Im thinking about remaking simple softbodies and having a much more performant version of it using possibly some simple math/visual trickery with sprites/wireframe-esc lines to make it look and run better (pretty much a complete rework from the ground up)
Any suggestions for what should be added as features, say color of cloth, maybe I could do like a thing where it could tear, etc. are welcome and may be taken into consideration

I've seen your prior work and really like what you've done. I would like to see flexible 'grids' of simulation - so it could be tuned to purpose. Perhaps I'd want to put a sail on a boat or something, or drape a curtain for an interior set. Even something that did the initial setup then 'froze' the values to capture the structure would be cool.

I like that idea being able to freeze it or use it connected to surfaces
supple kraken
It could yield some complex surfaces that aren't possible with pure modeling. In any case, I would like to see what you do with your framework.

- Take a 'knife' and cut any of the connections
- Simulated Pressure
- Collision...
Was thinking about some sort of tension system based off of spacing of points for tearing
Btw to clarify I havent started this but plan to soon IDK how long itll take lmao
tulip jungle
Goodluck with performance,
If you want you are welcome to use my point system as a base
vagrant dove
Honestly im a masochist so Ill probably start from sratch and if it goes horribly ill look into that
I was thinking about maybe using almost see through voxes jointed together and sprites stretched across them but that might be a bit jank that be my first test tho
tulip jungle
Oo that’s jank but something that I’ve wanted to try for a while, rendering meshes.
Goodluck

I'm so like that lol
I rewrote a coordinate generator three different times
(and the function at first was several hundred lines)

I rewrote a coordinate generator three different times
I end up rewriting half the code I do to make it better or just organize it better

Starting to work on it :) a single space between the voxels improves perf quite a bit (I'm guessing bc of less collisions) this is still self colliding
supple kraken
Starting to work on it :) a single space between the voxels improves perf quite ...
Nicely done, just neat seeing the dynamics of it
I wonder if you can selectively 'sleep' the voxels to improve performance
As in, no 'jitter' so it doesn't simulate small movements
vagrant dove
probably would just internally fight with the settling system lol
supple kraken
Entirely possible, lol
vagrant dove
imma try to space it out to 2 voxels here
got it to 2
now time for a sprite line system to cover the gaps
vagrant dove
supple kraken
Interesting, so you have the sparse voxel grid with sprite overlay. Cool
Seems to perform well in that sample
vagrant dove
seems decently performant (cloth doesnt like to be stacked tho lol)
Id prefer to use a tri mehod and make the point between 2 voxels determine width / height
might do that if I dont become lazy
supple kraken
Interesting, I await more vid test results 😎
vagrant dove
its just with the tri system I cant think of a way without manually doing each point probably a pattern since I have it in an xml woth copied rows
just need to look into it
supple kraken
Or just use two points and get the third using trigonometry, pythagorean theorem... I might have a helper function somewhere
Assuming right-angle triangles of course
you could get the midpoint of the hypotenuse
vagrant dove
its not that its just knowing which voxes to connect to which
supple kraken
Well, depends on how you did it -- does it dynamically spawn or did you just build it manually
I'm guessing you built it, because spawning joints is tricky
vagrant dove
its spawned in an xml that is assembled im sure theres a num pattern I just dont feel like looking at it rn
supple kraken
ah ok
So you'd have to enumerate their handles and then figure out connectiveness, I see
supple kraken
lol how you froze one corner and it was whipping around... cool motion from the physics engine there

Wireframe
vagrant dove
Guess I should mention it is purely visible and was a pain in my bottocks to get working and acts a little weird when broken but its fine
tulip jungle
Are those point collisions or are the collisions from the voxels?
vagrant dove
Collision from voxels

one thing you NEED to do is make it lighter
i dont if its possible but you need to try to
vagrant dove
one thing you NEED to do is make it lighter
Problem is that joints act more stable with a higher density

uhmmm
