SketchyPhysics SkIndigo Animation One Step Closer to Reality

Chris Phillips has released SketchyPhysics3 beta. It includes several changes since the alpha version but the most notable change for me is this:
Added interface code to SketchyReplay to allow renders to call an export
This will allow me to add SkIndigo animation support for SketchyPhysics very easily without having to hack into the code. I had already created a 'proof-of-concept' SkethyPhysics/SkIndigo animation awhile ago but I had to modify the SP code to do it:

If you have never heard of SketchyPhysics, try doing a search on Youtube. There's some really cool animations that have been done by users and by Chris. Being able to render these animations should be pretty exciting and open up some really cool possibilities.

  2. Chris Phillips added an API to SP3 that can be used to call a rendering plugin.

  3. Hi, Dale! How's the SketchyReplay rendering implementation going? Is it really that hard when compared to regular, non-SketchyReplay simulation render?

  4. I mean, hard to implement, not hard for the user.
