Noodle physics simulation ;p - Blender and Bullet Physics

Quick noodle rigid body dynamics test using real-world relative scale. Details...: Pasta / spaghetti relative dimensions: 2.5mm dia., 250mm length, rigid bodies' mass (and centers of) calculated based on material densities, gravity: 9.8m/s. Physics are to scale, but unfortunately my movements (external forces) in the virtual world were too fast relative to the scale (and impatience due to simulation running slow ;) this was made obvious after rendering the frames and playing them back at real-time speed. Therefore movements and playback speed are not quite to scale. That's what tests are for... to learn from. The bizarre movements (using mouse): after dropping the fork in the glass I threw the glass, then threw the bowl, played with a noodle, then dragged the fork and threw it as well.

Fork, bowl and glass are compounded HACD convex decompositions. Noodles are capsule strings (no longer sticking with full radius as margin).

Step by step, we are slowly getting closer; one day we'll be able to easily simulate real-world physics using any arbitrary rigid body shapes... one day...

Environment lighting was created by Vlad "SATtva" Miller.

you can clearly see the wires holding up the fork

It's like a ghost just wanted to eat his noodles in a glass, but failed, got pissed and had a tantrum.

[MultiSamster]

This is how "HowToBasic" makes noodles

[ne77s]

Fucking noodles!!!! (ノಠ 益 ಠ)ノ ︵ ┻━┻

[ForceablePlace]

and the invisible chicken going ape shit since he took his noodles, and flipped the bowl over

[MrClayblob8]

ugh i was about to ask how you did dat, but this is blender, not cinema 4d

[TheDollaraday]

hey guys check out my animation that i made on blender! let me know what you think!

The silence is deafening.

of course, can't you read the title of the video?

[Nayef Mazraani]

ahahhahahhahahhaha you just inspire me

Loooooool
