Anyone with any examples of xpresso collision? i am trying to figure out how to interact soft IK poly (like dino tail) with regular polygons. For example we have the dinotail and a cube. the dinotail should not pass through the cube it should produce a dynamic reaction to it.

Any idea or example file for this task?

Thanks to the forum!

the xpresso collision node just registers if there's been a collision (and optionally selects the polys where the colision has happened in a selection node). what you then do with that is up to you. to overide SIK you'll have to up the priority of the xpresso tag, maybe do something to reverse the direction, or limit the position of the object in question, it is likely to get very complex very fast, but it is possible to do things with it... good luck.

i was thinking about this a while ago maybe u can do it with thinkingparticles controlling the goal and have a collision node for the particles... i imagine this would be moderately hard to set up, so it works normally
