Character Animator collison not working

There are basically 3 objects I'm trying to run the animation with: the 2 chinese characters and an invisible "holder" sort of in a "U" shape that the characters fall into so they appear to be falling into the speech bubble. It seems like some of the collison is working since the characters does an initial bounce but ends up falling into each other and through the "holder" after the first bounce.

 

Any ideas? I originally thought the characters might've been too complex since I created a similar animation with the letters of "hello" and that worked perfectly. However, I changed the collison mesh to a simple box and it still resulted in the same glitch.

 

Hope someone can help!

Correct answer k_oshiro

It's closer but still falling through! I made the characters smaller here hoping it would help but the collison is still off. Does it work for you with the .puppet file I shared using those settings? Again, really appreciate your time so far!

 


1) Create an object behind the text that surrounds the entire text.
2) Hide the object layer that surrounds the text.
Give it a try.

Japanese was translated into English by software.
(1) Make the object you want to drop independent (crown mark)
(2) Attach “dynamic” and “collision” tags to the object.
(3) Tag the transparent object that will collide with the “Collision” tag.

Hello and thank you so much for your response! I used the same settings from your video as far as I can tell. If you're open to it, could you please take a look at my working file and let me know if I'm overlooking something? I've uploaded the AI and CHPROJ files here. Appreciate your insights!

Hello.
The files I downloaded from your link are ,
.ai and chproj files.
The files were not linked to each other and could not be opened properly.
If you could export them as .puppet files, they would read correctly in my environment.
File -> Export -> Puppet
Thanks.
