from within mesh_modifiers (kernel deform.c). It copies vertices to a temporal particle system (struct SoftBody with BodyPoint structs) to do physics tricks with it. For each frame change the delta movements (based on standard ipo anim or even other deforms (later) are applied to the physics system. How to apply and calculate satisfying results is not my thing... so here I'll commu- nicate with others for. Since it's in the modifier stack, the SoftBody code can run entirely on original data (no displists!). Right now I've implemented 2 things; - "Goal" which is a per vertex value for how much the current position should take into account (goal=1 is without physics). This is a powerful method for artists to get control over what moves and not. Right now i read the vertex color for it. - And some spring stuff, which now only works based on force moving it to the originial location. This doesnt work with 'goal'... erhm. - You can re-use physics vars from engine, used right now is (in Object) - damping - springf (spring factor) - softflag (to set types, or activate softbody for it - The SoftBody pointer in struct Object is only runtime, nothing saved in file To prevent all users going to complain it doesn't work, I've hidden the functionality. :) The buttons to set softbody 'on' only show now (psst psst) when the object has name "soft" as first 4 characters. You can find the buttons in the F7 Particle Interaction Panel (which should be renamed 'physics properties' later or so. Demo file: http://www.blender.org/bf/softbody.blend
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
