   Thanks for acknowledging that some of this is hard. This one is *really* hard. There are a few things here that LSynth has no idea about:

1. Gravity 2. string/hose stretch 3. Constraint volumes (e.g. the volume and shape of the 2x4 brick)

This last one is very hard. I’ll have to learn a whole bunch of new stuff if I’m going to get this one implemented.

If someone else out there is up for the challenge I’d be happy to work with them to add this capability to lsynth.


Hi Kevin,

My research is on the deformation of flexible structures (like rods, hoses etc.). I’d be happy to do some work on integrating some of these models into lsynth. If anyone is interested, here is a link to some of my work (http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0960-1317/15/1/012-free access for most universities). I also have worked on some other models (compressed tyres anyone?).

Tim

Tim,

This is awesome! Are you familiar with how synthesis specifications are described for LSynth?

I guess I could imagine:

0 SYNTH BEGIN STRINGMESH 0 // add your constraints here 0 SYNTH END

The constraints would have to include what the mesh is attached to, and also the things that are in the mesh.

This would be fabulous. Also being able to apply gravity to many of the existing synthesis types would be great.

Welcome aboard!

Kevin
