Imported rigged suspension spring doesn't work properly
Hi,
I made a spring in Cinema 4D and rigged it.
As you can see, it works fine in Cinema. But the problem is that in Unity, it doesn't work like in Cinema.
What is the problem, what should I do?
Top joint is going from 100% hardness to 0%. Each section of polygons I was reducing strength by 5%. Bottom joint is the same, 100% from the bot to the top, each section of polygon reduced 5% strength.
I think its having a zero point thats causing the issue. There should not be a 0 or 100% point but a lower spread normalised over the range. The Zero point causes a fixed point in space but the nature of a spring is that all points in the spring are movable, which creates its behaviour.
I'm going to try from 95% to 5%. I'll see if that works :/
Nope, still doesn't work. It's gotta be Cinema's fbx exporter...

Looks like the skin weight values are being converted to rigid rather than smooth/blend. Upper spring is weighted 100 to top bone while lower spring is weighted 100 to bottom bone. No blended weights.
Looks like cinema error - not Unity error. Might there be a setting in cinema to set the skin weights to blended rather than rigid - for export, or possibly the export process is converting the skin weight values to rigid?
