Football Net [Need Help]

Walsh · 26-04-2012, 09:33 PM

I am trying to make a ragdoll Football netting (not the posts just the netting) to put into half-life 2 but I am struggling, I am trying to make it so when an object is hit into the netting the net will ripple, there is very little tutorials out there on stuff like this and would be great if somebody could help me out.

Thanks

pretty much, I have already made the model I just need to put bones in it so that an object reacts to it when it hits it in-game.

That might work if the skinning is done well. I guess if you anchor the bone endings to whatever the net is attached to, and have a sufficient number of bones, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Give it a try and then post your progress. *shrug*

why are you talking about bones ?

Source has a cloth engine built in - doesn't it?

Wikipedia says that cloth is yet to be integrated lol or is that just part of the physX stuff??? I don't really no a lot about game engines but it sounds interesting.

they made a big deal of it at the time of the half life2 launch

maybe it was all just a load of balls - i dunno, never used source for anything
