[IDEA] Skatter + MS physics ?
-
Hi all,
I just came across this 3ds max plugin : PhysX Painter
It's a really interesting tool, based on an object painter and a simple rigid body engine.
I was wondering if something like that seems to be possible in sketchup, maybe an half breed between Skatter and MS physics..
What do you think ?

You can do just that
Use Skatter to place the objects, then use SP/MSPhysics on the generated objects. -
Well, you're right Jiminy, it works !
I did a quick test with leaves found on the warehouse, a basic ground surface, and a quick Skatter setup. It's efficient on the skatter side, but take long (about 5min on a good configuration), to calculate the physic part. Maybe there are way to improve that, I'm not an MSphysics expert...
Before the physic drop

Great experiment! Select all leaves and define their bodies as a box, then the simulation is faster. Playing with different materials is fun. Now you just need a little wind.

Cool guys!

And seems replace random components by Sdmitch can make some tricks shown on the video!
