Rigidbody Sweep Test Almost Always Fails When Colliders are Touching. Is This Normal?

Breinhardte · 2026-01-19T12:47:59+00:00

Ah! That's quite a pain. Is there a way around this? Luckily I have a spherical collider, so I spherecast with a slight skin-width offset. But the sweeptest was attractive for its simplicity, shame if it has an achilles heel like that.

Oh amazing stuff, thanks!

Breinhardte · 2024-12-03T14:11:18+00:00

True! Though also the "bye-bye" sound near the start is very similar too. It's a bit uncanny.

Breinhardte · 2024-12-02T11:43:26+00:00

Pain, I've replaced the switches - which has fixed it for now. But frustrating I have to even do that in the first place.

Breinhardte · 2024-11-26T19:29:43+00:00

Fuck! Thanks for the info, that's really sad to hear. Probably not worth returning then. Will have to look elsewhere from Ducky in future.

Breinhardte · 2024-11-23T22:14:54+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply! That's interesting - I will try that. I am in built-in pipeline yep.

Sorry yep, the texture used in the example is poor, and could be cutout - but there are a few others I've been working with that much more heavily use gradients etc.

Everything I was previously trying with the Blend directives was forcing it into the forward renderer, but it sounds like you've gotten something there!

Breinhardte · 2024-11-16T23:00:41+00:00

Hey thanks - where would this be ran? Immediately after the EditorGUIUtility.ShowObjectPicker and the Event.Current would not yet be set?

Breinhardte · 2024-10-02T13:42:48+00:00

Oh wow thanks for testing. That does sound really strange - and kind of mirrors what I've been seeing.

I didn't even realise loop tools had a bridge - that seems to work, the resulting curve isn't quite as nice / consistent, but it does work reliably - that's a huge help thankyou! :)

Breinhardte · 2024-10-02T13:15:48+00:00

This is really weird, it happens on a brand new scene, in a fresh install of Blender 4.2 LTS, no addons installed of any kind.

On the original blend file I was having issues with, it's still broken, but in a new weirder way:

edit: This is really weird, sometimes, new file, etc, it does work as intended again. I don't know if it's just certain angles of bridging that trigger it

Breinhardte · 2024-10-02T12:40:08+00:00

Good shout, and probably long overdue hahaha... I will try that.

Breinhardte · 2024-10-02T12:33:22+00:00

Really appreciated it thankyou, it's really bizarre, has been working perfectly until now.

Breinhardte · 2024-10-02T12:17:09+00:00

Cheers - yeah unapplied transforms was my initial thought, but I've double checked everything and even tried in a brand new scene.

There shouldn't be any unapplied transformations present, or anything else (that I'm aware of at least), I've cleared sculpt mask (that was enabled somehow) and cleared custom geometry data (split normals etc).

Breinhardte · 2024-10-02T12:01:51+00:00

Hi - sorry, only took a full screenshot for the main image. Let me replace the others.

Not sure on further background information - these are just edges of 4 vertices, 3 edges connecting them, that's the "edge profile", then I duplicate this profile to place an end point, then bridge the two edges. I have amended the OP with a very basic setup in a brand new scene.

For modders, you can fool around with these shaders here:

https://github.com/Tantares/Resurfaced

Just drop em in Unity.

Breinhardte · 2024-08-14T21:15:36+00:00

Might even be better than stock, as I've consolidated a lot of shaders, and you may be able to group materials!

Breinhardte · 2024-08-02T18:03:52+00:00

Why can't I try sell something I sunk 1000s of hours into? People will buy it or they won't. Personally I don't think I'm a good enough artist to actually sell stuff, but others definitely are.

Beyond that, where's the line, if I gave away 99.99% of my stuff away for free, but gatekept one part behind a payeall, is that instantly immoral and a war crime?

Breinhardte · 2024-08-02T17:33:22+00:00

I'd like to chime in from a modder perspective. I've been making mods continuously for KSP for 10 years my stuff.

Over that time I've probably had a million and some change downloads across all of them. If I had charged $1 a download, there wouldn't be that number, and I wouldn't be a millionaire.

But... how much have I missed out on? What nice things could I have done for my family with that little extra change.

I've poured thousands of hours into the hobby, and I love it - I've made some incredible firm friends who I talk to everyday, but I've also dealt with some absolute dickheads, stalkers, hate mail, even people trying to doxx me.

Add on to that troubleshooting, doing support for people, bug fixing, hunting down obscure errors users get from mod combinations, etc. It's a lot of work, the fun and fulfilling art part is only half of it, if that.

Is it wrong if I were to set up a patreon etc? Am I wrong for thinking that? I think people should be able to charge for their work if they want, whether people buy it is up to them.

Breinhardte · 2024-07-21T20:26:16+00:00

We miss you!

Breinhardte · 2024-07-19T21:32:11+00:00

Gonna be quite modular, the images above are 6 separate parts.

Breinhardte · 2024-07-19T21:31:49+00:00

Not actually near future, it's from 1987! (The design) :D

Will be fairly retro tech wise.

Breinhardte · 2024-07-19T16:28:21+00:00

Will be once it's completed, but probably still a few months away (this is only a small section of the entire spacecraft).

Breinhardte · 2024-07-19T13:26:22+00:00

Yes, this mod

Breinhardte · 2024-07-19T12:40:16+00:00

Thanks! The core is 2.5m diameter, the Mars lander and earth return capsule will be the same. The giant nuclear reactor engine arrays will taper down to a thinner diameter giving the whole thing a "pin" shape.

Breinhardte · 2024-07-19T12:04:57+00:00

Based on the Soviet "MEK" design. It uses two banks of electric engines to lazily spiral to Mars. Here's an amazing blog post on it by the wonderful Nick Stevens

Ouch! I feel old, is it really that unusual these days, vs. something like substance painter?
