Ts Needs Cloth Simulation!! // Feature suggestions 1  2  |   Order by default Post by nowherebrain // May 7, 2007, 3:05pm nowherebrain Total Posts: 1062 with sripting in ts it gets really fustrating when you are not sure what variables it can possibly take. basically the jsript doesnt bug me but mostly that i didnt feel like there was enough documentation. sorry if its not clear im typing on a cell phone my only means of internet at the moment. First off, that's a real pain(cell phone conection)...try it while you are driving(on second thought...DON'T try it while driving).. Second, do you know any good resources for VB/J script??? I am of decent intelligence, but simple things get by me on occasion...when I first started I couldn't figure out the difference between a local and a global variable..lol.

Thats very necesary at this point... :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: Or at least the ability to import simulation data for rendering so we can use our preferred third-party simulation solution. Not as important for cloth, maybe, but for fluid and softbody simulation it would open up a world of possibilities for working with trueSpace in a professional sense where it's okay to spend $5k on a program that does just one thing, like fluid or particle motion simulation - as opposed to a hobbyist sense, where that seems kind of outrageous. And that's a goal, right? More professionals using trueSpace? Post by splinters // Jun 2, 2007, 12:26am splinters Total Posts: 4148 Kudos! Try and catch splinters... I'm really flagging recently... :rolleyes: Anyway, back to cloth simulation...yes please, it would be a real asset to trueSpace (and my characters :D ).

I believe it is possible but it would be very very slow. If you want to manage the springs between the vertexes The wind. The gravity. The stiffness. Collisions with itself and other objects. (As a simulation, you could make a cloth with simple bones some hundred bones would be a good start:rolleyes: ) I think only the Caligari developers would be able to programm it for us. Because they can compile the functions and don't need to script in VBScript or JSScript.

Because they can compile the functions and don't need to script in VBScript or JSScript. So as it stands, the LE is the primary means for anyone "non-Caligari" to create plug ins? No API is in the works? JavaScript and VB...that's it? Post by nowherebrain // Jun 9, 2007, 6:50am nowherebrain Total Posts: 1062 Some weeks ago I was a little busy with cloths for TS.

Yes, I had this thought too...basically 4 bones would conrol each vert. with a 25% influence each..the bones on the non-manifold edges could be assigned alternate attributes..like sticky or drag etc... assigning to every other vert is more feesable though and wopuld look better..but this would be slow probably. Good ideas though.
