To set up a custom penetrator:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Run the Penetrator Setup Tool at Tools > Raliv > Create Penetrator.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Drag your Custom Penetrator Model from the scene into the "My Model" slot.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Drag the White Base dot to the center of the base of the model (Everything in front of that dot will move during penetration).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Drag the Blue Tip dot to the center of the tip of your model.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Press "Generate Custom Model!".
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Manual Model Setup:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Remove all bones and make sure the mesh is not a child component of an armature or another object in blender.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Position your mesh in blender with the penetrator's tip facing toward the positive Z axis (This is straight up to the sky). It's origin should be in the center of the base. Everything above the origin will deform, and everything below will not.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Apply all transforms with Object > Apply > All Transforms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Export to Unity. and Place it into the prefab with the default penetrator.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set its position and rotation to 0,0,0 and 0,0,0. (It should now point the same direction as the default penetrator)
|
||
|
|
||
|
hide or delete the default penetrator.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set the scale to 1, 1, 1.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It might be the wrong scale now! Simply select the asset and adjust it's Scale Factor until it is back to an appropriate size (You might need 0.01 or 100).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Apply the Penetrator material to it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Adjust the length slider to the length of your penetrator (I suggest turning it to zero, and slowly raising it until the entire penetrator shows).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Adjust the light intensity to the same length value.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When Modeling your own penetrator, it needs to be quite straight. Curvature can be added with the curvature sliders.

COMMON ISSUES
|
||
|
Scale is not 1, 1, 1:
|
||
|
Set the scale to 1,1,1 and adjust it to your liking with the asset's Scale Factor option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It deforms really weird:
|
||
|
Ensure the position and rotation of your model are 0,0,0 and 0,0,0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is pointing the wrong direction:
|
||
|
Go back to blender and ensure it is not bone animated or in an object hierarchy, and that the tip points toward positive Z (the sky)
|
||
|
|
||
|
A whole lot of crazy stuff is happening:
|
||
|
Maybe you updated from an old version and need to delete the Dynamic Penetration System folder and install the new one fresh.
