This covers the basic settings of softbody, experiment with the parameters to achieve the effect you are aiming for when making your game.

Using Imported Meshes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The **Save to File** option in the Advanced Import Settings dialog allows you
to save a mesh to a standalone resource file that you can then attach to
``SoftBody3D`` nodes.

You may also want to disable LOD generation or change the LOD generation options
when importing a mesh for use with ``SoftBody3D``. The default import settings
will produce an LOD that merges adjacent faces that are nearly flat with
respect to each other, even at very close render distances. This works well for
static meshes, but is often undesirable for use with ``SoftBody3D`` if you want
these faces to be able to bend and move with respect to each other, instead of
being rendered as a single plane.

See :ref:`doc_importing_3d_scenes_import_configuration` and :ref:`doc_mesh_lod`
for more details.
