Phun - Theo Jansen Mechanism

[TheSnailfan]

(Minecraft)

[TheSnailfan]

With that, you can construct a cool Creeper

[Interpr3ter]

that thing totally freakes me out!

[alertthepro]

cool.

[joertjoert]

It's actually very hard to make. since it has no resting state in which the limbs are all straight, like all the other fun walkers you see. I tried for a long time, and kept failing.

[gom222555]

Epic

[brad10474]

if you want a download link pm me I've made one too

[XxxxangerxxxX]

for a few months i tried to figure it out and i got it

[Maramech]

Omg is so amazing to see this im just starting at phun but i can easly see that do the ted jansen mechanism it have to be xtremely dificult.. and more when is someone like me that can barely use the program... where can i get phun info? i mean how to use all the programs features

[skelekat1]

awesome. just watched a show on this and its awesome

[benschierywashere]

i remember seeing a vid of the real thing. it had ore than four legs though...

[scherz91]

thats hard to  contruct

[konothecook]

that's fucking hardcore.

[pivotannihilator]

cool how did you make thAT

[spektrum1983]

i want todo it in LBP

[VoteNixon2008]

How many moles of LSD do I have to take to think of something like this?

[BHT195]

The few seconds it took me to work out what you meant I thought "wow, an entire mole full of LSD. That's alot."

[Tkn25]

tried to make on too, but I phailed totally xD

[kamakazi612]

is the only motor th one in the middle?

[Somethingcrappy]

yes

[KanzlerM]

No motor.

It wheel in the center acts like a drankshaft/camshaft to link/time the coordination of the mechanism.

Look for some of Theo Jansen's wind powered mechanisms.

[Somethingcrappy]

i meant that in this video. not the real theo jansens.

[MegaTim42]

@kamakazi612 Yes. This robot in real life actually runs on wind power and kinetic energy and once it starts, it keeps going and going. This one on phun runs, yes, with one motor. I don't think phun has a good enough physics engine for quality kinetic motion.

[kamakazi612]

i wnt to see that in Little Big Planet!

[NoUserNamesLeft007]

that thing scares the shit outa me o.o

[Araqnydd]

holy awesome, batman

[Somethingcrappy]

very weird. i made my own Theo Jansen Mechanism on phun but it only works upside down :P

it just jumps like crazy if i put it the "right" way

[IanOrigami]

however you make THAT

[oldskoolchevelle]

song name? sounds bad ass. chunktuff is retarded

[xxGLhrMxx]

P.O.D. - If You Could See Me Now

it IS badass, lol

i guess you can't please everyone...

[oldskoolchevelle]

thanks. true story

[oldskoolchevelle]

why cant i find this song?

[xxGLhrMxx]

/watch?v=nIVFAONU_Dc

[xxGLhrMxx]

oh damn... they deleted it :/

sorry

the name of the album is Testify, highly recommended!

erase the spaces

[oldskoolchevelle]

sweet! thanks dude.

[hellarios852]

what did you use to film this?

[unknown9a9]

He may use a program called CamStudio. You can download it everywhere.

[zeratul575]

i dont have the potentail like u man can u make a little tutorial to teach all us noobs how to make it and yes im begging PLZ

[chunktuff]

this song is for lack of a better term stupid so 4/5 the physics were sick (in a good way) but the song is sick (in a bad way = 1 star off)

[kerog6]

i tried that on my comp an its too heavy for its legs. why?

[batabii]

More like Phaggot mechanism

[kleinesmaenchen]

Theo Jansen is Geniuos

[yakir11114]

well done

[defenator1]

It works perfectly. One day I'm gonna build my own. Phun is so Phunny

[wuuht]

ik weet in godsnaam niet hoe zo,n veer werkt

[jkmerlin]

I made one of these with eight legs and it runs perfectly on flat surfaces. One problem I have is it tends to flip at any uphill gradient. Cool video though.

[wuuht]

ik hoor aan de naam dat je nederelands bent

[ondy1978]

very very cool machine

[porzellanmonsterchen]

wow, that's impressive! Must have took hours to make it!

[Profile12345678910]

not really,once you know how to make it,it's quite simple,i can make on in under 5 minutes xD

[oldman32123]

how the hell. that is so cool

[ontoue]

wat song is that?

[slopedarmor]

It's not strandbeests, but "strandbeesten"

[magyarorszag2007]

COOOL

[Z00T93]

how can people spend time to do this x) love ur thing :D i also have phun, just donwloadeed it:D

[Gunnar120]

how do you get the straigt diagonal lines? and mine keeps falling apart! Pleese PM me help (or just put it here)

[Chrisjouett12]

how do u get water?

[Directorbbz]

Right click an item, select geometries, click liquify object

[amanita666]

Phuntastic!

[fanrammsteinlos]

lol

[stickfigure101]

your good so good that that came with phun when i got it

[huglojsk]

you are the best robot guy in the world!!!!!!!!!!

soooo goood wooooork!

[rhalp202]

is phun a free game? somebody please reply

[CurchackPeEl]

Yes, it is.

[TiagoTiagoT]

DUDE!!!! that is freaking sick!! I've been trying to do somthing like that for quite some time without success, you rock!!!

[TheMonkeyBrothers]

that is like litterally perfect although.... like the creator was saying. he reinvented the wheel. the centre part is totally still when walking. like the centre of a wheel. and ur model goes up and down. really neat model tho! just something to work on

[drewsta199]

what are those big flappy things hovering above it O.o

[jakeydmorley]

how the bloody hell you find the time and patients for that????amazing it is as annoying it is!!!still a thinks my car that crashes in to a whole loada ragdolls at high speed is genious!!!but then what do i know?dont answer that!!!!

[xxGLhrMxx]

i was unemployed at the moment :D

sorry for answering

[Melvinyoder]

Ah damn, you beat meh to it.

[kidcodea]

PHUN FOR DS NOW!

[D3RK3]

really??????

[moe1243]

your a genious!!! seriously i would have never thought about that

[KilalaMeow]

it looks like a spider lol

[Kazbahn1]

i've made a similar thing, i hadnt seen your video before i did, ill post it up, and people can check it out

[brantaum]

The best thing I've seen on Phun.

[eggsandbacon4me]

ahhhhhh spider!!!

[blazelord345]

That is THE COOLEST 5/5 :D!

[CightonProductions]

Alot of free time, eh?

[xxGLhrMxx]

actually it's easier than it looks :)

but yeah, i used to have a lotta free time...

[Leemo45]

thats creepy

[MastaDJMax]

Dude! You are awesome!

[YoYoSmileALot]

Mine didn't actually work either, it would collapse one of it's left legs and do nothing. I added some very strong springs to keep it from falling at that point, then once it started going, I took the spring away. After that it works fine for me.

[xxGLhrMxx]

i think i've found the problem

this scene was recorded at Beta 3.12

and we're now at 3.5

Emil probably changed something in the code that affected this scene

well, i just feel lucky i've recorded this in time ^^

[YoYoSmileALot]

I guess so. I added springs and they kept it from collapsing, but I still wish I didn't have to :(

[YoYoSmileALot]

Thx so much for the .phn file! This version looks so smooth compared to other phun ones I've seen...

[xxGLhrMxx]

thank u all

for some reason, my own file doesn't work on my own PC anymore... i think i've changed something i shouldn't

now i'm glad it just glitches here, i was scared =P

anyway, the next phun update is coming next friday i guess, so there's no need to fix my Phun, i'll install the new version when it comes out...

and this file was made before the collision groups update, so now it could be improved a lot if u put one foot in group A and the other one in group B so they won't collide

[LuminolBlue]

That is awesome. Must have taken you ages to make...

[Alek9997]

Wow! 8)

[FissionMetroid101]

AMAZING!!!

[CyanideXCloud]

GLHRM, you are a PHUN master, i am getting more experienced by the day also... YOU ARE A PHUN GOD... And Conundrumer and Everyone else! w00t

[xxGLhrMxx]

0.o?

ur kidding me

i've seen so many greater creations at the forum

too bad they don't post it on youtube =/

[CyanideXCloud]

I meant on Youtube, this is probably the best Phun-traption, i am going to upload some vids myself

[sarkasmi83]

hohooho, amazing! :D I've just done a truck, bike, car, car with a trailer, trampoline, lot of drawbridges and waterthings and a boat :P But it's all been the looks of "A kid has drawn it", so... Yeah, I'm impressed about your design :)

[rochelimit55555]

try make the rhino! they you'r awesome

[chicoquark]

omg very amazing....it reminds me evangelion lol

[Zakkeri]

coolest thing i've ever seen! no just kidding, but it's very VERY nice.

[DRRDRRDRR]

hahaha, The first thing I really built (save random blobs and stuff) was that mechanism. Your's is much nicer though, I just threw mine together XD

[pagani8]

yeah, me too; didn't think something like this would be pssible in Phun...

:P

[Dracanic]

awesome! lol i made.... a ball launcher and a boat... v_v

[TheLordoftheCows]

HOW LONG DID THAT TAKE?!?!?

that thing was awesome

[xxGLhrMxx]

me?

one boring day

theo jansen?

a good part of his life =)

thx btw

[xxGLhrMxx]

P.O.D. - If you could see me now

[funkysmurf12345]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

[arinlares]

nice job! didn't think it was possible in phun

[thebobulator]

..... wow

5*

[lifeinsepia]

now i want a tutorial.

[FadyFTJ]

Dude, that is SICK. I gotta try that.

Five stars for GENIUS.

[xxGLhrMxx]

genius?

u mean theo jansen, right? all i did was copy his work

:)

[zero01101]

that's incredibly slick.

i couldn't even imagine how long that took to perfect.

[MettallicDesease]

You should delete the wings and post a video how it moves without them. They also just look plain stupid.

[xxGLhrMxx]

well the "wings" are part of the real strandbeest. it would move the same way without them. on my video description theres a link to a more detailed simulation (not my video)

[MettallicDesease]

I know, but since there is no real wind, it is a bit useless. Since it is a physics simulator, it should make the walk at least differ a bit from each way; Without wings, and with.

[xxGLhrMxx]

well u cant trust me, its the same thing.

i set their density to the relative zero

[sharpfang]

Yes, but in the original the wings are used to power it. Here, as I guess, you use a motor.

OTOH if you made a wind-based version, that would be amazing. (you can simulate wind by placing everything on a quickly moving big platform (vehicle) and binding the view to the platform.)

[xxGLhrMxx]

that's a cool way to simulate wind anyway, i'm gonna try it someday

[Sirtoast28]

i was wondering what you used to record video. i have fraps but it drops to like 10 fps when i try to record. I also downloaded the other program on the Phun website but that only captured the desktop and not Phun.

ive seen one of those in real life nice detail

[xxGLhrMxx]

I use Virtual Dub. It's tricky to configure the compression on the first time, but then it gets pretty simple, and it also comes with a crappy but useful video editor, which i used to edit this video.

[amilliondead]

That's awesome that you could actually make that, nice one dude. Theo Jansen's work is cool. Maybe one day Phun will have movable air so it can move by the wind like his stuff.

I like the song, what is it?

[xxGLhrMxx]

P.O.D. - If you could see me now

[amilliondead]

Thanks bud

[TheConundrumer]

That's awesome, reminds me of sodaplay

[kuposrock]

lol dude thank u so much i cant wait to walk around with a spider thing thank you.

[kuposrock]

xxGlhrMxx when r u gonna answer cuz i realy want this everyday after school i go on to see if u responded but u didnt so ya. post plx

[xxGLhrMxx]

OMG im so sorry!

i thought i had told u already, ive uploaded it to Phun website about a week ago!

i know what happened: i posted the link here, but youtube deleted it! so im posting the link on the video description now

have fun!

[tomfrankly]

you're a bad man.

[amilliondead]

lol

[forresto]

Coooooool... this is one of the first things I thought about when I first started messing with Phun.

[cooldude514]

it looks like a giant spider!

[D2Portugal]

porra, paguei pau

é simplesmente fantástico

[kuposrock]

can u load this on a site i realy want it but its so hard to make

[jeffdonckers]

I've tried this before I saw this video. How do you make the legs not collide with each other? :s

[xxGLhrMxx]

just uncheck "collides with stuff"

to make him collide with the floor, make a very small collideable box on his foot.

=)

[jeffdonckers]

Ah yes... I would've never thought of the small box :P

Thanks

[NatronBlood]

It would be nice to be able to script a creation to have its on A.I.

[xxGLhrMxx]

sure, ive e-mailed them about that

[Masteringus]

brilliant!

[Tidalias]

I'm terribly impressed that you actually replicated that in Phun. Great work.

[babakman]

perecido

[andyphun2008]

That's really awesome

[coolrider102030]

Fucking brilliant
