3D Physics Engine Jiglibflash update for flash 11 incubator build with Away3D 4.0 Broomstick support
In: General
27 Feb 2011Aloha,
We are pleased to announce that we just released a new version of jiglibflash, which currently supports Away3D 4.0 Broomstick.
You can find it in the jiglibflash SVN under the fp11 tag.
New in this version:
- Support for Away3D 4.0 broomstick;
- Grid system, which improves the time used for a simulation step when you have lots of objects. In the grid system example you can see that it’s about 15 times faster then before;
- JTriangleMesh, use any 3D model as a rigidbody, see trianglemesh example (the ramp /ground etc.);
- new stats counter with Physics and 3D information.
Tech examples (make sure you have installed the new flash player incubator ) :
- Grid system
- Trianglemesh
- Stack demo
- Terrain
- Car Drive
I want to thank Muzer and Devin for their great work on this release, and the Away3D team for having us in their closed beta.
If you have a demo or game done, send me a email jiglibflash at ringo.nl or post a comment. I will try to maintain a list of it.
Thanks and have fun,

Thanks for all your hard work! I use away3d and jiglib all the time and as a Molehill “expert” I am overjoyed that you have included Broomstick support. Just wanted to send you a quick note saying THANK YOU. =D

@Breakdance McFunkypants looking forward to your book!:)
@Flastar, thank you !
@Seraf
I remember when your ‘WOW’ was about to release, siting in this chair dying to play with it, was a great moment:)
You are always welcome in our team eh!:)
Cheers,
Ringo.

Jiglibflash will in future support Alternativa3D ?

We are open for all 3D Engines and waiting for other 3D engines to join.

@Ringo well as a demo maker

I’m getting some low performance figures on the the Jiglib Broomstick demos.
Firefox 3.6.13.
Incubator 11.0.0.58
FPS as low as 1 & 2.
All of the other Molehill demos are working with no issues. Obviously Jiglib is software rendered – but there should be much more juice available for physics processing.
Any ideas what is happening?
(Yes – hardware acceleration is enabled)
I see other posters are getting good results so I guess it is probably me.

Wow!
WOW!!
This is amazing. I can’t believe how quickly things are moving with Molehill. The demos are fantastic, and they run so smoothly!
I’m going to make so many kick-ass games now! I’m not sure if I want to run over zombies in a monster truck or fly spaceships (still no CCD right?), but at least now I know it won’t murder people’s CPUs!

Many thanks guys ,you are awesome.The only reason I was not using JigLib till now is it was terribly slow. I suppose it become a distant legacy now!

Any chance we can see some speed increases with Alchemy?

@Trent: Our next step will be to see how to improve the performance.
The grid system can do a lot already but with all the options we have now I am sure we can improve it even further.

@Swingpants: Not sure, what CPU are you on and what demo was slow ?
Maybe you had other examples / programs open at the time? Hope we can solve the issue for you.

Can’t wait for the haxe port!

@Swingpants check your fp11 configs .Make sure you set wmode=direct
I have all the examples steady 60/60 . Intel dual core 4 g ram windows xp 64bit firefox 3.6

You guys have been hard at work this is the most fantastic update of all time!! It’s been extremely hard getting the JS port back into sync, still a little ways to go. What do you guys use as an issue tracker? I’d be nice to let you know any errors I spot during porting.

The Excellent physics!!! there is collisions with triangle. Nice!!!

Nice jobs guys.
But where can we find the source code for the TriangleMesh Demo, it will be great the have a source to start from .

Awesome work, but I’ve found a critical bug when using certain OBJ files – bug posted here: http://code.google.com/p/jiglibflash/issues/detail?id=19
Can you please take a look when you have a moment?

I just saw the grid system example, i think that’ll solve my performance problem.
Gonna test it tonight and see if i can mantain 50-60fps with ~100 boxes in the stage.
Thanks for the great engine!

The fp11 branch can work without Molehill right? Are there any Molehill dependencies?

Lately I have found this tool and I sort of enjoy playing with it.
But the question is: Is it still developed? I don’t see any updates and I’m not sure whether I should keep my hopes up.
Also, the thing I miss the most is JTriangleMesh collisions, at least convex ones with uniform mass distribution (I know you have collisions against JTriangleMesh, but I would love to see the convex mesh colliding against things as well).
