Thanks to Gregory Jaegy, see Issue 502
Avoid using btTransform to update btSoftBody (bounds are already in worldspace)
Use btConvexHullComputer for soft body cluster debug rendering
Fix soft body demo issue of invisible soft bodies (rendering was not enabled properly)
Main improvements are: GPU cloth collision detection against a capsule shape
,OpenCL-OpenGL interoperability (keeping data buffers on GPU), and bug fixes
Thanks to Lee Howes
Updated the Bullet/Demos/SerializeDemo to load .bullet files with the softbody data.
BulletSoftBody should use getWorldTransform and not getInterpolationWorldTransform
Fix btBulletWorldImporter so that it creates a copy of the index/vertex data, this prevents crashes when deleting the .bullet file with triangle meshes.
Serializes soft body nodes (vertices), links, faces, tetrahedra, materials, anchors with rigid bodies.
Some todo's are serialization of pose, constraints between soft bodies
+ add empty constructors to make Bullet compile using clang.
Thanks to Stillmoon for the report and patch, See http://bulletphysics.org/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5730
+ bullet-2.77/Demos/OpenCLClothDemo/cloth.h:103: error: ‘sprintf’ was not declared in this scope
Thanks to pprkut for the report in Issue 435
+ cmake build fails on Unix systems when using BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. Added pthreads to BulletMultiThreaded
Thanks to pprkut for the report in Issue 434
Added assert to check for positive masses in btCompoundShape::calculatePrincipalAxisTransform, see Issue 399
Fixes for LLVM/GCC compilation issue in btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver
(Untested) fix for Linux 64bit compilation Issue 409
avoid blow-up due to improper mass calculation for fixed nodes (happened when using clusters)
allow to create collision clusters for each tetrahedron or triangle, when using btSoftBody::generateClusters(0)
tweak soft body demos a bit, only draw debug wireframe if necessary
+ Allow user to enable useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil . Use dynamicsWorld->getDispatchInfo().m_useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil = true;
(see Demos/Benchmarks/Benchmark4 (convex objects falling down)
+ Fix for plane drawing (just wire-frame)
+ Gimpact: use collision margin of 0.07 for demo (because BULLET_TRIANGLE_COLLISION is used)
+ replace dot,cross,distance,angle,triple in btVector3 by btDot, btCross,btDistance,btAngle,btDistance to avoid naming conflicts
+ Some fixes in GJK penetration depth normal direction (broken in a previous commit)
+ fix in calculateDiffAxisAngleQuaternion to make ConvexConservativeDistanceUtil work properly
+ allow debug drawing to debug btContinuousConvexCollision
+ add comment/warning that btTriangleMesh::findOrAddVertex is an internal method, users should use addTriangle instead
Added optional flag btSoftBody::appendAnchor( int node,btRigidBody* body, bool disableCollisionBetweenLinkedBodies=false), to disable collision between soft body and rigid body, when pinned
Added btCollisionObject::setAnisotropicFriction, to scale friction in x,y,z direction.
Added btCollisionObject::setContactProcessingThreshold(float threshold), to avoid collision resolution of contact above a certain distance.
Avoid collisions between static objects (causes the CharacterDemo to assert, when a dynamic object hits character)
currently self-collision is always enabled for soft bodies that use clusters collision detectoin. to disable, call 'softbody.m_clusterConnectivity.clear' after 'generateClusters(...) call.
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.
1) re-allocate a pool allocator, if one of the soft body collision algorithms is larger than max pool element size
2) manage child shapes properly, and call RemoveReferences on the m_sparsesdf
added vertex welding option for btTriangleMesh (brute-force slow)
reject appendFace for some degenerate triangles (all 3 vertices/nodes need to be different)
add setVelocity method for btSoftBody
Thanks Martijn Reuvers from Two Tribes B.V. (www.twotribes.com) for the patch
To make this work more visible, suppress warnings in external libraries in Extras (COLLADA_DOM, libxml and glui contain many warnings)
Added PreprocessorDefinitions: _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE;_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to vcproj files
+SoftBody improvements by Nathanael Presson:
+Add tetrahedralization
+Add support for tearing/slicing cloth and deformable volumes. Uncomment the line in Bullet/src/BulletSoftBody/btSoftBodyHelpers.h: //#define BT_SOFTBODY_USE_STL 1
