Unigine::BodyParticles Class
| Header: | #include <UniginePhysics.h> |
| Inherits from: | Body |
BodyParticles is a base class for BodyCloth and BodyRope classes. It uses a mass-spring simulation model, i.e. particles that are connected by inner joints. The particles are of sphere shape and characterized by a position, mass and velocity. The total mass of the whole cloth is distributed among them. Particles can be acted upon by a force or an impulse. The inner joints can be stretched (linear and angular separately), or linear joints can also be scaled, which provides the same stretching effect. When stretched to the specified distance, joins are torn (the distance is set separately for linear and angular joints).
