A fake chain simulation written using Microsoft XNA 3.0. It is meant to mimic a rigid body simulation by using a cheaper alternative: a soft body simulator. Length constraints are used to maintain the distances between the chain segments, which makes the whole chain look like it is undergoing some kind of collision handling.

I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both tech and art. My life evolves round VFX, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks / sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming, including fluid sims, muscles, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in VFX.
I was interviewed by The Straits Times in May 2014 for my VFX work in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Listen, I really need to know how to do this, could you please spare some coding instructions?
Hey! I’ve actually written a soft body physics tutorial that teaches you how to do it from scratch in XNA: http://cg.skeelogy.com/introduction-to-soft-body-physics-in-xna/. Comes complete with source codes!
