Just a proof of concept/tech demo for a content viewer that I've been working on ... but the first try worked in such a humorous and unexpected way that I just had to show someone.:D

LW:
Throw EVERYTHING at it...
Even the kitchen sink!

Edit: Cool concept. Keep it somewhere to share with us all.

Hehe, looks like your program needs some peptobismal. Neat program though...

it's based on the bullet dynamics?

Yep, it's using Bullet. It's only using bounding boxes for collision for the sake of interactivity so it looks a little funny to see objects seemly suspended in mid air.

I've updated the video (http://www.hurleyworks.com/media/flash/LoadThis/LoadThis.html) after fixing a few bugs and making some tweaks. Now it's working a bit more like it was designed to. I can't believe how much content came with LW 8 ... I could have let it go another 10 minutes :)

Made a bit of progress... you can now view images too. And you can pick or blast your way through your pile of content.:)

Here's a new demo video (http://www.hurleyworks.com/media/flash/MoreLoadThis/MoreLoadThis.html).

and here's a different approach (http://www.hurleyworks.com/media/flash/LoadThis4/LoadThis4.html) to viewing your objects:

Ok... I saw it and have to ask:
- is this part of the Core system or is it something you have coded - a rendered thumbnail of each object?
- mind talking about how this was accomplished?

Thanks Elmar, I'm having a lot of fun playing around with Bullet!

-is this part of the Core system

Hi Robert,

No, it hasn't anything to do with Core. Although it's probably possible to turn it into a Core plugin, since Core's SDK is so open.

or is it something you have coded - a rendered thumbnail of each object

Yes, it's a stand-alone Qt app that I coded that renders object thumbnails and dumps them into a physics engine( Bullet )

For yuks, I also made a stand-alone Qt version of DropBox (http://www.hurleyworks.com/media/flash/dropBox4/dropBox4.html).

Ah.
Thanks for that.
