I can’t really say how much you’ll get out of these slides if you didn’t see the presentation, but if you saw it, you’ll at least be able to see some of the code that I kind of rushed through.

Also, at the end of my presentation, I showed off this little app I created:

And some models you can download then load into the system.

Note that you must have Flash 10 player for this to do any loading or saving of models. Also, you’ll need the very latest beta release version from labs to avoid one bug in saving. Otherwise if you save a file with the same name as an earlier file it will append the xml rather than overwriting it. If you save to a new file name, you should be fine. But again, the latest player build fixes this. Have fun!
And if you come up with any cool models, send them to me and maybe I’ll post them on the models page.
Hi Keith,
I tried to open the pdf, only to get : “this file is damaged and could not be repaired”. Maybe I have an ancient pdf reader, maybe it’s my pc. I’m super curious to see those code snippets, I recreated your examples, my sticks work, my triangles “work” 50% of the time, the other 50 they just freak out and wobble all over the place…
ah, sorry to spam your blog, the problem was that I took the code directly from the gamasutra article, the guy multiplies his delta with a mystery .5, (delta*0.5*diff) when calculating the stick difference… I lowered it to .2 and the craziness seems to be gone 🙂 I still wanna see the slides though 🙂
pdf works for me. update your acrobat or whatever. 🙂
well i think somthing is wrong understood…
.5 is beacause you have a lieson.
a -> b (a hoked to b) .5
b <- a (b hoked to a) .5
there are 2 forces
I have to remember that is relly usefull using a (1/n) dump in the k force.
where n is the number of edges that hook a movie to anothers .
Well, i tried to recreate the sample by myself… (not the entire ide…)
I think somthing is wrong.
I will post it, with code, on my web site tomorrow (well for me tooday but now is bed time 😐 ).

here you are my verlet program … you can look inside it 😉
ceque also my homepage… you can find a verlet model of me somwhere.
Thanks for posting those slides 🙂 very interesting as usual
