Soft-Elastic Material

Hi everyone,

I am working on a Cellular Automata based elastic material. I like the outcome at the moment. It is possible to make it give interesting responses, though not seen in this video.

I would LOVE to see more info on this. Good Job!

Hi iisjreg, I am glad that you found this interesting. What is it that you would like to know?

This looks interesting. What do the black parts (or green parts) represent?

5

The colors gives me information about shear forces in the material, other slight color changes are related to stress.

I could imagine a forge game where you have to make objects with this mechanic. Looks like it has multiple states, liquid, solid en flexible. What are you going to use it for if I may ask?

SimonAlkemade, I have made forge dynamics using other techniques before. This one has one state, elastic-solid. The forge one had 3 states, controlled by cooling and heating elements. That one is now utilized in a educational project, which I seek crowdfunding to develope fully. http://www.indiegogo.com/Education-Software-for-Engineering?a=249194&i=addr
This new script can be used for many things, like a soft ground on a game, or organic characters or elastic machines etc. basically I will do what my clients want :slight_smile: . I do not usually do full games myself but work for developers with my physics based skills.

Are you going to see this script in the Asset Store.

namoricoo, I will not sell this script in the Asset Store. If anyone wants to use it, please contact me.

Thanks for the reply. I think I’ll end up using Mega-Fier stretch scripts in my project at the end of the day. Your project does look good. I hope you have a lot of success with it.

namoricoo, if your project can work with Mega-Fier, than it does not need my scripts, as they are completely different. My scripts work based on Finite Element Analysis and computes in a realistic manner how a material is deformed. They may be used to form an engineering software in the future. When you can do what you need with a simpler solution, it would be much more effective to use the simpler one.
