Hi!


I was wondering if you can 'hinge' several objects togetehr (for instance to make a chain), I don't think thats possible is it?

Also why can't objects with a joint be linked?

I think you could make wonderful hair and maybe even prim clothes with joints.


Thanks,

Dalea

Joints and hinges are pretty much broken a the moment. The physics engine just doesn't deal with them very well so results using them are very erratic. That's why you just don't see objects that use them in-world.

Hopefully things will improve when we get Havok 2 (upgraded physics engine) later this year, but who can say! ;)
