Here's what I'm working on at the moment, all I've got left to do is add the collision but I'm not doing something right. So far the closest I can get is to use Ziggy's trick of making a tiny collision mesh, but then I lose the prop through the floor...No its not magic...the Mrs thinks... Any ideas what's going on?

This only seems to happen with long thin props, like broomsticks oh and drain pipes!

If you want to group two objects together, their collision volume must be a little bit smaller than the prop volume, otherwise you won't be able to put them together. The collision volume takes priority over the prop volume.

Have a look to the image. This object can be duplicated and placed closely to each other to simulate a long fence. Collision volume is pink.

So, you need to think about the way you want to use the prop before setting up a collision volume.
Stand alone props you can make the collision volume a little big bigger than the object. If the object is going to be "touching" other objects than the collision volume needs to be a little bit smaller.

I hope I made sense

After following the tutorials I've managed to add collision to a couple of props I'm working on, but I think there is something I'm just not understanding.

I've managed to get a muvizu character to stand on the steps of my base model, which is rectangular...sort of. But when it comes to aligning the pieces of the model in Muvizu (like the house sections) the blocks that make up my model seems to hover a fraction above each other.

Could this be because the collision model is slightly larger than the model it is based upon? And is it the case that a collision model must be a much simplified version of the base model that fits exactly to the dimensions of the base model. If so, on a very simple model, can I just use the base model as the collision model.

I'm hoping I made sense there?]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:33:59 GMT
