Enabling Clothing Simulation within a Atoms Agent Group

[Lee_Oni]

Hello,

I am trying to enable Unreal Cloth simulations within with my Agents.

But I cant find anything to enable the cloth? I tried Physics but not sure where to enable? I even saw that simulating physics was grayed out in my atoms agent?

On another note, would it be better to play my agents as a cached animation of the cloth sim, before making it into a Atoms Agent Group?

Sorry I am reviewing the software again and I'm stuck.

Please help and thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Leon Cruz

Hello Leon,

cloth sim does not work by default on atoms agents. It would slow down considerably the simulation if you run this on many agents.

You can use hero promotion for this workflow:

In your case you will have to promote to a full actor:

Please consider applying the promotion only the agents close to the player or the camera. Applying this to the whole crowd is not recommended.

Thanks,

Daniele
