scene and try and stitch 2 barrels together - no mater how I define the stich(es), the barrel will move and travel together without me even doing anything - similar to the dancing effect you can sometimes get with soft bodies in a scene 

Also, I believe the only way to break a stitch is to disable it via the API. In my project, I need hinges to rotate on a single axis and break potentially - this is a physics game with soft bodies.

@josemendez Any recommendations / simulation config settings on making 2 soft bodies stitched together more still and not flickering / dancing?

@josemendez Last, how hard would it be to implement some hinge in Obi?
