Roblox Dynamic Animated Sails

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback

For my upcoming game in Roblox, I managed to create sails which are animated. They correspond to the winds direction, speed and magnitude.

These sails run at a performant 0.03ms per frame! They also can have the capability to have several in a frame (tested 20) with no change in performance.

Feedback appreciated!

Hey, could you explain how you were able to accomplish this? This is looking very good!

Thanks for the reply. I accomplished this using a multitude of sine waves acting in several directions, relative to time, which would update each bone’s CFrame on a sail I made in blender. My blender model has a base curvature to it as if wind is hitting it, although you can use math to add it through script (like math.sine for a curve)

This would repeat every frame, and renders at specific distances

Wait couldn’t you have used SmartBone for this aswell?

I used smartbone, but couldn’t get it to work how I wanted it to. When i got it somewhere close, it would take 1ms per frame, which to me isn’t ideal, so I made it myself.

I am sure this is a possible route, ofcourse.
