How to use JBullet

To use Jbullet easily in the new processing 1.0, you can just follow these steps:

1. install Java3D to have access to some standard matrix operations in Processing & Java. What you really need is only the vecmath class. If Processing (depending on the version & settings) still does not see it, put the vecmath.jar inside processing’s libraries\vecmath\library.
2. download Jbullet and be sure that you put jbullet.jar inside processing’s libraries\jbullet\library.
3. restart Processing if it was running.

Download the books.pde source code. And please, if you find this useful, post a link to your sketch or video that you did with this, I’m curious!

Addendum: if you want to use P5sunflow, then use processing v135: the version 1.0 seems not to be working with it. The code of the sketch is compatible, but you have to install the libraries in the processing folder itself.

Web edition

This release can run in your web browser. It uses P3D as software-simulated three dimensional enviroment.

I suggest you try these commands: 1 (then grab a box with right mouse button), then 2 (try zoom with central wheel) and 3 (orbit by dragging outside of a box), 4, 5 (adjust the sizes of the volumes by dragging the top bar) and 6 (custom views).

If you have problems, try downloading the latest Java or watch the Flash video, instead. Built with Processing.

Processing sketch source code

You can also download the full-screen, desktop (Processing) version that runs quite faster thanks to OpenGL. Interactive Landscape Tool (zip).

Special thanks to Axel Kilian for the help during the design explorer class (beginning of the development), the whole Hyperbody Research Group in TU Delft for feedback and the Processing community.
