Dynamic Bone - Realistic swaying ponytail and bouncing boobs

You can try this:
1. open project setting
2. select script execution order
3. add dynamic bone
4. move dynamic bone above default time.

 

We have been using your Dynamic Bone plugin in our projects and are overall pleased with how it works.
However, we are having some performance issues on lower-spec devices, and were wondering if it's possible to perform the physics calculations to a different thread, or perhaps optimize it by making use of the burst compiler and/or ECS.

If it's not currently possible to do so, we would like to attempt to implement this ourselves - so if you have any pointers, or any suggestions etc. please let me know.

Kind regards,
James

 

Dynamic Bone already use threads to do some of the simulation.
DOTS not used now.

 

Thank you for confirming. We have upgraded to the latest version and can confirm that performance has improved.

 

has any one tried to set up dynamic bone on iclone 4 characters yet ?
(don't have time to read 11 pages of post right now lol)

some of the settings don't seem to do much, I don't notice any difference when changing any of the disrupt perimeters

 

iclone4 characters should be ok.
what parameters you change?

 

its good now

 

Hello!

I wanted to know if Dynamic Bone works on Sprite Skeleton Rigs.
It doesn't appear to do anything or respond at all, so I feel I'm out of luck.

Tried setting up execution order and stuff but the bones do nothing. Animator is disabled, No IK active. Still the bones do nothing.

Frustrating because they are just transforms...

 

Hi,
Select Edit->Project Settings->Script Execution Order.
Add Dynamic Bone and move it before "Default Time".
If it still not work. Please send a test Unity project to willhongcom@gmail.com

 

would this be a consideration for an update sometime in the future?

 

Hello. Is it possible to use Dynamic Bone to make skirt movement look realistic?

 

Yes,
you need to add bones to skirt meshes.
but collisions with legs are hard to handle well.

 

Hi, I'm using Dynamic Bone for my character's scarf. It behaves as expected most of the time, but for some reason, certain animations cause it to seemingly ignore the -0.1 gravity I'm applying in settings. It's the same settings in both cases, so I'm not sure why this is happening.

 

You can try use "Force" instead of "Gravity".
Because gravity apply to character's initial pose is cancelled out.

 

This seems to have fixed it, thanks!

 

hi, i want to ask how i can completely ignore, on some bones the velocity force, i think is that the name, and let it only react on the in place walking animation even when the character is moving. and maybe let it work again after a velocity threshold...

 

You can try increase "Inert" parameter.

 

mmm no, tried it... no the inert parameter is not really working, the in place walking animation and when it moves is clearly different...

I'll look at it.

 

i sended you an unity scene, some day ago. thank

 

Hi so this plugin is great! One problem I'm facing though is that I can't seem to have the script rotate one of the joints. It's only moving it's position value, not the rotation. Is that meant to be the case? I have a neck joint that should rotate so the head whips back and forth, but it's just moving the position. Rotation isn't changing at all.

 

If the joint has more than one children, It will only move without rotate.
You can try add some of the children to "Exclusions" list, leave only one child of neck joint.
Neck joint should rotate as expected.

 

Oh interesting. So what do you recommend I do if my joint setup is like this:

 

You can try add all nodes except "Head" to "Exclusions" list.

 

If I do that then those other excluded meshes don't move with the head. So the face clips through the head mesh, etc

 

Please send a test unity project to willhongcom@gmail.com.
I'll found out is there any solution.
