Softbody and bones ? 2004-04-10 - By Ben Kilgore
Back
On the original question, I forgot to mention:
The main problem I encountered with this is that you can only run one
softbody sim properly per mesh, because in order for it to work, the mesh
has to be a child of the bony you want the simulation to reference for
inetrial data. XSI doesn't care if you run more than one simulation, but
the mesh can't be a child of more than one deformer, so you can't use this
technique to have a skin that has a jiggly butt AND a jiggly neck.
Also I tried combining this with cage deforms derived from the character
mesh (so I could run more than one simulation), but it got fantastically
heavy in a heartbeat, so I abandoned that route.
Worth trying instead is running the simulation on a hidden, fairly light
object per bone, and constraining objects to clusters in those objects, then
weighting your mesh to the constrained objects. Not true soft bodies on
your mesh, but it's quick, it works, and it uses a decent physical model at
its core (unlike soft constraints).
