Collision objects

Collision objects don't have an impact within the SpeedTree Modeler, but they can be queried through the SpeedTree SDK for use in real-time. Collision objects are used for detecting collisions with players, projectiles, vehicles, etc. They can be used alone, or perhaps as a fast method for identifying collisions before something more exact is used, like per-polygon tests.

Collision Object

Type

Sets the shape of this Collision Object to Sphere or Capsule.

Radius

Sets the radius of the sphere or the radius of the ends of the capsule.

Height

When the Collision Object is a capsule, this property sets the height.

User data

If the Collision Object needs additional specific data, enter it as a string here. You can include information for what sound to play, what kind of particles to emit, etc.

Transform

Moving and rotating the Collision Object is usually easier by using the transform gizmo in the Tree Window, but you can set the values explicitly too.

Translation

X/Y/Z

Sets the location of the Collision Object.

Reset Translation

Resets the location to the origin (0,0,0).

Rotation

Axis X/Y/Z

Determines the axis about which to rotate.

Angle

Sets the angle to rotate around the axis.

Reset rotation

Resets the rotation to default (1,0,0,0).
