object splitter

demonstration link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7197062/bear-cutting.jpg

 

now I'm writting tree cutting code such as in cryengine.
will anybody buy this script?

 

That's pretty cool! The sphere slicing seems to get a little messed up, but the other shapes work.

Would this work with any mesh or is it just primitives?

 

Looks very interesting, I will follow this 8)

 

This could be a good feature but you must refine it.
Not many people will use it for primitives.
But you could probably sell something for some well done mesh real time splitter.

 

Neato.

 

nice for cutting enemies with a samurai sword

 

Very nice idea can we have the Code please

 

I have updated scene: http://bestgames.ge/objectsplitter.html
I know there are many problems, but now you can split soldier :twisted:

 

That's so amazing

 

would it be too hard to give direction to the cut?

maybe you can record where the raycast 1st hit and where it last hit and get the direction from that?

 

now I'm refining code for good splitting. I have that in mind to split mesh with sword depended on sword trajectory.

 

very cool.

yes, having the option the the cut to be at an angle would be nice so that the top part would slide off the bottom part, instead of just stacking up.

 

I think you can start with a random inclination split, where the user can choose a range like -20 to +30 degrees on x and y axis in example.

 

Following

 

I have refined code and now the soldiers are splitted very well

www.bestgames.ge/objectsplitter.html

now I'll begin working on direction splitting

 

Very cool . This is probably a directional issue, but if you shoot a soldier in the arm, his whole body separates.

 

yes, the code splits object on Y position, but if the arms will be separate object with changed gizmos, for example may be in 3d max, rotate Y gizmo to be on that direction on which direction you want to cut, now on theese models Y is upward.

Updated, splitting with sword

I haven't wrote direction splitting yet, but it looks fantastic

I changed code to split one object only once but it was boring, now you have sword looks likes electro saw

 

It would be neat if you removed mouse look, put rotation on left and right, I think this was the old doom controls, not very popular these days. Doing this would allow you to bind sword tip position to cursor, which would allow you to "draw" the slash of the sword.

 

If I remove mouse look the sword doesn't go up and down, sword atached on camera

 

I'm wondering will anybody buy this code? if yes, how many do you pay?
I don't want to lost my time and I want to know work on this or not.

 

Cool stuff so far.

I'd suggest adding a couple of features. Check out http://www.tinyandbig.com/ for some ideas. That game allows arbitrary slice planes, has slightly less jittery object separation, and makes slicing a discrete action.

 

yes, that is cool and now I'm workin on such effect. If nobody buy such stuff, I'll work on other project because I asked if anyone needs this

 

I am interested in the sword script when you will succeed to do the cut in relation to the sword direction. Also it would be better to be able to add a delay between each sword cut. Maybe also a small delay before the mesh division.

An other idea would be to do a shatter effect script for a random mesh explosion of 'x' number of pieces.

 

I guess YOU have to put a delay between sword hits in your character code... he only gives you the code to splice the object.

 

Slap CHOP!

Nice work

 

I'd be interested in paying to see this project further developed. What types of licensing do you have in mind? similar to what's going on with unityprefabs.com where each person pays $X to buy/use it, or some larger amount and then you'd make it available to all Unity users?

 

Yeah I think I could spend some money on that too if it was nicer ( Different angle cuts and stuff ) This is a pretty interesting topic - people like to cut stuff to pieces

 

yes, similar to unityprefabs

 

Could be of interest for you ( 1:40min ):

I had seen this, yes it is amazing

 

Really great work. But even if no one buys it and u never release the code your not wasting your time as u can always use it at your own games :>

Great work, realistic feeling wish i had it.


Hugs

 

have there been any developments on this great script?
If needed, there is the unity asset store now(hint hint)

 

It wasn't real cutting, now I started writing real cutting script from null and the test scene will be available soon

 

this is awesome!

I see a fruit ninja clone coming up!

Here is little demonstration, I'll do more fine quality in next time .
I have i3 processor and I had 1300 fps, on cutting process it was 1230 for half second.

 

That looks really nice and clean. Would it be possible to add your script to bullets(rigidbody) and make the bullets collide and take off smale chunks? This would make for an fully destructible and dynamic environment. (maybe you can try it and show a movie of it). Keep up the great work.

 

I'll think about it, but now I want to finish this script and if I'll be so good, I want to do splitting on skinned meshes too

 

Fully destructible and dynamic environment will be hard to do, now I can create holes in object(delete triangles),but it must have many triangles to be like hole and it must have mesh collider.

 

you can see mesh real cutting here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/75949-Mesh-Real-Cutting
for now there is only triangles removing demonstration, but I'll start working tomorrow and there will be more real cutting demonstration very soon and webplayer too

 

Hey, cool!
Can we set the inner texture? Like when you split a watermelon for example, do we get to set the insider texture?

Does it work on iOS devices? Is it fast enough?

Keep us updated,

 

please ask any questions on real-cutting here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/75949-Mesh-Real-Cutting

Curious
I want to do that too, but that will be last thing, for now I'm working on cutting and creating second part of mesh

 

Here is demonstration scene: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7197062/WebPlayer.html

 

Wow this is even more amazing than i thought. Geez i think i spent a few minutes cutting bears for no particular reason. I hope you know that you are my hero I have loss 15 pounds of stress thanks to you, killing teddy bears. I also noticed that the object can be cut not just once but twice. Very good.

 

thanks for kind words.
yes, I have turned multiple cutting checkbox in this webplayer, you can cut anytime when this cube enters and exits from bear, but it has more glitches then once cutting.
This script also has option to choose collider type after cutting(box or mesh), it doesn't has matter what type of collider it have until cutting.

 

Hey nice work.
Cutting things is great ^^

I have a wish for the demo.
Could you put the pedobear in your demo?

 

yes, of course
do you have such model?

 

Yes I would purchase this from asset store or other. Keep up the great work!
