Winch Demo

Rope physics can be extremely difficult. The demo features a simple and elegant way of creating a winch or hoist using a combination of dynamically added JointBalls and geometry. This type of winch is suitable for simulation of helicopter operations or heavy duty equipment towing. The rope is implemented as a C++ component that you can use in your project.

• Reusable code emulating the winch
• Use of JointBall to imitate the rope
• Runtime changing of the number of JointBalls to increase/decrease the rope length
• Runtime generation of the rope mesh with correct UV coordinates
