I like very much this simulation as well as the radiosity. Excellent!

Looks very good.  Must have thaken quite some time to render...

Some information about the simulation settings would be great.

Thankyou

No, i used +A0.3, that's all, not a high enough quality really.

I agree. I don't feel in control of the parameters yet, really.

Hmmm.. I don't think I know how to make a cylinder shape just yet... blocks are my
limit at
the moment. I shall have a think about it.

All the best,

Thank you. No, actually simulation and render times were very low.

> Some information about the simulation settings would be great.

I used step_count 1200 and a time_step (1/25)/1200, the 'block' was <12,12,2>, each
frame took
approx 30 seconds, including simulation and rendering. 265 frames in all IIRC.

All the best,

That is really cool. I bet it was a lot of fun creating it and seeing it
work.

Being a bit of a nOOb in the area of compiling source code and not managing
to find any info on Christophs home page could you tell me what I need to do
:)

Thx

Dave

Thanks... yes, it was.

A compiled command-line executable is available on Christoph's page, here:
http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0013390/simpov/

If you try and get things to work without properly reading the documentation (like I
did ;-)),
be aware that you have to run the scene files first with +kff1 (to initialise the
meshes), and
then with +kffn (n being whatever number of frames you wish to be your anims length).

If you have any other problems, just ask, as I probably had the same ones too.

All the best,

Andy Cocker
