Physics problem

vvvv gamma question
1

Hi, I´m trying to make an interactive menu with some spheres with random movement using the wanderer node. Everything is working, but they are overlapping each other.
I tried with physics, but when I connect the physics node it stops overlapping the spheres but it looses the position of the spheres.
Can someone help me??

The easiest way is to add some variance in the Y direction.

In general, you have to realize that two polygons at the same height will compete with each other. There are other approaches to solving such a problem, but I haven’t looked deeply into your patch.

Thanks, yar
Yes, this would solve the glitch problems that happen when one sphere intersects with another. but they would still overlap.
could you tell me which other ways would you go to solve this?

You have a very large and complex patch, although visually it’s very simple. I can’t understand your idea. As if what you want could have been achieved in a simpler way.

Do you just want discs with text on them?
Your discs are opaque. Do you want them to overlap? How exactly?

I think you need to articulate the problem better to yourself first.

if these are just discs/circles, not spheres, maybe take a look at these skia help patches. “repelling circles” in particular, might be a some inspiration.

And the patch is even bigger… I deleted most of it to make it easier to understand ;-)
I just need some circles with different names that don´t overlap with each other.
I´m now trying with skia spheres

Yes, I just started to work with the repelling circles patch and I think it will work
