New demo

[Humus]

Simulating flags in the wind.

Looks pretty.

Well done.

Btw, is there any collision detection? I think I saw it clip through itself on some occations.

great demo humus, its great looking! I cant wait for more cloth rendering to be done like this.

 

[DeathKnight]

Yep, it clips itself once in a while. Neat effect when the flag changes too

Almost looks like a real flag blowing in the wind (little rough). Good work!

Wow! This was much better than I thought it would be. Excellent demo. They just keep getting better and better Humus.

No. Would be quite complex to add. So it does clip through occasionally.

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

I applaud your work Humus. Thanks for sharing it to us!

 

[Mendel]

Nice! How about letting us control the wind though?

 

[Humus]

Not sure how to make a good UI for that, could add some console commands for angle and strength though.

I wonder how can a double post occur several hours after the first post

Well, that would keep you busy then, eh?

You fooled me for a second. I thought something went wrong with the physics when the flag fell. Of course I realized everything was ok when the flag changed.

I prefer to just move along with something else that's more interesting.

How about w,a,s,d?


w=stronger wind
s=weaker wind
d=rotate wind direction clockwise
a=rotate wind direction counter-clockwise
q and e = more rotation keys (you need horizontal and vertical)

Or on the other hand, why not make wasd default for moving and let cursors control the wind accordingly.

Or maybe control wind direction with mouse whenever a selection was made to cotrol wind instead of camera? (through menu or hotkey)
In fact I would question the need for freely movable camera in this demo altogether. Maybe some static camera angles would do the job just as nicely!


Or maybe even some sliderbars! You ever played dismount? http://jet.ro/dismount/

Oh and some simple background gfx wouldn't hurt. Seeing the shadow of the flag on the ground could be cool. But i guess all this is starting to get way past the original point of this particular demo, so i'll just crawl back to my cave.
