Seems like another feature that would benefit from a “LOD” type thing where soft bodies only check for occluders when they’re close to the camera.

I figured the base system would not be for the performance minded, I myself didn’t really intend to use it during actual gameplay, but instead use it in sequencer and render the cut-scenes
(if it did work well in gameplay, then awesome! but it’s not important enough to slave yourself over it)

And voila:

Real-time wind occlusion! Notice the small gap at the bottom of the walls, it actually lets a draft through if you look carefully at the rope and cloth. So you should be able to create pretty intricate setups with that level of precision.

And you are correct about having this use an “LOD” type setup, but I think I’ll leave that up to the developer since toggling it simply involves setting a bool. I will however add a coarser grain, high perf, alternative which will only use the bounds for checking wind occlusion of the entire object.
