Quick Start

Get started with KawaiiPhysics in 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

• KawaiiPhysics is installed
• A character with Skeletal Mesh
• Animation Blueprint

Basic Setup

Step 1: Open Animation Blueprint

Open the Animation Blueprint of the character you want to apply physics to.

Step 2: Add KawaiiPhysics Node

Right-click in AnimGraph and add the Kawaii Physics node.

Step 3: Set Root Bone

1. Select the KawaiiPhysics node
2. Set Root Bone to the parent bone of the bone chain you want physics applied to

tip

For example, if you want to animate hair, set the Root Bone to the bone at the base of the hair (like head).

Step 4: Adjust Parameters

Basic parameters:

Parameter	Description	Recommended Value
Damping	Damping (speed of motion convergence)	0.1 - 0.3
Stiffness	Stiffness (restoration force to original shape)	0.05 - 0.2
World Damping Location	Position damping in world coordinates	0.5 - 0.8

Step 5: Preview

Move the character in the Animation Blueprint preview window to verify the physics behavior.
