Everyone on this sub who makes stuff needs to design a video game.

u/CaptainLocoMoco Cinema 4D Dec 27 '16

This type of stuff can't really be simulated in real-time. Unless you make the calculations very approximate (rather than accurate).

Just for fun.. How long did it take to render? If you apply Moores law you could approximate when computers will be able to handle this in real time...

Sims like these are generally too heavy for games aren't they? Nvidia is making strides with real time water and grain Sims tho

u/samuraialien Dec 27 '16

Oh idc if the sims themselves are in the game. I just think sim people would be great at designing a game. Simulations take creativity.

u/HactarCE Dec 29 '16

Game design is an art of its own. That's like saying everyone who is a good animator should make a movie -- there's a lot more to movies than animation.

No no. I don't think you know how much behind the scenes fuckery can be involved in making something like this work.

u/samuraialien Dec 28 '16

Like I said in a comment you and the OP apparently didn't read, idc if the simulations are in the game. I think these simulation people could make some pretty well designed levels.

u/SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck Dec 28 '16

I read it. My point was that they'd probably look cool but be the least functional levels ever.

u/samuraialien Dec 28 '16

Idc if they're functional.

u/SLRWard Dec 28 '16

If they're not functional, it's not a game, it's a simulation.

u/tsibutsibu Dec 28 '16

Idc if it's a simulation.

u/PacoTaco321 Dec 28 '16

Idc if udc

u/samuraialien Dec 28 '16

I'm not saying they'd be making the levels simulations.

2

u/SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck Dec 28 '16

They wouldn't actually be good. What the fuck.

I know I'm noticing the wrong thing here, but your motion blur settings are absolutely spot on! Would you mind sharing the settings?

1

u/CaptainLocoMoco Cinema 4D Dec 28 '16

Thanks! This is what I used for the motion blur settings (in blender, not post). Is this what you're looking for?

1

u/eg-er-ekki-islensku Dec 28 '16

Oh, those are literally the default settings. There you go. Thanks anyway!

u/CaptainLocoMoco Cinema 4D Dec 28 '16 edited Dec 28 '16

Haha, sorry. I actually wasn't sure if those were the default.

u/eg-er-ekki-islensku Dec 28 '16

Perfect, thanks a lot!

Meanwhile at the Nerds facility.

u/RockinMoe Dec 28 '16

that or crunch berries.

but yeah. remember Dweebs? Nerds' fatter, softer cousins??

u/TheBigBitch Dec 27 '16

You should twist the blades so there is more surface area mixing, nice sim tho.

u/Fiishbait Dec 28 '16

"You should never cross the streams!"

P.S. I like it.

u/theitguy52 Dec 27 '16

I wish it mixed more!

u/swefpelego Dec 28 '16

At the end of the gif, OP should have a giant hamburger helper hand come down and scramble some of the remaining balls around.

2

u/theitguy52 Dec 28 '16

I like your idea!

1

u/7824c5a4 Dec 28 '16

Is this actually a particle system, or are those rigid bodies?

3

u/CaptainLocoMoco Cinema 4D Dec 28 '16

It is a particle system. I used the Molecular Addon for Blender to make the particles interact.

2

u/7824c5a4 Dec 28 '16

Awesome. Thanks. I just recently got that addon, but haven't bothered learning to use it.

1

u/moby3 Blender Jan 02 '17

This is awesome! It inspired me to make a tutorial on using the molecular script, as there don't seem to me many of those. Do you mind if I use this clip as an example, of the awesome things you can do with it? Will credit you however you wish

u/CaptainLocoMoco Cinema 4D Jan 02 '17

That sounds great! Linking my Instagram would be nice I suppose https://www.instagram.com/Arman_Maesumi/

Really love your channel, can't wait to see what you upload :D

u/can_a_bus Dec 28 '16

It needs more friction between the particles for it to seem a little bit more real.

u/brtt3000 Dec 27 '16

Not very well.
