Hello.

I have a simple question:
How can I make db physics cloths in a big scale????

I made several cloths in physics, problem is all cloths work well at a small scale. There is some special commands ??/ or.....what to do???
If I make a big scale, the speed is very, very low.....

Are you using PHYSX? if not, you should probably take a look at the two options TGC has...

The original which comes as part of the awesome DarkGAME Studio

Dark Physics

Or the newer fully up to date supported

Dark Dynamix

These use Hardware acceleration for physics effects and should give you a real boost...

If this is not what you are seeking or are already using them, ignore my post

If not using these, take them into consideration, as anything on large scale will involve huge amounts of real time processing... a heavy workload for your CPU alone...

Also you do not need a PHYSX enabled GPU to use them, however it is recommended...

These are for DBP if you are using DBC, these will not work with it... I mention this as it is not clear what you are using...

Hope this helped somewhat...

AFAIR there is some built-in (i.e. free) cloth physics, but I don't know how to use them. Once I had example but lost it.

mrHandy you just reminded me about the download you get with paid editions of DBpro, Cloth Particles code pack... sadly my chm file will not work, will try to extract it again... soon... would be interesting to play with...

I am not sure it would work with collisions though... might be a massive overhead...

I ran the Drapes demo and it works fantastically...

mihaid, are you still using the free edition of DBPro?

I am doing a quick tutorial for Zaxtor99 over HERE maybe some crits, and you probably already know it but it will be one of my early Explanation/Example Videos [EEVs] of many to follow in future...

thats a snippet from a paid version of DBPro you need to keep in mind the original author and the reserved respects of TGC before pasting out code like that...

I did not paste it here as I wish not to simply share code paid users paid for... kind of cheapens the point of paying...

but again I could be on a wavelength of concern, and many others may not care much... I just respect others too much, maybe thats my shortcoming... but yeah can someone confirm it being ok to simply paste code that came with DBPro at free will? if so I have a ship load of code that came in DarkSource that I could have dished out over the last year or so...

EDIT

To top it off you missed out this important bit

I did not mean to hurt anybody. I was trying to help our friend here.
If I have done anything wrong - sorry.

As far as I know, nothing wrong, but I am not one to judge... I wanted to post that code too, but then I got thinking about where the content is from, and the face its part of a paid product... so that kind of stuff worries me...

here...

Thanks ...

Do you know about anything regarding the performance of dark dynamix ?

Are people complaining or are they overjoyed ? Right now it is priced at 60 USD - wondering if it is worth buying when Dark Physics is already there.

All I can say is it is still new, many functions are still pending but the core commonly used ones are there, I could be wrong... but it has just 1 advantage over DPhysics, and that is not needing to install the software system unless they want to use or already have it installed to utilise hardware physics effects... Hardware dependent of course...

hope that answers the question...

I created a thread asking everybody for feedback about DarkDynamix but no body has answered back yet !

The thread is here - http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=199468&b=1

I am getting confused whether it is worth 60 dollars to spend on that plugin or buy something else like enhanced animation and other plugins like dark occlusion.
