LOVE THE MUSIC....and of course the animation. What a wonderful tribute to a great effort by AS.

First off.....Awesome to see this inspired project continuing....

Taking the lazy man's way out here in asking how the "connect closest joints" functionality works for a body. Along with the "make joint unique option" this seems to open up a whole new world for sketchy physics fun.

Cheers and thanks to AS, cPhillips and the community at large!

I see you tested it with SU2015...this confuses me. Were you using the 64 bit version of sketchup? Which Sketchy Physics download did you use? Thanks.

Hey all. So it turns out that to do a pretty good animation in google earth (remember google) is a set of time stepped collada files. My question is, is there a simple way to automate the output of sketchy physics to output collada files? Thanks in advance for your collectively brilliant thoughts.

Stupendous. Can't wait to try it and of course add some Lasers. Absolutely stupendous. Kudos to y'all Anton and Chris Phillips.

Yes I think it is possible as at very least you have full access to the Ruby Suite from within sketchy physics. I'm looking forward to the more informed responses to this post but model away.

You might try changing the worldscale in the sketchy physics settings. I'm nowhere near a current sketchup installation or I would try it and tell you the outcome.

I noticed that Processing (2) has added some moviemaking from images capabilities. As Processing has risen to the top of mylist (along with the new improved SK physics) I will be curious to hear if others are using Processing with SK physics.

Any suggestions on how to control the "split" function so that one can parameterize the breaking of objects(where they split)? and BTW Awesome work on reviving Sketchy Physics.

slabshatters.skp

mod = Sketchup.active_model # Open model
ent = mod.entities # All entities in model
sel = mod.selection # Current selection
view = mod.active_view
tran1a=[1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1]
tran1=Geom;;Transformation.new(tran1a)
tran2a=[5200,0,0,0,0,75,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1]
tran2=Geom;;Transformation.new(tran2a)
for i in 1..100 do
    tr=Geom;;Transformation.interpolate(tran1,tran2,i*0.01)
    ent[0].transformation=tr
    newview=view.refresh
    sleep 0.01
    puts i
end

This does not seem to refresh the screen with every view.refresh. Any suggestions/explanations?
(for this application the intent is to growing a unit cube(the first entity) which I intended to iterate in 100 steps.
