Realistic Physics Simulator
-
Hello!
This is PinkSkink, Goldenfrog's sister.
Im taking a high school physics course, and for extra credit my teacher has asked me to design an experiment and simulate it in a 3d program.
The problem with sketchyphysics is that if you try to drop a ball into an ice-cream cone shaped object, it won't actually fall into the cone, but rather will sort of float above its apex. So what I really need is another physics simulator. I'm wondering if any of you guys know about such a one?
Basically, it needs to have:
[list=]The ability to simulate centripetal force (the force that pushes you to one side when your car rounds a sharp corner)
Absence of bounding boxes[/list]Thanks for your help!

You can compose various bounding box part in sketchyphysics to build a convex solid (cone shaped, donuts, etc...).
I think that many game physical engine have the same limitations, try and see... If you really want an acurate modelisation using convex solid, for free, peraphs Blender is ok ? But I never used that... -
PinkSkink and GoldenFrog. Hey at least your parents were creative!
I would also say you might want to give Blender a look or better bet would be to post your question in the Sketchy Physics section of the forum. Those guys should be able to walk you through it. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewforum.php?f=61

Thanks for the information! I think I'll do as you both suggest, and learn Blender. I already have it downloaded--I just don't know how to use it!
Thanks again!

Phun is fun for that
But it's only in 2D, maybe it's sufficient ?

Well, actually I do need 3d. But phun looks like a cool program anyway! thanks for the link!
