Description

Here is a brief presentation of one of my animation and physics simulation projects, during my last year of study at the University of Marne-la-Vallée (France). Final application includes:

Mass-spring systems, to be included "one element at a time" or by module. Modules are integrated systems, such as 'table cloth' which simulates a textile rectangle.
Particles systems (Fully connected system with specific rules).
Management of 'standard' collisions (kinetic type).
Management of 'prolonged contacts' collisions.
3D rendering (OpenGL and SDL).
C++ cross-plateform code (Tested under Windows and Linux).
3D scene and physics elements are described using a simple text file.

Results

Warning: "Work In Progress"! The videos only show results in development phase. These do not show the full potential of the final project.

Available videos (DivX and XviD codecs):

Table cloth in the wind (Wind simulated using an invisible particle system)
Collision between two spheres and a table cloth
Testing 'table cloth' and particles systems
Testing a dense particles system (Used for debugging)
Testing prolonged contacts (Note: there is a difference between physical and graphical planes, which gives the impression the sphere goes through the wall on the right)
"Torn apart!", mass-spring system with a threshold
