Kawaii Physics - Simple fake physics to sway bones more easily and more cutely

Did you make sure to have the plugin in your project’s plugin folder (not engine’s) before compiling?

43

Yes, it’s there. Curiously, once the plugin was activated, its project is packaging but does not run. If it is deactivated, it reports a packaging error (something with missing Visual Studio 17).

44

umm… Would please share with me how to reproduce it in UE4.25.3?

45

I’m using 4.25.3 (freshly installed) and Kawaii version 20200904-v1.6.1. The plugin is correctly installed and working, as long as i mount a project in editor. Packaging to WIN64 is also fine. However, when i am running the exe, it returns the above mentioned error (Plugin-Module not found). I checked via non-pak-packaging that the plugin is in the WindowsnoEditor-Folder.
Now, when disabling the plugin, packaging returns an error. Below is the part of the output-log concerning Kawaii:

BTW, the error message regarding an missing Visual C++ installation is also occuring with certain other plugins, e.g. PhythonEditorScriptPlugin

This sounds to me like the error mentioned in the release post for UE4.25

This was mentioned there by an user:

And someone answered

But looks like he found a solution:

Not entirely sure is this, but it looks like that… sort of.

What I can confirm tho is that I recently compiled a game in 4.25.3 using the 1.5.3 version of Kawaii without a problem.

**pafuhana1213, **have youconsidered setting up some kind of tip jar? I for one would love to give you a little something for your fantastic work on Kawaii. Question for anyone in the know: How does Kawaii read curves for physics settings? Does it pull from X -1 to X 1?

48

Great plugin. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi folks!

I have uploaded Kawaii Physics Plugin for UE5-EA now. You can try to use my plugin on UE5-EA!

If you want to know how to covert from UE4 to UE5, you can check it by a following post.

Thank you for the love for Ue5
I start to learn from here

EDIT: I was using ONLY blueprint project, now with a mixed project, it works very well. So, if you have the problem below, create a new class C++ in your project.

Hello, very good plugin, I’m in love with this plugin. I have a problem using it after packaging my project. When I try to open my game executable I get this message:
Plugin ‘KawaiiPhysics’ failed to load because module ‘KawaiiPhysics’ could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.
https://prnt.sc/1xbx5k3
Tested on Unreal Engine 4.26.2 and Unreal Engine 5, and both of them same error. I installed the plugin in the project folder and don’t work and also installed the plugin in the Unreal plugins folder and don’t work neither… Any help with this? I loved this plugin.

I tried changing the line for “DeveloperTool”, but doesn’t work…

Thank you for this amazing plugin!
Is there any option to have an updated version for 4.27? I was forced to update UE to this version and Kawaii Physics isnt working anymore :sleepy:
Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble!

53

My character is modular. Would it be possible to have a child component using kawaii physics be aware of collisions with the skeletal mesh it’s patented to? eg: an attached scarf colliding with the rest of the body it’s anchored to.

i hope this will be updated to use in UE5, the new UI and everything is making me want to use UE5 more than 4.27.

There is a version working for Prev 1 and 2 as well as the official UE 5.0 Build. I found it here:
