@tkdmatt,

Framerate issue confirmed. I have tested the creation of Rigid Body primitives with the original toolset and Hull/Mesh shapes with my Build tools - with the scene framerate set to 25, 50, and 30. None of these framerates work properly - the resulting Rigid Bodies remain at the world origin and cannot be repositioned.

There must be something hard coded into the dRigidBody node as generated via the plugin. I will submit a bug report. Looks like 24FPS is the workaround for now...

Thanks for clearing that up mBakr. You should put a note about that in the help of your next version of your toolset, I gave up on rbd tools multiple times because of that bug until I sat down and tested everything.

Cheers, Matt.

@tkdmatt

no problem. the next release will have a few more features and hopefully a few less bugs .

Hello,
there is a problem with the constraints of the tool. When I select two objects for use any type of constraint,only the first element is constrained.

The original DynamicaUI dont have this problem. I think must be this sentence:
string $selection[] = `ls -selection -hd 1 -dag -leaf -showType -type "geometry"`; //MB added -hd 1 to fix problem with dRigidBody child nodes

and the new -hd flag in the constraints functions.

Thanks!

yes. The fix for constraining RBs with child objects works, but it broke the original functionality. I reworked the selection filters in the latest version to address this issue. I will post it soon!

Is there a chance to implement a function to activate dynamics on collision?

Or is there allready a way to do it?

You need to rewrite / modify the Dynamica plugin itself for that to work.

hi,
this is my first post here even if I follow dynamica for quite a long time -since volt I think)
I notice in the 2.77 release download page that there is no maya 2009 x64 version in the rar.
Any news about that? thanks

Hello, I'm new to this community. I came across this information and was very intrigued! I'm working on a project, and this would help a lot for my simulations.

I follow the steps, and source in the script, but then I get the following error:
// Error: No object matches name: dSolver1.ssSolverType //

I'm guessing this is some kind of initialization error or something, but I'm not really sure what's wrong. Any help would be much appreciated! I'm really looking forward to trying this out.

These tools have been integrated into Dynamica 2.78. Find it here:

Build: Create rigid bodies of the Hull or Mesh type from an arbitrary number of source meshes - with a user specified collision margin.
Very useful info sharing, thanks a lot!
