MilanSuk Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 when i learn BulletSop with the example in the installer package, i have a doubt, when and why to connect the shapes into btSolver ? i create a simple sense btBuilder Hull with the option box ,the solver does not need shapes connected , but in the "6_example_loader/emit_objs" example, it must connect the shapes to solver even the btBuilder Hull with option Box. btSolver will need Shapes If: - some hull is Convex or Deform - you use btLoader to load Shapes from previous frame(btLoader shows Shape data, which was send to btSolver at previous frame) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Copy node rotates with all vector point attributes(in this case bt_dir) according normal, but this is classic Houdini stuff(not BulletSOP).

Shinjipierre Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi, Firstly, I would like to thank you for the quick answer, I forgot to before (bad manners...) Secondly, I wanted to mention that the point velocities you're setting may be wrong, I have to divide them by the FPS before rendering them.

MilanSuk Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Secondly, I wanted to mention that the point velocities you're setting may be wrong, I have to divide them by the FPS before rendering them. Do You mean point velocity option on btTransform? You can apply point node and write some expression( $VX / $FPS) But I think that's right. It's velocity so you can look at object at any time and say, "Hey this object has 50m/s", you don't say "I'm looking at this object 30frame/sec and It has 50m/s" Edited October 29, 2013 by MilanSuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengtaiqi Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 in the bt_build node ,i don't know the Directory and the Emit option what to do. thanks good man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilanSuk Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 in the bt_build node ,i don't know the Directory and the Emit option what to do. thanks good man Please wait on v2.0.10, which will have documentation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilanSuk Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I've just installed Houdini 13. BulletSOP is running like a butter! Compiler writes few warnings(deprecated function), so I will clean up and release v2.0.10 for H12 / H13 to the week! edit: I cleaned it so source code is completely without warnings Edited October 31, 2013 by MilanSuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliencorpse Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Wow this thing is absolutley amazing. I am blown away. A couple things. It would be nice if there were more constraint types. H13 has a pretty slick workflow. It seems like you have a super constraint? It would be ncie to have types. Like Spring, Glue, and Pin, with controls to restrict movement so we can get a hinge. But maybe you have this already. Regardless I can't wait to get my stuff up on vimeo. Super awesome plugin you have here. Are we able to plug in friction attributes? This is so fast man. Holy crap. So fast. So freaking fast. Ill have more feedback for you. And a donation! Pretty amazing man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliencorpse Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hey Milan, Here is an exmaple scene of where pin constraints would come in really handy. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But my clustered pieces are acting way to stiff. I also have the stiffness set to zero. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4n15vta410jrhc7/01_Nuke_v73_Example.hipnc Again, Great work, -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilanSuk Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 nothing happened? Please wait until tomorrow or Friday It would be nice if there were more constraint types. H13 has a pretty slick workflow. It seems like you have a super constraint? It would be ncie to have types. Like Spring, Glue, and Pin, with controls to restrict movement so we can get a hinge. But maybe you have this already. BulletSOP supports 6DoF constraint(with spring activation option): http://bulletphysics.org/mediawiki-1.5.8/index.php/Constraints#Generic_6_Degrees_of_Freedom_.28DoF.29_Constraint You can change lower/higher angular/linear limits => pin, hinge, slider, .... Are we able to plug in friction attributes? Sorry I don't know, what do you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
