Or do we have to do that all in gen/math world?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you can use phys.multiple to manage multiple instances of a rigid-body.

you can set the rigid-bodies to be kinematic, and update their positions directly from the gen simulation matrix.
this means the bodies won’t collide with each other, but they will collide with any non-kinematic dynamic rigid-bodies in your scene.

or, if you want the particles to be dynamic rigid-bodies, you can’t update the positions directly, but must use the phys.multiple force matrix input to apply forces to the rigid-bodies in the direction of the corresponding particle in the gen simulation.

thanks, but in your example your applying physics to the hole grid.

@Robert
That makes sense to me. The reason why I’m asking this is because I need many particles and the gen method seems to be more efficient then anything else I have seen in Jitter. I will give it a try. Thanks!

it will try and use that arg as it’s own worldname, rather than as the gl-context name.

jit.gl.mesh needs a matrix of vertex points if it’s going to draw anything, so in this case, you probably want to use a jit.gl.gridshape as the target object for jit.gl.multiple.

you need to send a matrix to the right input of the jit.gen, if you want any animation to take place. i simply sent in the initial noise-matrix.

I was in the hope to use a mesh. Can we adapt this example for vertex points?
