I'm working on this program that allows you to configure your rigid bodies for newton. It's not finished yet but you can already make some boxes and spheres, set their mass, add some joints and test it in real time.

You can set the language to english in the config folder and please read the help file if you have some troubles with this program.

Looks cool, but is it possible to change the language (eg: Language Files)?

I was going to make a RigidBody maker (compound collision setup) with joints for my project, but hey maybe I'll use this! Downloading now....

I'm not a real programmer but I play one with DBPro!

Well, the Ball joint will glue two objects together but let them rotate on 3 axis, the hinge joint let them rotate only on 1 axis. The slider let the objet move along one axis and prevent the rotation.

Wow, lookin' good. I'll keep an eye on this one!

I'm working on a high res photorealistic texture pack. High res as in 7 megapixels, e-mail me with suggestions.

This is exactly the kind of tools that help users. Thank you for sharing your work with us. I hope you continue this project until you have the most complete (and helpful) tool that you can build.

I am familiar with Newton, but not in the joints department (yet). I know I will eventually need to go more and more into joints, but right now I've only used "NDB_NewtonConstraintCreateUpVector" sparingly in places where I've needed it. Since you're so far ahead in working with joints, can I ask: On a ball joint, can you set constraints for all 3 axes? As in the example of the joint at your shoulder. It can rotate on all 3 axes, but some more than others, and limited (contrained) depending on the other axes. Or is that what rag dolls are for, because it's too complicated to set up these joints?

In any case, I hope you continue to develop this tool to its fullest functionality...thanks again.

RaceGT : I don't think so, you can only define a cone and I think it's exactly the same with rag dolls. Try the universal joint (it's made of 2 hinges).
I will release a new version soon (with a code to load your objects and a lot of new things).
