softbody simulation #428

Closed nnWhisperer closed 7 months ago

nnWhisperer commented 7 months ago

Hello, I'd like to make simulations of softbodies. Brax is suitable for rigidbody simulation. As far as I see, Mujoco supports soft bodies too. The link says "...to model ropes, cloth, and deformable 3D objects." So, as far as I understood in #409 , in the future when mjx becomes the default pipeline, Brax will be able to work even with softbodies, right? Thank you

Hi @nnWhisperer , to see a list of features slated for MuJoCo-MJX and parity with MuJoCo, see here. They are not 1:1 with MuJoCo; I don't expect soft-bodies in MJX/brax to be supported soon
