Internal Cavity as Collider Body

I’d like to simulate a long tube falling into an open-topped ovoid-shaped object and coming to rest conforming to the internal shape. I am using a rope-making plugin (HoRope) to create the tube. Simulating it falling on a plane is fine. But, if I, say, create a hemisphere, open side up, and attempt to let the rope fall into the open hemisphere it doesn’t work. I looks like the Collider Body tag uses the bounding box of the object to detect collisions not the actual polygon surface.

Is there a way to set up the collider body tag to cause the collision on the exact polygon surface (internal as well as external)?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Yes, there is a way. Would you please check out the Shape> Static (if the object doesn’t move)

Example:

Please have a look here:

I have not installed HoRope in R25. So I hope the clones will do.

All the best

Dr. Sassi,

Perfect. Thanks so much! Especially, for your patience. I should have found this on my own.

BTW, HoRope works fine. There is an updated version for R25. Fixes a bug and corrects syntax for Python 3.  It’s here:

Thanks again!

Hi Dr. Greg Bollella Ph.D.,

Thanks so much for your reply and the link. I have used it only once in the past, and yes, I would have had a hard time with my previous download (Python 2 based).

My best wishes for your project.
