Hello, although I don't have enough spare time to create games at the moment, I'm playing a bit around with code to understand game mechanics. At the moment I'm teaching myself soft body dynamics. I can create an entity consisting just of cordinates (say a sphere) and play around with their shape, wobbling, squishing etc. But I'm at a loss at how to bind a texture to them that actually distorts according to the coord changes; preferrably in a way performant enough to use it in a game, and most preferrably done in Pixijs. Maybe I'll have to cut the texture into a mesh, bind UV coordinates to them and then use something like three.js to render it? I see that e.g. Dragonbone has some way to add meshes to characters - plus it can be used from pixi. Will it distort textures properly when I modify mesh coordinates, or is this information only used when exporting animations? What other approaches can you think of?
