[Bf-python] Hi, Tatsuya

[Tatsuya Nakamura]

Hi, Willian.

Thank you for your mail.
Yes, I had worked for a cloth simulation three years ago when I was 
working for the legendary Not a Number. :-)  More exactely, I had ported 
"topix cloth simulation" to the Python on Blender 2.0X.
Here is my topixcloth plug-in page released at that time.:
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/viz/max/topix/Topix.html
Please be aware that the sample file on this page will NOT work on 
Blender 2.2x because I had compiled the source with Python 1.x. I guess 
that it will work on Blender 2.28 if you compile its source with Python 
2.x, though I had not tried yet. And also, It is not a complete port and 
there are some restrictions I mentioned on that page.

Unfortunately, I had not worked for any kind of cloth simulation after I 
put it on the web. However, I believe that Blender is really good 
platform to implement this kind of simulation. And my page about the 
flock simulation you mentioned is still here. (I'm glad that you like it!):
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/viz/max/flock/Flock.html
The plug-in binary on the page was compiled with Python 1.x  and you 
need to re-compile with Python 2.x if you want to run it on Blender 
2.2x. I had already tried to re-compiled it with Python 2.x and it 
worked on Blender 2.27. You can download its source from the page.

I'd like to try again these kinds of plug-in on Blender 2.2x in near 
future, however, I have to finish my Blender Japanese reference before 
my plug-in development. As you already read in this ML, I have some 
questions to solve. Please help me just for my future. ;-)
