DeformableBodies

[NicolasCARPi]

Hello Sébastien,

From what I understand, rapier's goal is at term to replace nphysics, right?

I want to use softbodies (to simulate fibers, like growing hair), should I use nphysics for that as this feature is not yet ported to rapier or am I missing something?

Best,
~Nico

Hi Nicolas,

Yes, the goal of Rapier is to replace nphysics. Right now soft-bodies are not supported by Rapier yet (and adding them is not part of the 2021 plan for Rapier). So they could be added next year, or at the end of this year depending on the progress wrt. the announced roadmap.

So today nphysics is still needed for soft-bodies.

Best,
