can someone do a tutorial for making collision files please

x y z radius friction spring damping

They are the 7 numbers you need in each line, except the first, which should only be 1 number, which represents how many lines follow it.

Example

0 0 0 4 1.0 500 500

This will give a sphere of radius 4 ft, around the pivot point of the object, with friction 1.0, spring and damping of 500.

We need an application where we can place and scale spheres, and the program outputs the shape file.

i believe changing to mesh collision is in jlv plans so we better wait for this,
to know the positions i center the models pivot in max and move it to the point i want to make collision, then i just grab the positions number and paste on those DJ posted

confusing?
Yes

I'd say we would be waiting a fair while for mesh collisions

cR was gonna write a max script for collision exporting for me when I was doing the contest track. Pretty much you would place sphere meshes throughout your object, then delete the main object, and the script would turn the spheres into a coordinate and a radius.

thanks DJ

, the collision system right now is holding back what can be done with objects imo. If it was mesh based all objects (depending on what they are of course) could have collision without major lag or reacting funky.

Hi, i want make the collision files but i dont know how to. So is there some script for 3ds max/blender? Or can someone make it?

Full explanation right there, and if you can't figure it out from that, don't feel bad, because i bet most people can't understand it either. But thats the only way to do collisions right now.

I feel so dumb for not knowing how to make collision files before!

can you add lines to that? as in have more than one collision sphere in an object? I am guessing yes.

Yes

...except the first, which should only be 1 number, which represents how many lines follow it.

I dont very understand it but if here will be some tutorial for it i think i can learn it .

Your kidding me. I dont think i could explain it any better than that

OK, i tried something but its not good, i want to make a collision file for woods over the track like DJ´s EnduroX so i need collision file for cylinder. How must it look? Can i use the 3ds max units or i must use feets? Thanks for help.
