"You won't be able to see the wood break in half, but you would be able to get the force applied on an object."

That sounds great, I'm in it for the data not the visuals...

This will be crazy awesome, please pick me if you need testers as I would love to play with this.

I'll post a beta version someday.

Someday?

Maybe in a couple of months.

This is the internet... If there's no Beta, it didn't happen.

The aim of writing this plugin is to bring SketchyPhysics back!

Great idea

You know what? I don't care if you think it doesn't exist. I'm good as long as you're not planning to hack into my PC and steal the files.

Hello guys,

I posted the first alpha version. There are still a lot of things to be worked on, but I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to upload updates as I go.

Go to the first post and read all the compatibility and requirements, as this plugin is not user friendly yet.

As far as uploading it to GitHub, it will be in a matter of days.

I haven't yet created joints, and the dialog, but you can test destructing building and such things...

Have a nice day!

Fist test VERY promising!

Very nice. First test no problems. Considering modelling a pachinko machine...

It's awesome. I'm testing, but my blocks fall into infinity (the boundary surface drops as well) . I do not know how to make a surface to retain them. How I can fix it? Could you stop the simulation and save the drawing? Thank you!

cotty

You need a static mesh (context menu).

It states in the status text to use SHIFT key to lift objects.
You can use ESC to quit and Break/Pause button to toggle play.

Can it do soft bodies too?

Can you explain this a little more detail?

Say I want to fill a bowl with marbles, how can that be done?

Select your bowl, in the context menu choose "static" in "state", and "coumpound from mesh" in "shape".

Newton 3.12 has that feature, but its unfinished. I might integrate it into MSPhysics when its finished.

Select your bowl, in the context menu choose "static" in "state", and "coumpound from mesh" in "shape".

Compound from mesh bodies are not recommended, as complex bodies could generate improper collisions. You might set a bowl static mesh, but make sure that the front faces are always facing out because the front faces are the only faces that generate the collisions, not the back faces.
