Aloha,

Thanks to Katopz (hugs), we now have a fp10 version of JigLibFlash working and away3dlite support!

I laid some ´groundwork´ for  working with height-maps and Muzer did a amazing job making it work with JigLibFlash. He also added rag-dolls using new hinge joints!
You can find the rag-dolls and height-map examples at muzer’s new homepage.
Also, I would like to thank Bartek and Devin for all the adjustments and speed improvements and much more.

JigLibFlash Needs Your Help!

Currently, we are looking for a person who could make proper documentation for jiglibflash.
If you are interested contact me: ringo at 3dsynergy dott com

You can find the updates in the regular SVN (see source tab).
If you build something add it in the comments we love to see what you can do with JigLibFlash!

Thanks to everyone in the community for all the hard work to make JigLibFlash even faster and more amazing.

Have fun…

Hi all:

There have been a few edits and additions made to the library lately:

Radians vs Degrees 

One major change is how rotation is handled. We made a few changes to the RigidBody class and the JConfig class. You as a developer now have the option to use either degrees or radians to set and get RigidBody rotations. All you have to do is specify which type you want to use by setting the JConfig.rotationType to either DEGREES or RADIANS. At the moment the JConfig.rotationType value is defaulted to DEGREES

The engine level calculations are still done with radians though (may or may not change, TBD), never the less the conversion to radians and degrees and vice versa is done at the RigidBody level. Additionally, we have added “yaw”, “pitch” and “roll” properties to the RigidBody class which also use either radians or degrees based on the JConfig.rotationType value.

New class: MouseConstraint

There has been a new class to the Papervision3D plug-in called MouseConstraint and a new example to the Papervision3D examples folder. The class basically allows you to attach a world constraint to an object and simulate dragging.

Other News

You can now also access the the PhysicsSystem directly from your instance of the plugin by accessing the “engine’ property.

What used to be:

can now be accessed as 

considering that you names your instance of the plugin “physics”.

You can now also add constraints directly from your plugin instance as so:

where as before you had to get an instance of the PhysicsSystem and add it to that.

There are also new examples on how to set up constraints and a really cool example by Muzerly on how to set up a car using the vehicles package!

Stay tuned!!

Aloha,

The 3D physics engine jiglibflash is updated and now has support for Away 3d, Papervision 3d and Sandy 3d  (thanks Thomas). If other engines would like their plug-in code included, please let me know. Lots of changes have been made which required revising the API. Please be sure to update to the most recent revision. Most of the work is done by Bartek and Reyco (nice work guys!).

At the moment we are working on examples (you can find some in the SVN already), tutorials, fixing bugs and adding some extra features.

When that’s all done we will start on the documentation, for now see http://code.google.com/p/jiglibflash/wiki/New_API_Very_Short_Tutorial.
