I'm impressed. Of course I don't know anything about physics and very little of what you say sinks into my brain. But I'm still impressed and I want to be able to do things like this too.
Casual, you are a legend!
moderately too-high poly chains for Amy's bike ( about 8K polys nothing tragic )
today shall be the day where amy rides down the smooth ramp
and possibly where the bike gets motorized ( maybe an invisible motor, maybe Amy pedaling )
Well Amy would need to keep feet ON the pedals or "far from" as the pedals on their own would rotate as fast as necessary for the wheels' actions. Pedals can be held still by feet on them. Wheels turn on their own anyway.
well i guess the descent video will have to wait another day
Amy may have to give up the heels and wear sneakers ... it's not decided yet
I swear I can see her thigh muscles moving as she pedals.
new mag wheelz
should look better in videos ( less reverse-rotating-wagon wheel effects )
animating the bike steering was made ( moderately ) easy using the following free scripts available on my site
mcjMakeTarget - to create target nodes at the exact position of the hand joints
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjmaketarget
mcjParent - to parent the targets to the handlebar
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts3/mcjparent
mcjCycleFilter to get smooth ( sinewave ) rotations of the abdomen
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjcyclefilter
mcjAutoLimb to makeThe hands follow the hand targets
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjautolimb
mcjHoldOn - https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts2/mcjholdo
to keep her hands gripping the handle bars
mcjKeepOrient - to keep her neck/head looking in the same direction as the abdomen twists and turns
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjkeeporient
And avoiding every pebble on the road ;-)
new Video ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xVN3h0mH4A
i corrected the hair issue but the snappy-arms issue surfaced
well ... it;s supposed to be about the bike
in theory
It is a nicer pace though ...
That any of all that works is amazing to those of us who haven't a clue how to write scripts! Great work.
I think she needs a push! lol %-P
trying to quickly cook some sneakers for Amy
now that Amy has her new bike. new wheels, new wedge-sneakers ... we return to the physics .... jump !
( the new thing being the triangle mesh ramp/collision surface
big (seemingly ) video ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fySqnoESMnQ
tis related to the physics simulator so it's not like i'm spamming at all :)
Can't spam your own thread, geez ;-) Looks good ... yes, {we hope} there's always tomorrow!
experimental conditions
this table shows the data submitted to the bullet-physics engine by the daz studio script
Amy taking tremendous risks for Science
That really puts the "OW!" in "WOW!" :bug:
luckily the time machine saves her just before she hits the ground
lab video !
see for 20 frames it all goes well
then i have to rescue her using the time machine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwGMQC27Iak
better higher faster
HAHAHA. You sound so Hollyweird!
She's going to require a parachute! lol ....
ladies and gentlemen we have jump
and it was not easy, i had to try different masses for the wheels and bike body
the thing is, i'm using hinges but bullet-physics includes something specifically adapted to vehicles
they call it something like ray-casters, the cars are sliding along the ground, suspended on , lets call it vertical jets
video too !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLoivFy4o0k
Did find this free plane that comes with breaking parachutes [haven't checked the files myself, hopefully all there] Might help the landing ;-)
the plan if time permits is that she'll splash in the ocean or even SecondLife's animated sea
Okay. Hope the water's deep ;-)
we saw
- hinge between a body and the world ( swing set )
- hinge with suspension and steering
today : hinge between two bodies
presently figuring the way axis and positions are to be specified
note that Amy ( Aiko3 ) was not part of the simulation, i animated her using the scripts mcjKeepOrient and mcjParent
The "feet on pedals" part made me think of one thing... would be possible in the future to apply it to the pedals of a car?
