Obviously it isn&#8217;t random &#8212; it&#8217;s physics. However, the uncontrolled degrees of freedom allow for variation and complex combinations of movements that make the curtains seem to flow in an un-ordered fashion. I wanted to create the scene of submerged aquatic vegetation flowing at the bottom of a shallow body of water. To accomplish this illusion, I duplicated the curtain robot to have a front middle and back curtain. The front and back have 16 chains while the middle one has only 13 to add to the disorder of the system. I also flipped the camera upside down and reduced the gravity of the environment to be only 1 m\/s^2. This, along with the blue background is my best attempt at making the robot appear underwater. Maybe this string of input commands could also be used to create a scene with fire or something of that nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-208162de-87b4-4510-85e5-9221efadcef1\" href=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WebotsSubmission-2.zip\">WebotsSubmission<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WebotsSubmission-2.zip\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-208162de-87b4-4510-85e5-9221efadcef1\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submerged aquatic vegetation flowing underwater For my curtain animation, I noticed how if I used the left and the right commands to mix up the curtain chains, they&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2721"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2721"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2767,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2721\/revisions\/2767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-375\/f2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
