Detailed Description

A soft body patch. This is usefull for simulating cloth. This may also simulate other closed patch systems such as balloons, depending on whether the physics engine supports this.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void palPatchSoftBody::Init	(	const Float *	pParticles,
		const Float *	pMass,
		const int	nParticles,
		const int *	pIndices,
		const int	nIndices
	)			[pure virtual]

Initializes the soft body patches with triangles.

Parameters:

	pParticles	A pointer to the particles positions (or vertices/nodes) that describe the patch mesh
	pMass	A pointer to the mass for each particle (or vertex) This can be null to indicate defaults. Zero mass indicates a fixed particle/node.
	nParticles	The number of particles (vertices). (ie: the total number of Floats / 3)
	pIndices	A pointer to the indices which describe the patch mesh
	nIndices	The number of indices. (ie: the number of triangles * 3)

virtual void palPatchSoftBody::SetIterations

(

const int

nIterations

)

[pure virtual]

Soft body systems typically have a seperate solver. With the SetIterations you can set the number of iterations for the soft body solver.

Parameters:

nIterations

the number of iterations for the softbody solver.
