improve CollisionDemo.cpp, show multi-contact generation using perturbation
improve ColladaConverter: add hinge/point 2 point constraint conversion support, add btScaledTriangleMeshShape support
Fix Dynamica MayaPlygin: remove 'active' flag, it has to be replaced by mass=0 for active, mass<>0 for passive
Added missing projectfiles
Fixed single-shot contact generation. it is disabled by default to improve performance
Bugfixes for character controller, thanks to John McCutchan for reporting
Constraint solver: better default settings
btDefaultAllocator: aligned allocator uses non-aligned allocator (instead of directly malloc/free)
disable memalign by default, use Bullet's aligned allocator
Note: ColladaConverter will export a btGImpactConvexDecompositionShape the same as a btCompoundShape, so importing an exported btGImpactConvexDecompositionShape (roundtrip) creates a btCompoundShape
Please see HfFluidDemo.cpp for examples of how to use the height field fluid along with buoyant collision shapes.
The implementation is still lacking in my ways:
1) Need to complete more collision algorithms for buoyant collision shapes
2) Support compound buoyant shapes
3) The buoyancy model isn't that great
4) Fluid volume can be lost over time
1) Add fast branchless SIMD support for constraint solver (Windows only until we get other contributions).
See resolveSingleConstraintRowGenericSIMD in Bullet/src/BulletDynamics/ConstraintSolver/btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver.cpp
resolveSingleConstraintRowGenericSIMD can be used for all constraints, including contact, point 2 point, hinge, generic etc.
2) During this refactoring, all constraints support the obsolete 'solveConstraintObsolete' while we add 'getInfo1' and 'getInfo2' support.
This interface is almost identical interface to Open Dynamics Engine, to make it easier to port Dantzig LCP solver.
3) Some minor refactoring to reduce huge constructor overhead in math classes.
Add Concave Convexcast demo back in AllBulletDemos, and tweaked it a bit.
Fix view frustum of ForkLiftDemo (caused picking to fail)
Removed innerloop profiling for ray and convex casts, it hurts performance.
Set default #aabb's in CDTestFramework to 8192
1) creating a broadphase proxy -> adding pairs during insertion. But during this pair insertion, the btGhostObject broadphase handle isn't set yet (it is done in step 2)
2) assign the broadphase proxy to btGhostObject
Thanks to ihar3d for the report http://bulletphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2864
Some cleanup for ForkLiftDemo
Enable textures for ConcavePhysicsDemo,
Added scaling to BasicDemo to show small objects (20 centimeter)
Removed demos from 'AllBulletDemos': less (clutter) = more
Disable libxml LIBXML_MODULE_EXTENSION
Fixed include path in btConeTwistConstraint (it should be relative to src folder, not using ../../ )
Thanks to ejtttje, http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=129
Don't create a todo list for doxygen by default (the chaotic todo's would confuse most developers)
Improve support for small objects, by having dynamic contact breaking thresholds. Still needs small internal timestep and some GJK improvements.
BulletMultiThreaded/NarrowPhaseCollision makes use of this boxBoxDistance.
Cache some values in src/BulletMultiThreaded/SpuContactManifoldCollisionAlgorithm.cpp, to avoid DMA transfers
2) Added btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil: this allows caching of separating distance/vector as early-out to avoid convex-convex collision detection.
btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil is used in src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btConvexConvexAlgorithm.cpp and can be controlled by btDispatcherInfo.m_useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil/m_convexConservativeDistanceThreshold
3) Use BulletMultiThreaded/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath_aos.h as fallback for non-PlayStation 3 Cell SPU/PPU platforms (used by boxBoxDistance).
Note there are other implementations in Extras/vectormath folder, that are potentially faster for IBM Cell SDK 3.0 SPU (libspe2)
It is a fast way to keep track of overlapping objects in an area, and doing rayTest and convexSweepTest for overlapping objects, instead of btCollisionWorld::rayTest/convexSweepTest.
Updated KinematicCharacterController to use btPairCachingGhostObject.
Renamed collideRay -> rayTest to reflect change to (rayFrom,rayTo) interface.
Re-use btRayAabb2 function from src/LinearMath/btAabbUtil2.h in btDbvt instead of duplicated implementation.
