After reading Collada Physics specifications, I’ve understood that force_fields can be used to represent motors, since motor apply a force in some way. (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Specification also states that currently there is not predefined way to describe a technique.
So, my question is (if above is all true): “Has anyone defined their custom force fields? And if so, could you share your xml approach?”
I’m particularly interested in such motors as:
[ul]
Attractor motors (provide gravitational attraction between two objects)
Geared motors (simplified automobile engines)
Servo motors (achieve a desired angle or velocity)
Spring motors
Thruster motors (provide a constant force on an object)
Velocity motors (use force to achieve desired velocity)
[/ul]
I’d imagine that this has already been addressed by various exporters and importers for 3dsmax, ageia, etc., as I have seen videos running various physical simulations that would require some form of force_fields. For example, some videos were showing car simulation, which would require creating some motor to drive and steer the car.
Thanks in advance.
