[EXCERPT:SimulationNormal]
|
|
|
|
Toggling the Simulation will set all the Physics Bodies in the Physics Asset to Awake and apply gravity. This will preview how the Physics Asset will work when enabled in the engine.
|
|
|
|
It will also show you if you have any Physics Bodies that start interpenetrating each other as the system will expel them from each other using a sizable force. This will result in your skeletal mesh looking like it has exploded.
|
|
|
|
Also you can check to see how long the Physics Asset takes to come to rest and set itself back to Sleep. If the Skeletal Mesh proceeds to "vibrate" on the ground for long periods of time, you can adjust which Physics Bodies collide with each other, increase the damping on the Physics Bodies and/or Constraints, or even increase the solver iterations for individual Physics Bodies.

Toggling the Simulation will set all the Physics Bodies in the Physics Asset to Awake. This will preview how the Physics Asset will work when enabled in the engine.
|
|
|
|
It will also show you if you have any Physics Bodies that start interpenetrating each other as the system will expel them from each other using a sizable force. This will result in your skeletal mesh looking like it has exploded.
|
|
|
|
Without gravity, unless some Physics Bodies are interpenetrating, the Physics Asset will most likely go to sleep immediately. You can use the Ctrl + Left or Ctrl + Right mouse buttons to interact with the Physics Asset.

[EXCERPT:TranslationMode]
|
|
|
|
Enables the Translation tool in the Physics Asset Editor. This works the same as the normal Translation tool in the main editor. Both Physics Bodies and Constraints can be moved.
|
|
|
|
When moving a Constraint, only one of the effectors will be movable. It will offset the Bone that Constraint is associated with to the location you move it to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:TranslationMode]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:RotationMode]
|
|
|
|
Enables the Rotation tool in the Physics Asset Editor. This works the same as the normal Rotation tool in the main editor. Both Physics Bodies and Constraints can be rotated.
|
|
|
|
When rotating a Constraint, only one of the effectors will be rotatable. It will offset the Bone that Constraint is associated with to the orientation you rotate it to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:RotationMode]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ScaleMode]
|
|
|
|
Enables the Scale tool in the Physics Asset Editor. This works the same as the normal Scale tool in the main editor. Only Physics Bodies can be scaled.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:ScaleMode]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:Snap]
|
|
|
|
After a re-factor of the viewports, the snap settings were moved to the main editor viewport. Due to this, the local snapping tools within the Physics Asset Editor have been disabled.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:CopyProperties]
|
|
|
|
Copies all the properties from one Physics Body to another, or from one Constraint to another. This includes things like the type of Physics Body (box, sphere, or sphyl), relative position, rotation, and scale.
|
|
|
|
This is primarily useful for copying down a long chain of Bones where the orientation of the Bones does not change. It can be used to mirror a humanoid character, but only if the mirrored joints have the same orientation.
|
|
[/EXCERPT:CopyProperties]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:EditingMode_Body]
|
|
|
|
The default editing mode of the Physical Asset Tool. This mode will allow you to select, manipulate, adjust properties on, add, or remove Physics Bodies.
|
|
|
|
If no Physics Body is selected, only the New Body tool will be available to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is worth noting that both the Body Editing and Constraint Editing modes remember which Modes are enabled in the viewport.
|
|
[/EXCERPT:EditingMode_Body]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:EditingMode_Constraint]
|
|
|
|
Enabling the Constraint Editing mode will allow you to select and edit the Physics Constraints of the Physics Asset. Outside of the properties of the constraints, you can change their position and rotation.
|
|
|
|
If no Constraint is selected, only the Snap All tool will be available to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is worth noting that both the Body Editing and Constraint Editing modes remember which Modes are enabled in the viewport.

[EXCERPT:DuplicatePrimitive]
|
|
|
|
This will duplicate the currently selected Physics Body, including all properties, scale, and rotation. However, to make it easier to manipulate, the new Physics Body's location will be offset from the Original's.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:DuplicatePrimitive]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:RestetBoneCollision]
|
|
|
|
This will reset the selected Physics Body, by using the New Physics Asset dialog. Since this operation is not Undoable, it will give you a chance to stop:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you continue, you will receive the New Physics Asset dialog, but unlike "Reset Asset," after clicking "Ok" only the selected Physics Body will have its properties regenerated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:RestetBoneCollision]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:DeletePrimitive]

|
|
|
|
If "Prompt on Bone Delete" in the Advanced category of the Physics Asset Tools options (deselect any Physics Bodies or Constraints) is set to True, you will get this warning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:DeletePrimitive]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:PlayAnimation]
|
|
|
|
This is only available during Simulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If "Physics Blend" in the Anim category of the Physics Asset Tools options (deselect any Physics Bodies or Constraints) is set to anything less than 1.0, some amount of animation will be played on the Skeletal Mesh in the viewport of the Physics Asset Tool.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:PlayAnimation]
|
|
|
|

|
|
[EXCERPT:ConvertToPrismatic]
|
|
|
|
Sets the Constraint's properties to mimic the motion of a Prismatic Joint. Locked angular motion on all axes, Linear YMotion, and Linear ZMotion, but free movement along Linear XMotion. This would be like the legs of a camera tripod or a hydraulic piston.
|
|
|
|
Using the "Q" will cycle which axis is the prismatic axis.
|
|
[VAR:ToolTipFullLink]
|
|
/Engine/Physics/PhysicsAssetEditor/Reference#constraintmodetoolbar
|
|
[/VAR]
|
|
[/EXCERPT:ConvertToPrismatic]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ConvertToSkeletal]
|
|
|
|
Sets the Constraint's properties to mimic the motion of a Skeletal Joint. Locked on all Linear Motions, but limited on all the Angular Motions. The defaults will work much like Ball and Socket Joint, but its angular movements are limited and Soft Swing and Twist limits are set (but extremely liberal).
|
|
|
|
Using the "Q" key will cycle which axis is the Twist Motion axis.
|
|

|
|
[/EXCERPT:ConvertToSkeletal]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:SnapConstraint]
|
|
|
|
This will set the location and rotation of the currently selected constraint to the position and rotation of the Bone it is associated with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:SnapConstraint]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:SnapAllConstraints]
|
|
|
|
Like Snap Constraint, this will take all constraints in the Physics Asset and set their locations and rotations to the location and rotation of the Bones they are associated with.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:SnapAllConstraints]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:CopyJointSettings]
|
|
|
|
This will copy the currently selected Constraint's settings to all other Constraints in the Physics Asset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is process is undoable.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:CopyJointSettings]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ResetConstraint]
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:ResetConstraint]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:DeleteConstraint]
|
|
|
|
This will delete the currently selected Constraint. This will completely free the Physics Bodies down the Bone chain from the Constraint, they will operate as a separate entity.
|
|
|
|
This is process is undoable.
|
|
|
|
To regenerate a delete Constraint, you must delete one of the Physics Bodies that it was associated with, then use "New Body" to recreate the Physics Body, thusly recreating the Constraint.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:DeleteConstraint]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ShowSkeleton]
|
|
|
|
This option will enable a line representation of the skeleton of the Skeletal Mesh. While working with the Physics Asset Tool, it will be rendered in white, but while simulating it will be rendered in red.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:ShowSkeleton]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:DrawGroundBox]
|
|
|
|
Enables or disables the ground box. Does not disable collision with the ground box, just the showing of the box.
|
|
[/EXCERPT:DrawGroundBox]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:InstanceProperties]
|
|
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:InstanceProperties]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ShowFixedBodies]
|
|
|
|

|
|
[/EXCERPT:ShowFixedBodies]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ToggleGraphicsHierarchy]
|
|
|
|
Similar to Toggle Skeleton, in that it will render a line representation of the Skeleton of the Skeletal Mesh, but show Hierarchy will also (by default) show the names of the Bones in the Skeleton.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If "Show Names in Hierarchy" is set to False in the Physics Asset Tool's settings (accessed in the Details pane by deselecting any Physics Body or Constraint), this will appear to work exactly like Toggle Skeleton.
|
|
[/EXCERPT:ToggleGraphicsHierarchy]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ToggleBoneInfuences]
|
|
|
|
With a Physics Body selected, the vertices of the Bone the selected Physics Body is associated with, will show as green lines extending in the direction of the normal of the vertex.
|
|
|
|
[/EXCERPT:ToggleBoneInfuences]
|
|
|
|
[EXCERPT:ToggleMassProperties]
|
