Softbody Physics

I made this softbody simulator that can make objects OR use any mesh uploaded by the user and turn it into a soft body. It reacts to all parts, is completely dynamic, and is decently optimized.

WOAH! How did you do that??! Looks sick! Did you use smart bone for this?

Its an editable mesh that simulates physics and applies it to vertices, sort of like bones

is there any chance i could have that thing?

These softbody physics are INSANE! This is true innovation on the Roblox platform, this would be great in many types of games on Roblox!

Yes, but another question is optimization. What will happen if there’s a group of these soft objects?

This looks incredible!
Just one thing though, how does it perform visually and computationally if squished between multiple objects?

The same performance, the accuracy depends on the mesh resolution. Its a tradeoff, better looking collisions with more vertices, but eventually slower. This here is running with zero indicators of lag, and the same happens when testing on my phone. This has about 2k vertices i believe, which is more than enough.

This looks so satisfying, great job! Just another question, is it possible to add textures to the soft body?

It’s so nice to see something new on the platform rather than the same mechanics rehashed over and over.

Yes, you can add textures. They will appear just like they do in blender/roblox. In this example i am using a sphere, but most custom meshes work as well. They just have to be filled in and continuous, but Im still working to fix that so all meshes work.

Can you customize the hardness of the object?

yeah i think it’s best if we DON’T release this to the masses :folded_hands:

Great work man!! This is insanely cool. I managed to make something similar a while back with smart bones. Nice to know there is another approach. I’ll try and remake it at some point
