Admin Rodney Posted January 27, 2018 Author Admin Share Posted January 27, 2018 same basic thing... just more leafy... I see some patterning in there so best to try to remove that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted January 27, 2018 Author Admin Share Posted January 27, 2018 Because the swatch is a grid... it doesn't have to be flat. Not exactly sure what this thing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted January 27, 2018 Author Admin Share Posted January 27, 2018 I thought this one would look like fall leaves when rendered... It didn't. (The orange thing is the one that appeared in the Chor window) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted April 10, 2018 Author Admin Share Posted April 10, 2018 Harun's progress in his ToaA:M Journal has me playing with Simcloth and (as per usual) I tend to use the feature for things not intented... Here's an example of Simcloth used to shatter some tiled bricks. And of course that in and of itself was an experiment as well as every tile began as a five point patch (I thought... why not?). I played around with several Simcloth setups and have some ideas in mind for future tests. I feel a bit like our favorite tinkering gnome here. Stop in and check out Harun's work here: https://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48277 Disclaimer: If you do download this file be aware that this project file is a mess. I was testing some rendering options and didn't bother resetting or organizing anything. 5 PointMeshSmash.prj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted April 10, 2018 Author Admin Share Posted April 10, 2018 The first Choreography in that Project is the results of this quick test wherein the transparent sphere used to break the tiles apart is revealed. The second Chor uses two invisible spheres. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Nice, Rodney! I could see some variation of that being used in a space battle to show something breaking apart on a ship's shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildsided Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 That's pretty awesome Rodney. I'd experiment with Simcloth more but it makes my Laptop cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted April 11, 2018 Author Admin Share Posted April 11, 2018 I'd experiment with Simcloth more but it makes my Laptop cry It shouldn't. Perhaps we need to investigate the whys and wherefores. I only have something like 11.5GB of acessible working memory and I tend to leave multtiple programs open and dozens of websites unclosed... and Simcloth is still quite responsive. Another thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the texturing, lighting and such can be done after the simulation. So it's a lot like working with group of models. The thing I try to remind myself is that simulation is the first step in creating the resource that will be used later and that often won't require any simulation at all. For instance, I might want to extract two or three frames of a sequence as a background... no need for me to use them all. I will say that the project file I posted is unnecessarily complex so if you have tried that... my apologies as it's a bit large. It's multiple choreographies with fully simulated data.

Admin Rodney Posted April 16, 2020 Author Admin Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yikes! I haven't posted here in the Tuckertown topic in almost exactly two years. The other day I thought I'd model an unfolded cardboard box and rig it so it could be folded... and ended up doing a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 16, 2020 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 16, 2020 Boom! I have previously wondered about using A:M to prototype "pop-up" greeting cards. You've got me thinking about that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted March 9 Author Admin Share Posted March 9 I was doing a Google Map search on various places and I thought... hmmm... Tuckertown... I wonder if the sign is viewable. And... it is! It's a little hard to read but the sign is still there. I see varioius mentions of Tuckertown and Tuckerville online but none I've seen thus far are THIS Tuckertown.
