Hello, How do you manage complex scenes in SuperPhysical? In the girlpower patches, Cons nodes are used to add different objects to the scene, their properties, their materials… Not really convenient when you start to use more than five objects, and you need to manipulate them, spread them, or ma…

Hi, you absolutely have a point here. This contribution was not designed to handle large scenes. I think having a lot of different instances of the shader doesn’t really make sense, still the lighting of a scene should be the same for every object and there would be too much redundancy. What wou…

Hi, Thank you mburk. I’m thinking about the best way to create a basic file manager for SuperPhysical. First thoughts: Import a model in a subpatch called like “ImportModel” (one subpatch per model, easier to manage the settings for each model) automatically put the textures associated to t…

I’m searching a way to avoid Cons nodes (they are not convenient for dynamically changing number of input). I found this post by dottore: [image] Dynamic remote spreads concatenation vvvv beta featu…

Hey, thanks for your thoughts. Very interesting, I will look into it. I was away for a bit and only now saw your post.

Hello, There is a first draft here: [image] Dynamic Concatenation vvvv beta question Hi, I’d like to know if there is a way to concatenate a dynamic number of values? A simp…

You can find here a first working (I hope!) version of a SuperPhysical object manager: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/psnus973jjvz00t/AAD9FApD_xyCs0yvoup6KDkpa?dl=1 (there is the full pack here, put it in the packs folder) [image] Feel free to add it to the contrib if you think it’s useful and not t…

Wow…you really put some effort into this. Seems like a nice addition to the contribution. I will see how I will integrate this with the next bugfix release of SuperPhysical. Maybe this should be a separate download because the example assets are getting a bit big now, but let’s see. Anyway, cheers!

Also one more thing: The FileManager needs a lot of ticks, but it can be deevaluated as soon as all the Objects are loaded, as all the data is held by the pipeline.

Hello, Yes you’re right, the FileManager is very expensive in terms of ticks… Could be deevaluated easily, but sometimes you need to animate some parameters (this is my case). That’s why I think it’s not a good solution for SuperPhysical, just a workaround for my short terms needs! Basicaly, the…
