falling letters (with jBullet) (Read 4132 times)

GianCarlo Junior Member Offline Posts: 78 Italy	falling letters (with jBullet) Apr 29^th, 2010, 7:19am First test with jBullet and my previous experiment with extruded 2D letters. Collision is still not that accurate but that's a beginning. Type any key to create a new Character. PeasyCam controls. http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=9333

Would still be a useful thing to add.

Creating curves is much more complicated.

As far as i remember it was part of a post about geomerative. This library easily creates vector outlines of fonts, so it shouldnt be such a big problem to extrude them. You can probably do it manually by shifting and connecting the vertices. But thats where the idea to add this feature came from i guess.
your code looks interesting though.
