Dynamic Bone - Realistic swaying ponytail and bouncing boobs

Hi,
you can try attach dynamic bone script in character's root gameobject, instead of the bone you want to have physics.
then set "Root" to the bone have physics.

Quick question. Just to know, do you have a recommended bone count as a reference?

In my game, there won't be many huge graphical prowess, but I *do* want things like lots of physics, etc. Around how many bones can I safely simulate in total for an average machine, in your opinion?

Also, Colliders. I want to keep the hair from clipping into the body. Do I use Unity's default colliders (capsule, box, sphere) or do I have to use DynamicBoneCollider?

 

Hi,
Dynamic Bone use it's own collider.
performance depend on a lot of situation.
It's best to test on your target platform.

 

Hi,
dynamic bone blend physics simulation with existing animation.
you can use script function SetWeight() to control how it blend or simply disable it.

 

Is it possible to add chain of bones to NON skinned object using this asset? Or do I have to use other 3D software to add bones first?

 

Hi,
actually dynamic bone apply physics to any gameobject hierarchy. It don't care is mesh skinned.
but if there is only one gameobject and mesh. it won't work.

 

Having an issue; I need to move the dynamic bone root joint position in runtime, however I can't seem to find the way to do it. Disabling->moving xyz with code and enabling just snaps the root joint back to the original position. Deleting the dynamic bone and assigning a new one in runtime ignores the physics completely unless I dial something from the inspector. Any help appriciated!

 

try to change the weight of the dynamic bone. Set_Weight(x) I think it is.

 

Ok, answering to myself; anyone else trying to do this requires one modification to the dynamic bone script; make the SetupParticles() public and call it after you've moved your joints.

Hi. looking at your demo scene, if I increase the "Radius" to allow for collisions I get colliders at the base, breast, and the end of the white line. Is there a way to only have the collider on the breast (bone) instead of all three? Thanks.

 

It's called the radius distrib, make a curve.

 

Does Dynamic Bone work with dynamic rigidbodies?

Spoiler: video

I have an antenna attached to a car and the antenna is setup with bones. The simulation works but once the rigidbody speed is above a certain amount, Dynamic Bone starts to jitter. Any reason for this?

 

Hi, interested in this asset, can you advise if this might make hair look wavy/sway around if the head moves? Does it need bones? Is there a tutorial video/docs I can review? Thanks.

 

Hello , is it possible to collide with Dynamic bone colliders with another object ?

And how should it be setup if possible ?

 

Give your character the dynamic bone collider component!

 

Hi,Is there a plan to support Unity Job System?

 

So I'm having a little problem with animations and the DynamicBones. So, here's the thing. When I use static animations, with no root motions, the bones behave correctly. When I want to make an animation where the character moves around, the bones are very janky, looks like they're always updating. Here, take a look at these:

This is the problem video:

This is how it's working with a static animation:

Any ideas what can I do to fix this?

 

you can try increase "inert" parameter

 

dynamic bone simulate physics on bones. there should be bones in hair before use it.

 

It's in future plan.

 

try increase "inert" parameter.

 

Hi, just a question, interested in purchasing but have a question: Can your asset assign bones/joint automatically, or must the mesh/model already have those for it to work? If not, is there way to do it? Thanks in advance.

 

You need to add bones in 3d software before use dynamic bone.

 

Hey! I need a sort of effect like in Human Fall Flat Game, can I achieve it with this asset?

 

Hi, dynamic bone is good to do secondary animation, like hair and clothes.
It may need other physics solution to achive Human Faill game.
you can mail to willhongcom@gmail.com to request evaluation version.

 

Is there a way to exclude a mesh from being effected by dynamic bone? Because I just need this to effect my character cloth but it changes all character body.

 

Hi, you need set "root" to bone you want to effected by dynamic bone.
there is also "Exclusions" settings.

 

HorngYuiWei i want to buy this asset but i have a little question

The asset is working on Unity 2019.3.9f?

 

Works for me.

 

Another Question, this asset is ligth or optimised for high use?

obviously not in abusive use

 

Yes, dynamic bone works well on Unity 2019.

 

Dynamic Bone uses its own physics simulation, which is simpler and much faster than Unity's build-in physics system.
but performance still depend on how complex you use and target platform.

 

This script tends to set override transform values in editor mode in some cases, making it really annoying to make bone changes to the underlying model.

You can fix this by commenting out InitTransforms(); inside the OnDrawGizmosSelected function in DynamicBone.cs.

 

Dynamic Bone doesn't seem to work well if you scale the parent object non-uniformly (Example: x:1 y:1 z:0.4)
Is this able to be fixed?

 

Hi, please provide more information what specified problem you meet.

 

I've got a set of chains hanging off of a shackle on my characters viewmodel. If the viewmodel is unscaled (x:1 y:1 z:1) everything works fine.

The issue arises because I scale my viewmodel in the Z direction by 0.4 to simulate FOV changes.
This is what the chain looks like while running with the viewmodel scaled.

As you can see, the bones aren't lined up properly anymore. Something isn't taking into account that it's stretched on only one axis.

 

It's confirmed there are problems with non-uniform scale and not easy to fix.

 

There is nothing speicial to debug dynamic bone source code.
what's problem you meet ?

 

Hi, I've been using DynamicBone in a few released games but I'm having a bit of trouble now.

We're trying to use it in a chain of a weapon in a first person game. It works very jittery when rotating the camera with the mouse and the Inert parameter doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.

While moving the character or attacking works fine, it just jitters when rotating the camera.

Any idea on how to make this work?

 

"Inert" can cancel character's movement from physics simulation.
Dynamic bone detect character's movement depend on which game object dynamic bone component attached.
you can try attach dynamic bone component on weapon game object instead of player game object.

 

Hi sir. First I wanna thank you for making this amazing asset I have a problem and I need some help from you, maybe you can solve my problem.
I need to add very bouncy breasts physics to my game, so I added some gravity to make it seem better. But as you can see in the video, gravity doesn't seem realistic. Gravity sometimes has no effect and sometimes has too much effect.

How can I fix it?

This is my dynamic bone script, only "chain tag" field is added by me and it doesn't affect the script. Dynamic bone's actual script is totally the same.

 

I'll try that. Thanks!

 

Reduce “Damping” and “Stiffness” make bones more bouncy.
you can also try use "Force" instead of "Gravity".

 

Has there been a solution against the flickering problem?

 

Please give me more information. In what situation there are flickering.

 

Im having a sort of flickering problem too,
I uploaded a video there, sorry for the host but since Gfycat doesn't allow boobs now, i didn't knew where to put it.
https://www.redgifs.com/watch/unrulylastingerin


The boobs (script targets the boob bones) makes it flickery every time the character moves or rotates.

 

It looks there are objects always collide with boobs.

 

how could i fix it?

 

Please check is there any colliders always collide with boobs bones.

 

Hello there,

when using "End Length" and "End Length Offset" is the preview in Scene view supposed to update?
It is always pointing upwards and offset seems to not change the position of the extra bone.

Best regards!
