Today’s update on Stok3d is perhaps not as useful as the previous post, but I certainly had fun working on it. Or as we say in Dutch with a word blatantly stolen from German: it’s “spielerei”. Demos: I’m going to post the demos first this time. Saves you some scrolling effort, because the explanations below…
When looking at my blog stats, the most popular post by far is the old Ripple effect I did some time ago, which was based on an old demoscene trick. For a while, I’ve wanted to do a more physically correct version based on shallow water equations. Since the watercolour effect I did was based…
Thanks to Ralph Hauwert’s blogpost pushing a baffling >300.000 particles using Alchemy, I finally got the much needed motivation to try out Alchemy myself. To be able to get started asap, I decided to return to something I’ve done before: fluid and smoke dynamics, but with a different algorithm (see Mike West’s article on Gamedev).…
On a rare occasion, instead of posting code and experiments, I like to post some things I’ve done at my job. Especially when it illustrates a practical use of some of my earlier experiments. So here we go! For a project for the University of Ghent at Nascom (via Saatchi & Saatchi), I had to create…
A project I’m currently involved in inspired me to completely rewrite my old Curtain class into something more stable and versatile. Using a character physics method based on Verlet integration, and adding some properties for friction and gravity, it resulted in a 2D cloth simulation (at least after some updates I just did since I needed…
