sorry...

Forum author Mr. K. has implemented a script into a cube that allows the simultaneous run of a physics simulation and scene transition. Here is a test video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FefrAAGfpU With proper adjustment of the scenes and the transition rate in the script, the simulation can run very smart.

Cheers mate.

Good job! Anton Thank you so much!

I exported the SP animation to KerkyThea and rendered directly. Kerkythea saved everyframe to my desktop within a folder (which is starting with "Anim_*") in jpg format. Then I used the free MakeAVI software to merge all the jpg's as a movie. I am not happy with the quality and the flickering of the shadows. I don't know how to fine tune KerkyThea.

I'm no expert but, just as you can't copy joints and expect them to work, perhaps there is a limit to the number of times you can drag a copy. Why not try a smaller number of links, then copy that entire length rather than just to last 2 links or so. You might have to change your model status to 'compound 2'. As I said, I'm no expert. Edit. make sure your individual links are solid.

I have a similar problem to Redblock. Where does one change the world scale, and ditto the query about over-sized joints when working on small dimension models. I'm working on a bicycle chain of approximate true size. Anton, tried your idea but nought came of it. BTW, using SP3.5.6 in SU2014

Thanks Anton. Not quite right but I'll have a go myself now that I've up-graded to SP3.5.6 I notice that I have to modify some parts so will changing them, change your animation. ie, hide the control lever that now comes through the side of the fuselage due to a narrowed nose section, or adding the cut-outs in the floor to accept the wheel? As for the mains, I thought I left an angled torque drive to show rotation axis. Never mind, as I said, I'll give it a go myself. Once again, cheers.

Thank you for the help! I'm glad you could help me out! I feel I have learned a lot in just the short time since I have started and you have helped me improve. Happy the community here is helpful. Thank you

Thanks TIGer .. it worked for me too.. somebody on the search told to rename zip to rbz.. and then it will work. but didn't work. your link to the extension working greatly. Thanks

OK , I got it .... [image: Gsgs_Camcam.gif]

@o0rico0o said: Great, I've them all connected up but, disabled the static property but they remain fixed. Can This be changed? I need them to move rather than remain static? How can I make this possible? Disabling static property of the joint won't do anything. If you want the joint to move, you need to create it inside the desired parent body. Specifically, one level deep inside the group. Then connect the joint to the desired child body, using the joint connection tool.

I have the same problem! The dialog box is blue, and I can't write anything, it says me: "Script Error: uninitialized constant MSketchyPhysics3::ControllerContext::Main".

Thanks Anton. I hadn't noticed that group conflict.Will fix it when I'm ready to add the rest of the system. Again, thanks for your tuition, just hope my 72 year old brain can remember it.

Maybe the debug function is activated? [image: dxRQ_spdebug.jpg]

Fixed. Made the under-carriage assembly 'magnetic'. Works like my dream now.

@anton_s said: I like it. Performance is very bad due to many objects, but that's what realism requires... Good job! Thank you. Yeah the performance is horrible, i think its all the rocks. I dabbled with unity3d for a bit to try and make a game, but that went downhill quick Thank you again for the help John

There was no export to video option. You can export to multiple PNG files and combine them into an AVI using MakeAVI.

So it is. And now everyone can see what efforts we take to plan (to sweat out, to squeeze out) these wonderful settlements. I am not ashamed. PS: Could you post a picture of this estate. Maybe I remember.

Here is another version which allows you to shatter same slab multiple times. slabshatters_v2.skp
