Its what I used to sculpt Frank here:

Also I was covering a cabaret tonight, but I'm sure sword swallowing and knife throwing photos wouldn't fit in with all the computer stuff.

there's an elasticity coefficient that determines how "bouncy" the particles are when they hit each other. the higher the number, the less energy they lose when they collide. for that simulation it was 0.05, which is pretty low. 0.0 = no elasticity, so if a particle were to hit, say, the ground, it wouldn't bounce at all, whereas a particle with 1.0 elasticity would bounce forever.

they're also "bouncy" because of the way the physics system works. it's a discrete step solver, meaning it moves each particle just a little bit according to its velocity and direction, then checks for collisions, deals with those collisions (calculating new velocities and directions, etc.), then moves the particles a little again, and so on.

a consequence of this is that particles can wind up overlapping after the move portion of each step, and if that happens they get forced apart until they stop overlapping, which can cause them to then overlap with different particles on the next step, in turn causing a cascade of particles overlapping and then being forced apart, which is part of the reason there's the big *POOF* of particles in that simulation.

but i came up with an even cooler one, but which suffers pretty badly from a combination of bouncy particles and the aforementioned overlap cascade:

i wasn't really sure what to expect with that one (~45 minutes to simulate & render), and was hoping for something like the effect at the end of each level in Doom where it would just slide down the screen and come apart, but this was pretty

this is great, thanks for the answer!

I use the sculpting part of blender, I like the dynotopo feature. I just don't have the patience for great modelling usually. I'll post some horrendous poo poo I've made another time

blender and luxrender are what I use and they are open source and currently maintained. the initial learning curve is a bit steep but once u get the hang it's fine and I can answer the questions

yeah I like te low poly poo poo, and have done a fair bit but I still don't tend to have the patience to make poo poo look good,

ironically I can spend hours fiddling with variables to get the render to look better :/

thank u. i take a lot of photos and do a lot of video stuff, but it's all hybrid things - either digitizing and editing old VHS and betacam tapes, or taking photos and scanning and editing them.

at times I'm not sure how sure to react yo your pictures. im always intrigued by each image but not always sure why... and in part they make me feel not good enough to view them, or not good enough coz i don't get them? idk.. america has lots of photo opportunities but its amazing how america is always america... drat son. thanks

i started like the 5th iteration after deciding that I needed to simplify significantly if I ever wanted to finish it at all. but then I remembered all the cool things I had done that werent in this one. and I couldnt make up my mind abuot things or get things looking the way I wanted because I am terrible at 3d modelling. i have tumblr blogged about my intentions lots but they never pan out

im still proud of what I managed to ahcieve

3D renderings + beep boop music = demo type thing

the 'scene' probably has tons of rules about rendering in realtime and stuff, but just make things that look and sound cool and upload to youtub.

blender is surprisngly capable at sculpting and it had a dynamic topology thing where you can just add mesh density on the fly when sculpting depending on your needs which is actually a handy as gently caress feature . it's not as good at millions of polys like the pro apps but fine for what you're wanna do I suspect and then also u have direct rendering pipeline rather than relying in something else

scultpris might be capable too but it feels like a toy, like baby's first sculpting
