Description
|
Bounce, Tumble, and Splash! Simulating the Physical World with Blender 3D provides a guide to Blender’s sophisticated and sometimes intimidating physics and dynamics tools. The book gives complete coverage of Blender’s fluid simulation system and all of its latest features; the soft body physics simulation system, including new features for simulating cloth effects; the latest in the particle system, including upcoming features that will revolutionize the way Blender handles hair styling; and the Bullet physics engine, the physics engine for Blender’s Game Engine. The Bullet physics engine handles a variety of physics simulations, including rigid body dynamics and rag doll physics, and animators can easily use its simulations outside of the game engine. The book will also cover a number of basic Blender features, such as the wave modifier, which can be very useful for simulating natural phenomena. Written in a friendly but professional tone the book will focus on practical, visual examples in full color, with clear, in-depth explanations of all the steps taken to achieve each effect, and why specific choices were made.
