Blender Game Engine Medical Visualization Blood Flow Physics

Here's another visualization of blood flow using the blender game engine. This time I let the bullet physics engine do more work. Instead of spherical bounding boxes, the red blood cells have convex bounding hulls. Seems to work a lot better. Also, the friction of the blood vessel is set very low.

This uses the blender game engine to render the simulation in real time.

For fun, I put in an illustration of arteriosclerosis. A growing plaque on the lining of the blood vessel.

Yeah, too many collisions with convex bounding hulls caused the big framerate drop. Maybe I should do a lower poly version.

i dont think hes gonna make it.../

I feel like that happens to me after I eat 1.5 Qts of Breyers chocolate ice cream.

Pretty good!

[xXChinesXx]

how i can render the things that I see in play mod (p) ?

Now i wonna eat Cheerius LOL (:

[pisceanza]

Can you give more details on how to build this kind of system?

[birdmandoon]

yeah thats right kids dont eat to many cheese bergers when your yong

[Asdam12]

Nice! lol

[SecondSoul17]

Donuts :D

Maybe your bounding should just be the lozenge shape, not exactly the RBCs exterior. Keep up the good work!
