Whatcha think? This is *VERY* preliminary work. I may turn the chains
into studded chain instead of just cut wire chain in the future. This is
just a quick render to see what it'd look like draped over a standard white
pigment cylinder.. Any ideas to make the chain look more realistic?

It's great. Is the chain using any kind of collision detection? Would it
adapt itself to any surface I mean?

I wish.. :-) Theres a reason why it's laying on a cylinder, ya know..
:-)
Basically, I can generate flat peices,including angular ones, or ones
that 'revolve' themselves around a given point in space. In this case, they
are actually two peices. One revolving 1/4 around the origin (center of the
cylinder), and another 1/4 around <12, 0, 0>. If I only had the time to
work on things such as collision detection. :-( It'd be sweet if I could
take a sheet and 'drape' it over things. Then I wouldn't spend so much time
thinking about getting the placement just right for my IRTC image.. :-)

I remember three kinds of chain mail. Yours is the medium flexible version.
There is another kind that is stronger. I used to ride the bus to school every
day with a guy who was making a glove. It was taking him a very long time.

Yep. There are several kinds of 'weaves' you can use.. The one shown
is a 4 in 1 weave. I also have a mess around version that does a 6 in 1 and
8 in 1 weave. I'm familiar with the weaves, and even messed around with
making my own for a bit, but never finished it. To boring, like Knitting,
but with metal.. :-)

Isn't this a ring mail?

Do you have examples of other weaves?

What does "WIP" mean? I have been wondering for several months now.
I couldn't resist anymore but ask.

Pretty good for standard 4:1 mesh. For a real headache, try 6:1...
Not having read any other replies yet, I'd guess that you articulated the
chain on a row by row basis? This would mean that draping it over a
sphere would be a) a pain in the gluteus maximus, or b) effectively
impossible :)
Bye for now,
Jamie.
