Use btCylinderShapeZ for URDF cylinder, instead of converting it to a btConvexHullShape.
Implement PyBullet.getCollisionShapeData
Extend PyBullet.getDynamicsInfo / b3GetDynamicsInfo, remove flag (don't rely on API returning a fixed number of elements in a list!)
Extend PyBullet.getJointInfo: add parentIndex
Option to de/serialize btPersistentContactManifolds and fix lossy conversion during btMultiBody de/serialization of base world transform
(serialize the quaternion, not the converted 3x3 matrix)
There are still several caches not taken into account, and btMultiBody links/constraints are not deserialized yet etc.
See examples\pybullet\examples\saveRestoreState.py for an example.
render the inertia boxes in examples/pybullet/examples/quadruped.py and examples/pybullet/examples/reset_dynamic_info.py
fix an issue where the original margin (0.04) was used to compute the inertia, instead of latest margin
Over time, some of those functions can be moved into separate plugins, similar to vrSyncPlugin (either statically/dynamically linked plugins or dynamically loaded at run-time)
vr_kuka_control.py: control all joints, use analogue button to close gripper
remove some debug warnings/prints
pybullet, avoid crash in changeUserConstraint if not passing a [list]
allow some gym environments (pybullet_pendulum and locomotors) to re-use an existing physics client connection.
option to disable tinyrenderer, use p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_TINY_RENDERER,0)
also make sure to use p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_RENDERING,0) before loadURDF, and enable rendering afterwards using p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_RENDERING,1)
reorder 2 loops, making the flip texels twice as fast (cache coherency),
single memcpy of entire texture in tinyrenderer, instead of per-pixel copy (memory layout is the same)
add lots of B3_PROFILE timings, to see where time is going
pass events (keyboard, mouse, vr controllers etc) to the plugin, and clear them after the tick callback, so that it doesn't interfere with Python 'getEvents'
add option to recompute forward kinematics, to be consistent with link velocities in pybullet.getLinkState (..., computeForwardKinematics=0/1), thanks to Jeff Bingham for bringing up this inconsistency
The server command processor actually didn't do anything with
the local point that was passed along with the calculateJacobian
command. Added in the necessary bit of math to return the
corresponding jacobian.
Also, fixed a typo in pybullet that was returning the same
jacobian for translation and rotation.
* Add the calculateJacobian method to the pybullet API.
* Adjust the shared memory interface to handle fixed/floating bases
in the calculateJacobian method.
* Fix a few comments.
Add preTickPluginCallback/postTickPluginCallback
User pointer for b3PluginContext, to store objects (class/struct instances)
Pass ints and floats as optional argument for plugin executePluginCommand
