i want to create a "rubrick's cube" style setup for a grid of 5x5x5 cubes, all with physics, using jit.phys.multiple and jit.gl.multiple. for a start, i wanted to create a grid of 5*5 cubes.

- the physics cube seems to behave different to the gl cube; any pointers on why?

- how can i realize a 5x5x5 grid in this style?

i have trouble with some thigs:

in your patch, you are not sending the rotate matrix to the gl.multiple, which accounts for the discrepancies between the debug draw and the gridshapes. you need to set @glparams position rotate on your gl.multiple, and connect the second outlet of phys.multiple to the second inlet of gl.multiple

check out the phys.multiple help file. it contains a 4x4x4 grid of shapes.

lastly, if you connect your phys.world to your gl.render, instead of the other way around, your phys.picker will work properly.

hello robert and thanks a lot for your comment!

if i do the changes you proposed, it seems like the rotation matrix of the cubes get twisted once i let them collide - is there a way to reset the rotation for all cubes?

i'm not sure i understand. could you post a patch showing what you're doing?

thanks.


i solved this issue with sending the message "jit.matrix 4 float32 0 0 0 0" to jit.phys.multiple, which would reset the rotation matrix. thanks a lot for the help, robert!
