Combine soft FleX body with kinematic tree consisting of capsules with defined mass #72

Open henryclever opened 5 years ago

henryclever commented 5 years ago

I would like to combine a character (e.g. arms /legs) that has a predefined kinematic structure consisting of collision geometries, such as capsules, with FleX. For example, what happens when a non-moving character is perturbed by a bunch of particles? How would the arm angles on the character change? Can I somehow integrate FleX with a different engine to do this? It seems that the collision geometries in Flex are massless, so I don't think it would work in just the Flex environment.

Welcoming any input on this, including if I am making any wrong assumptions in my question.

Thanks! Henry C.

It looks like the spinners in the following video (2:20) are collision geometries that are perturbed in this way. Could someone confirm that? Or is the user just manually turning on the spinners to look like they are being perturbed?
