Overview
BoneCloth has a connection option that automatically generates a mesh structure from the Transform state.
By using this function, each Transform (bone) can behave as a mesh instead of a single one, so the connection becomes stronger and the shape is maintained and collision detection is also stronger.
How to Use
You can select the connection method by “Connection Mode” of BoneCloth.
The details of each item are as follows.

| Connection Mode |
This is the mesh generation method. [Mesh Automatic] [Mesh Sequential Loop] [Mesh Sequential No Loop] |
| Same Surface Angle |
The angle for generating the mesh normal (0-90). |
Details of connection method
Here, we will explain each connection method.
As an example, suppose you have the following skirt-like Transform structure:
This structure looks like this in the Hierarchy.
And suppose that Transforms are registered in the RootList in the order of A, B, C, D, E, F as follows.
[Mesh Automatic]
Simply connect the nearby Transforms.
Therefore, it is not affected by the parent-child relationship of Transform.
However, if the shape of the Transform is complicated, there is a concern that unintended connections will occur.
[Mesh Sequential Loop]
Connect in the order of Transform lines registered in RootList.
In this example, by registering Transforms of A, B, C, D, E, and F as RootList, each line will be connected in order and a mesh will be formed.
The user can specify the connection order by himself.
[Mesh Sequential No Loop]
Same as “Mesh Sequential Loop”, but this does not connect the first and last lines.
It is convenient for skirts with slits.
Triangle Bendの利用
By using the Mesh connection, you can use the functions of Triangle Bend with BoneCloth.
The Triangle Bend prevents adjacent triangles from bending excessively.
See the Triangle Bend section for details.
