cybermax
v0.92 features:
- calculate mass from volume and density
- accurate calculation of centroid
- warning message when object size is under 0.1 (bullet dont like it)

I'm sure you have a lot of stuffs to do, but do you compile a linux version before v1.0 ?

or just release the source so we can compile and learn from it

this is AWESOME btw! keep it up!

I promise, next version will be for linux(gcc4.2)

Add next features:
- merge properties and merge geometry for better organize network scene


Anyway,
I discovered that the bullet has the support of thread, so I am testing and reached twice speed :shock: ( I have 4core CPU). But even so, I can not overload CPU above 60precent .
But Its faster, so COOOOL.

PS: testing some OpenCL demos and Its smoooth

Great news !

Awesome Milan!

For which version is this compiled for? latest production build?

Forget, found it in the thread.

v0.95 !!!

features:
- little new workflow (faster, versatility)
- collision matrix (object collide only with object with same group - one object can by in more group)
- kinematic body (with negative mass, and you can animate, so its possible morf dynamic->static->kinematic, etc…)
- new constraint node, which create only one constraint between objects
- merging example

I am still testing some cloth(soft body) and fluid stuff so Its not in this version.
And Sorry I still testing linux version, so this version is win64 only and H11.0.446.9(maybe older)

Documentation is WIP, so test example file and upload your sim.


In next few weeks I have to work on my bachelor work and I want to attend this challenge: http://forums.odforce.net/index.php?/topic/11709-odforce-challenge-2010/ [forums.odforce.net]

WOW!!!!

This is so awsome! Getting insane fast simulations here! Why isnt this in Houdini by default???
Greate work! Hope you will continue to make updates

Thanks!

Ok, I try destroying large huge building(20 000 objects, 200 000constraints) and I discover few critic bugs, but mainly Generation structures(and constraints) at first frame is really very slow and during simulation I get times like this:
stepBullet: 20s
updateGeometry: 25s
so update objects transformation is slow too, Bullet is faster :shock:

So I decided for drastic changes, so next version will be 5x faster(at a guess) and less memory needed. But I must create all new GUI, but speed will be awesome!!!

I write this for you, who plane large destruction. Dont use actual plugin, wait for next version.

thank you cybermax!waitting for next version

would you please compile a new version as H11.0.469 or latter?i found there are some bugs in H11.0.446,

Exciting to see all of this; cant wait for the linux version to try out your tools. Hope you can use build 499 or later as well! Thanks!

have a look at this thread,u might build this with H10, and compare speed

luoqiulin: ok, 469.

goldleaf: I using only production build, because daily includes bug(s).

horizon1231: thx, but my problem is in looping over groups(points, prims), maybe H11 is slower, but this is I can not change.

Looking forward to seeing a compiled version for Linux! groups are a problem. primitive attribute is the way to go. good luck on the changes!

larsvdb: I am working on linux version, I had some memory issue, which I solved, but now (I dont know why) I have some compiler issue(some -fPIC error). So dont afraid I work on this.



New version test:
ok, I create some optimalisation and create new Sort node, which sorting objects according primitive group. And speed is awesome.

I test on scene with 5700 boxes

Old version: convert node(33s) + properties node(62s) = 95s
New version: sort node(42s) + properties(11s) = 53s

so It is 179% speed,

BUT If you know that your objects are sorted(I copied boxes, so It is), you dont need sort node, so the final time is only 11s and It is 863% speed :shock: :shock: :shock:

Now I optimize multijoints…

edit PS: actually Its 6seconds :? not 11s and because I dont use point groups, It need less memory :!:

ok, I get a lot of question PM from you and I was hungry so finally I made some multijoints optimize and here is result:

I generate 133 760constraint(toler distance algoritm) on 5700boxes .

Old version: multijoins(30s) = 30s
New version: multijoins(1s) = 1s

3 000% increase speed. I love it.

now its time for solver …

Ok, everything is almost done. And its very very fast. I add few new examples.

I know only about one bug with kinematic body, which I fix soon.

So today v0.97 will be release!!!

PS: I go to sleep

v0.97

- compile only for H11.0.469(last production build) and Win64
- fix some bugs
- faster and clean code


If you have question or find a bug. Let me know.

Your videos are welcome !!!

This is totally awesome Milan!

Speed is really increased today.
Does the solver generate some attributes like impact, i only miss that.

cybermax

!! very very fantasic

thx


buki: not yet, but I have plane for many attribute for output. Sim driven by sim(like a dust or shattering many windows etc…)
