    Wednesday, December 03 2003 @ 04:06 PM EST, Matthew
    I actually attempted to make a nice blob back in June, but the results were somewhat broken. For whatever reason, I didn't just restart and try another approach. I did last night, though, as a way to do something fresh after getting frustrated with some of our company work. I haven't done a DevLab test in a long awhile, and--let's face it--I basically created the blog as an outlet for my physics experiments.

    And so I present to you the updated blob test (ESDF controls). I did a few things differently this time, and I think the results are fantastic. Primarily, I opted to create support in the blob with overlapping springs on the outer layer, rather than a triangular internal structure. The source CMO is available, as always. It contains some code from the older test which should really be redone, but it's fairly clean for the most part. Notice you can set parameters to control the number of points in the blob's skin as well as its size. Enjoy!
