This will be my next script ;)
Tomorrow I'll think about interface. Do you have any ideas or advices?

The only thing that comes to mind is a holy smokes Max....

Are you pulling our leg Max!? because it would be cruel giving us false hope ;) Is that even possible in MoI? I'm confused?

Looks great BTW.

A mere 580+ lines of C++ code :-)
How much JavaScript code would that take?

Then turn it into Nurbs?

- Brian

Some verlet integration in javascript?

So I'm guessing, calculate a lot of points, at some density, ?
Turn the points into curves, like a fishing net with square holes?
Apply Network command?

Really cool Max, looks like you're having a lot of fun!

Re: interface - not sure what tips to give on that yet without knowing more details - is the movement of the ball something that's happening in the simulation code as well or is that responding to mouse movements?

I guess first thing that comes to mind with what you're showing there is something to control the grid density of the cloth?

I did a little reading, based upon google search of "verlet integration cloth simulation," and found lots of good sites with excellent information.

Select collision object(s), i.e. the sphere.
Cloth width.
Cloth height.
Grid density, or vertex distance.
Vertex "marble" distance, to prevent self intersection.
Attachment points, if any, i.e. 2 corners.

Another site explained collision.

Hi guys!

>>Is that even possible in MoI?
Yes, it's possible. And it works even faster than I thought before.

>>How much JavaScript code would that take?
I used three.js javascript library. It's so big! I need to clean all unused functions.
At the moment the code size is about 2000 lines. :)

>>So I'm guessing, calculate a lot of points, at some density, ?
I think 40x40 points will be enouth.

>>is the movement of the ball something that's happening in the simulation code as well or is that responding to mouse movements?
In the first video the ball movement was predefined. But it's possible to control it manually.

In fact it's very easy. Really. Very simple mathematics.
>>Turn the points into curves, like a fishing net with square holes?Apply Network command?
Exactly! :)

Not sure if this is helpful but Blender can also do a cloth simulation thing...

That is really cool...

Hi Sebastian, that's just it, there are plenty of poly modelling apps that do cloth sims, but this is first I have seen of it in NURBS, so unless anyone knows different, this is going to be unique to MoI.

Will the user be able to select a "bending stiffness" for the cloth?

Will there be a "Hair" mode ? :-)

Hi Brian
>>Will the user be able to select a "bending stiffness" for the cloth?
Afraid not. At least not in the first release.

Agree with you Martin
I understand also Sebastian's point of wiew:he belong to other branch of MOI's users:molders,cnc,3dprinters..for them this stuff could be not necessary

anyway Max that's amazing !! I also saw- Moi3d camera- on your youtube...we have to expect this too??...all for free..?? :) :)

Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your contribute! About interface.. Uhm, guess you could type in the name (group) of the colliding objects, that would make it easy

Brilliant! :-)

Hello!
Today I've started to making the interface.


I don't know when I'll finish it. I'm very busy at work.
Maybe this weekend.. Maybe later.

Insane Max....... Cant wait to try it!

Simply amazing, great work.

Holy mother of pearl!

Oh... there are going to be possibilities. ;-)




So! Will there be a 'pause' or 'reverse' of some sort? Would you be able to affect it by a chosen object; like the sphere being moved into it?
And yes, rigidity or tensile viscosity would be a nice touch too, but never mind me, I've been amazed at your result and can't wait to play with the final script.
