Conjugate curve network / Conjugate direction fields 5 Replies

Hello,lately I have been investigating on conjugate curve networks and I was surprised to find so little information on it in this forum. The little bit I found was regarding…Continue

Dynamic field of points 4 Replies

Hi all, I've been doing a uni project involving points and fields of influence. Basically what I've been trying to achieve is a series of points (A) that have a field of influence on a series of…Continue

Object Collision

Hey Daniel:I am really enjoying SPM so far. I must admit that I am still in the exploratory/getting to know stage of the process. What interested me is your object collision script that you answered…Continue

Comment by Martin Dembski on September 30, 2011 at 4:52pm: Hello Chris,

it's me again.

It would be also nice if it would be possible to sort the particles in a list with single branches for each emitter point?

Best,

Martin.

Comment by Martin Dembski on September 30, 2011 at 4:47pm: Hello Chris,

it would be nice if you could add a collision detection, so that the particles would flow around a geometry (surface and/or brep) if there is one in the way they move along. Is this possible?

I tried to simulate such a behavier as example for my students using positiv and negative gravity dynamic components but it's very tricky.

Best,

Martin.

Comment by Chris Walsh on September 30, 2011 at 2:06pm: Just a quick note that we've tested the SPM component against the latest version of GH and it does appear to be working fine. Please post any problems you may find in the discussion board if this is not the case!

Also we are looking for any feature requests you may have, we are considering a new release in the near future but want to focus on developing features that users want the most.

Comment by Philipp on August 11, 2011 at 10:29pm: waiting for new release working on gh 0.805

Comment by Daniel Hambleton on June 20, 2011 at 11:16am: New SPM release.

Collisions, scale and fall off dynamic, better acceleration...

Comment by Daniel Hambleton on April 29, 2011 at 7:41am: SPM Vector Components: Update

So, I realize that this is the third release of the SPM plugin in 7 days, but since we won’t be able to work on the project for a week or two, we thought it best just to get it out there…download it at the main link.
