ok ERS is a young plugin and all ideas will be placed. this will need time. my dream is to work with SP and ERS together. 2009-2014 is a long time,too.
Deaneau, I respect your request, but I'm not willing to place much time on this plugin. You know, I have to work on MSPhysics the similar plugin to SketchyPhysics... The reason I fixed SP was because there are many SketchyPhysics models at 3Dwarehouse. It was hard for me to see them all be left behind.
However, nothing stops other users from improving SketchyPhysics. They may add their own features, as long as they keep author as Chris Phillips and the version tittle with Unofficial. Maybe someone wouldn't mind integrating trains into SP.
Maybe trains could be implemented into MSPhysics, but that won't happen until I release the basic version of MSPhysics, 1.0.

I'm not disputing your work, simply pointing out that your version will not be compatible with older models, a problem which none but experts will be able to fix. So in the interest of avoiding confusion this release should get a more distinctive name.
Oh, I see where you coming from.
I'm planning to add compatibility files, so that all prior models could work on SP. The compatibility files will be loaded if the detected version is not 3.3. For instance, if detected version is 3.2, then a 3.2 compatibility file be loaded, adding and all removed methods from 3.2... As well, if the detected version is 3RC1 then the compatibility file for 3RC1 be loaded. You know how some models in SP3RC1 were not working with 3.2? Well, this could be eliminated due to the compatiblity files. I'm not sure if this be possible, but we'll see. This feature could be available in 3.4. And then a descent renaming of this plugin wouldn't be required.
I repeatedly ask for Mac OS X testers! Some people reported this version doesn't work on Mac, but did not post the error message. I'm pretty sure I had all the libraries compatible with Mac, but I'm certain that there's an error somewhere. You know, I'm a human. There is no way I can write a plugin without bugs in one try. If anyone is willing to test, then please do so. I'll be graceful for yaur help.
Thanks
Hi everyone! For those that don't remember me, I did the original port of SketchyPhysics to the Mac years ago. I've been talking with Chris on and off for a few months now to see if SP was going to get re-energized. I haven't spoken with him recently but I'm sure he would find these developments exciting! I know that I do!
Anyway, I'm reaching out to offer any and all support I can to this effort to get SP 3.3 into shape and working for everyone on SU 2014. Anton, you've done an amazing job.
This release doesn't work on Mac at the moment since FFI is not directly support by the Ruby in Sketchup and an FFI bundle is not included in SP 3.3 . The Ruby that ships with SU (at least on the Mac) does support FIDDLE, which is a variant of FFI. If that is also supported on the windows version then we should consider moving to FIDDLE for SP3.3 so that it is directly supported by SU.
There are a lot of other Mac issues that Anton has documented in his findings. I'll be working on clearing those up and getting a working Mac version out as soon as I can.
Lets get this done!
-
This is really exciting!!! It even works with the Xbox controller!
-
Very well, lets get this done
-
At very least this crane works. Kudos to the coders, the modelers AND the Physicsers. Awesome, incredible work all around!

3D Warehouse
3D Warehouse is a website of searchable, pre-made 3D models that works seamlessly with SketchUp.

On Mac?

Nope sorry for the confusion, I was working on a windows machine. I was just so excited to see Sketchy Physics resurrected (:)).

yo, u done it, i already notice.
thank u bro, u did good job very well.
now we can wait for MSPhysics and cloth simulation XD. -

What great news, thank you so much for the update, Chris!
Just one issue: Exporting a Sketchy Replay animation does not seem to work (see screenshot).
Any idea how to resolve this? Many thanks & greetings from Cologne!

Thanks for the swift reply, Anton!

Mr.K. has posted working solutions for camera recording and Sketchy Replay in this forum. Maybe you can integrate them in to your improved version of SP. Thank you for bringing Sketchy Physics back to life!

No probs! Already fixed it. Will see in next update

Great! I found the post: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61%26amp;t=36029%26amp;p=341925#p317654
Will investigate -
Oh that old mod I made... wouldn't use it as more then a reference point(i.e. which SP parts govern recordings), but what I made was all one shot working in very specific conditions code.
-
This amazing!!!!! Thanks Anton. Regrettable it does not work Mr.K. mouse script. But it is super that extension.
I had almost forgotten this plugin....
Thank you again!

Hello,
I am using Sketchup 14.1.1282 and Windows 8, all 64bits.
I guess I'm supposed to download/extract into Google/Google Sketchup 8/ plugins and then find there :Sketchyphysics (directory)
SketchyPhysics.rb (file)and... just launch Sketchup ?
What else if SU doesn't see Sketchyphysics ?
Maybe I missed something ?Thank you all for your help, and Anton for his labor.

You say you have SU 2014, but posted in SU8 plugins folder. SU2014 has its ow plugins folder: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
Keep in mind this release works on Windows only and has some bugs that I created while rewriting the code. Next release will be better.

Hi Anton, great stuff. Any chance you can enhance the output so that it can be rendered in a program like Kerkythea or Thea or .....
I had a long work around to get it into to Kerkythea but it was a pain to do long animations.
Here is a quick render from Kerkythea using SKPH.
Thanks!

I'll look into, but can't promise anything.
