Interactive Bones

Unity Engine
1

Hi…

First post here as I am new to Unity.
I did a quick search in the forum and did not find what I was looking for.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to fake interactive soft body objects by having bones in a model that the user can interact with and move in the game? For example having a bone at each end of a cylinder and the user can pull the bones at each end to make the cylinder longer.

Thanks…

Yes that is definitely possible. You have to set the bone’s position in late update otherwise it will be overridden by regular animation.

Unity3 also has a thing for skinned mesh cloth, which should do what you want in a much better way. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get it to work right.
