    In Unity, I have a plane with a rigidbody and mesh. I would like to make the plane flexible, so that when an object collides with it, it will deform and curve similar to a soft surface.

    I attempted to add the built-in component SpringJoint between every node of the mesh of a plane. However, I encountered two issues. Firstly, the plane has a large number of nodes, causing Unity to crash. Secondly, in the case of a plane with a low number of nodes, the functionality was not correct. Therefore, I believe it would be best to implement a soft plane from scratch.
