soft body test Blender 2.43 rc2 test

I’ve started a series of tests with the blender soft body in the new release candidate.
I’m impressed, check it out.


and test 2

The video you have requested is not available.

They look pretty good - the non-intersecting new features of the softbodies are very useful!

hey, is there a big difference between soft body in 2.42 and 2.43?

Very interesting. I’d love to see a realistic softbody shirt at sometime. i saw someone making interesting attempts earlier

yes, big difference. the cloth would have intersected and penetrated itself all over the place in blender 2.42, and the sphere wouldn’t ripple in the wind like it does now. I’ve been waiting for this for a few projects. Too bad the shatter deformer wasn’t included in this release.

This will be quite useful in several cases, a shirt on a clothesline blowing in the wind or a mass of toilet paper for example. No intersections will make it much easier.

hmm, nice but it’s the first time I notice that the cloth interacts with the object before having contact with it. In the first test the plane clearly interacts with the blue ball before hitting it both when falling down and when the ball hits it. kinda odd.

but indeed quite an improvement

cheers
