A ScriptableObject asset defining physics parameters and limiter curves for a VerletTransformTree. Used to configure per-depth simulation behaviour such as drag, damping, and collision influence.
The VerletTransformTreeSettings asset allows designers to fine-tune the physics behaviour of a transform hierarchy using a set of scaled curves. These curves are sampled per node based on relative depth, enabling smooth transitions from root to tip in drag, elasticity, angle limits, and collision responses.
A constant force applied to all nodes each simulation step. Typically represents gravity.
Controls how much velocity is reduced per step. A higher drag value causes the node to lose energy more quickly.
Applies smoothing to motion between nodes, helping prevent jitter and overshooting.
Defines how much a node tries to return to its rest position. Higher values increase spring-like behaviour.
Controls how rigidly nodes maintain their length from parent nodes. High stiffness enforces fixed bone lengths.
Defines which layers are checked during node collision tests. Used when collision response is enabled via the collision curve.
Controls how strongly each node responds to collisions. Typically increases toward tips of chains or leaves.
Limits the angle between a node’s forward vector and its rest orientation. Useful for constraining extreme bending.
Right-click in the Project window
Select Create → Variables → Verlet Transform Tree Settings
Assign the asset to a VerletTransformTree component
Set drag to increase with depth to dampen motion further from the root
Set collision to 0 at the root and 1 at the tips to enable impact response only on free ends
Set angle curve to gently enforce pose limits on mid-chain nodes
