How can i place a set of eyes on a softbody cube

[shomy2k11]

I want to place a set of eyes on a softbody jello cube (boss). The eyes should rotate to the direction of the player. Any ideas ?

Wow,
I can't belive no one has an answer to this question. Help please

Best way I know of would be to use Anchors between nodes of the soft body and two rigid bodies for the eyes (I'm assuming here that you want the eyes rigid). I have never used this, but I believe it is used in some of the demos(?)

Search the forum for "soft body anchor", maybe there are more examples.

This may be a silly question, and I did googled it.

But what do eyes mean here ?

Not silly, good question. I had just assumed he wanted 2 rigid bodies (spheres, perhaps) for eyes, bobbling around on one of the sides of the jelly cube, since he mentioned having them rotate. Another idea would be simply having eye textures stuck onto the cube, but texturing soft bodies can be a bit tricky, and he'd also have to then figure out how to modify the texture to make the eyes "look" in certain directions.

Ok, after reading your post and looking back previous ones, it makes sense now.
