Unigine::PhysicalNoise Class

Header: #include <UniginePhysicals.h>
Inherits: Physical

A PhysicalNoise class is used to simulate a force field affecting physical bodies and particles based on a volumetric noise texture. It creates an additional distribution flow specifying the force and the displacement direction for bodies and particles at each point of the force field.

Notice
  • The physical noise can affect only a cloth, a rope or a rigid body. Also you should remember that a rigid body requires a shape to be assigned.
  • The physical noise will affect particles only if their physical mass is nonzero.

Usage Example#

In this example a physical noise node and 50 boxes, each with a body and a shape, are created. Generated boxes fall down under the set gravity and are affected by the physical noise as they get into it.

In the AppWorldLogic.cpp file let us add the following code:

Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.cpp
/* .. */
#include <UnigineGame.h>
#include <UnigineEditor.h>
#include <UnigineVisualizer.h>
#include <UniginePhysics.h>
#include <UniginePhysicals.h>
#include <UniginePrimitives.h>

using namespace Unigine;
using namespace Math;

// declaring a PhysicalNoise node
PhysicalNoisePtr physical_noise;

/// function, creating a named box having a specified size, color and transformation with a body and a shape
ObjectMeshDynamicPtr createBodyBox(char *name, vec3 size, float mass, vec4 color, Mat4 transform)
{
	// creating geometry and setting up its parameters (name, material and transformation)
	ObjectMeshDynamicPtr box = Primitives::createBox(size);
	box->setWorldTransform(transform);
	box->setMaterial("mesh_base", "*");
	box->setMaterialParameter("albedo_color", color, 0);
	box->setName(name);

	// adding physics, i.e. a rigid body and a box shape with the specified mass
	BodyRigidPtr body = BodyRigid::create(box->getObject());
	body->addShape(ShapeBox::create(size)->getShape(), translate(vec3(0.0f)));
	box->getBody()->getShape(0)->setMass(mass);
	
	// setting the physical mask for the body
	body->setPhysicalMask(1);
	
	// releasing the node and passing it to the Editor as a run-time node
	box->release();
	Editor::get()->addNode(box->getNode(), 1);

	return box;
}

/* .. */

int AppWorldLogic::init() {

	// setting up physics parameters (gravity, linear and angular velocity)
	Physics::get()->setGravity(vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f));
	Physics::get()->setFrozenLinearVelocity(0.1f);
	Physics::get()->setFrozenAngularVelocity(0.1f);

	// setting up player's parameters
	Game::get()->getPlayer()->setWorldPosition(Vec3(0.0f, 90.0f, 70.0f));
	Game::get()->getPlayer()->setDirection(vec3(0.0f, -1.0f, -0.7f), vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f));

	// creating a physical noise node with a size of 60x60x60
	 physical_noise = PhysicalNoise::create(vec3(60.0f));

	// setting the force multiplier equal to 50
	physical_noise->setForce(50.0f);

	// setting the threshold distance
	physical_noise->setThreshold(vec3(0.0f));
	
	// setting the physical mask
	physical_noise->setPhysicalMask(1);
	
	//setting up noise texture generation parameters (scale, frequency, size)
	physical_noise->setNoiseScale(0.2f);
	physical_noise->setFrequency(4);
	physical_noise->setImageSize(16);
	
	// setting the sampling step equal to 20
	physical_noise->setStep(vec3(20.0f));

	// releasing the physical noise node and passing it to the editor as a run-time node
	physical_noise->release();
	Editor::get()->addNode(physical_noise->getNode(), 1);
	
	// enabling the Visualizer to show our physical noise
	Visualizer::get()->setEnabled(1);
	
	//generating 50 boxes with rigid bodies and shapes assigned
	for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
		Vec3 position = Vec3(Game::get()->getRandomDouble(-50.0f, 50.0f), Game::get()->getRandomDouble(-50.0f, 50.0f), 40.0f);
		vec4 color = vec4(Game::get()->getRandomFloat(0.0f, 1.0f), Game::get()->getRandomFloat(0.0f, 1.0f), Game::get()->getRandomFloat(0.0f, 1.0f), Game::get()->getRandomFloat(0.0f, 1.0f));
		createBodyBox("box", vec3_one, 1.0f, color, translate(position));
	}

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::update() {

	// rendering visualizer for the physical noise node
	physical_noise->renderVisualizer();

	return 1;
}
