Realflow scripting

I made a realflow script! It's awesome. Or at least it's awesome because it's my first one. Anyway, trying to find places up upload it so here's a good place!

So what does it do? I'm glad you asked! So this little guy sets up initial velocities and rotations for rigid bodies. Basically if you just need to get you rigid bodies moving you are much better of just setting some initial values. But if you have more than 10 objects setting each one by hand can be a pain. So this script automates that process. To use this script import your rigid bodies. They must have translation values (don't import 'frozen' geometry).


1. Create an object that will be the center of you force.
2. Run the script.
3. In the dialouge box, select the objects you want to make rigid bodies.
4. In the dialouge box, select the object you want to make the center point.
5. Input a maximum speed for the regid bodies.
6. Input a maximum rotational speed for the rigid bodies.
7. Press OK.


I've only tested this in Realflow 2012, so I can't tell if it'll work in earlier versions. Anyway, download it and try it, before my mobileMe gets taken away from Apple, boo :(
