[Bf-committers] SoftBody Ressources...

[Daniel Barbeau]

Hello and Happy November


I don't know if the softbody guys here know about  Maciej Matyka's 
site:

http://panoramix.ift.uni.wroc.pl/~maq/eng/index.php

It's got stuff about:
-cloth (particle based)
-fluids (same...)
-realtime softbodies

with GLUT window binaries and an Online Paper (PDF too) about "How to 
Implement Pressure SoftBody Model"
though i didn't read it (surely beyond my understanding) including 
source code.

This guy seems generous enough (euphemism)...
However, for some advanced (ugh... everything is advanced) software, 
he asks some money to acces the code (from what I've read : from 6 
dollars to 10dollars, but you should read what he says... prices vary 
from one piece of code to the other). Anyway, he has many papers that 
can be inspirationnal for math'n physics dudes ;)

He also sells a CD with all his source codes (C and C++) from all the 
softs seen on the site for 35$. To see the content of the CD:
http://panoramix.ift.uni.wroc.pl/~maq/simulationscd/index.php

And I tried the softs: they work! They even work very well! The only 
instability I found is (in Fuild 1.4b), in my sense, not related to 
the simulation calculations but to the UI (or segfaults), but the 
simulations are really stable!
here's an avi exported by Fuild 1.4b:

Well enough said, have a look at that site!
