As we move on with our favorite toy, we added the JiglibFlash library, which although seems to be on the beginning of it’s way in the world of open source Flash libraries, but it seems to be a very promising one. We have created five basic nodes: Jiglib Physics engine, JigShere, JigBox. JigPlane and yes Jigcar too. I have created a fairly simple composition showing a wall of boxes which will be destroyed by a bigger box falling down. The video shows the whole process starting from a simple one box setup. You can see in the video how easy it is to duplicate a bunch of nodes: when you select more nodes connected together and you also add the incomng and outgoing connector to the selection, the duplicated branch will not just be connected together like the original, but it also will be connected to the  same incoming and outgoing nodes, assuming the outgoing connector is a multiple type one. So, take a look and try it yourself:

here is the composition for you to try.

Physics made with SourceBinder using JiglibFlash and Papervision from Balazs Serenyi on Vimeo.

Take a video from a dancer, cut off the background with a threshold node, put every frame on a plane into a 3d space and there you go! The same works with the webcam as well, asumed you have a solid background. Driving the whole thing with the wiimote you get some pretty cool stuff.

Here is a video that shows the process of making a basic physics simulation in SourceBinder. In the simulation, 60 spheres are bouncing on a plane. The plane’s rotation is driven by the pitch and roll values of a wiimote. The physic simulation is done with the great WOW phisics engine, for the 3d rendering we used Papervision3D primitves and the Wiimote handling is done with WiiFlash.

This video tutorial shows how Binder can be used to create a Flash movie with 3d objects (using Papervision) and regular Flash stuff, like perlin noise and glow filter mixed together.
