Hi there, I am looking for further references with regards to the topic of: "Collision Detection and Response for Computer Animation", Matthew Moore and Jane Wilhelms. Which appeared in : ACM Computer Graphics, Vol: 22, No: 4, Aug 1988 I am particularly interested in : Some more joint restraints. eg. pin joints, screw joints, sliding joints The authors address some of these but I am looking for one equation (in 3 coordinates) for each joint, if at all possible. How joint objects behave when they are not colliding. ie. does the fact that they are joined make a difference to non-impulsive motion. eg. a falling chain which is not attached to a fixed object. I will probably think of some more questions later, but these will do for now. 8^). Thanks in advance, Richard.
