+ improved btSubsimplexConvexCast, btContinuousConvexCollision and btGjkConvexCast to support configuration that start in touching/penetration, required for 'sliding'.
+ added files to CMakeLists.txt for CharacterController
+ bump up version to 2.70 (preparation for beta)
+ improved friction warm starting
+ made constraint solver configuration more consistent (moved m_solverMode into btContactSolverInfo)
+ reset timing in CDTestFramework after initialization (SAP init destorts timings)
+ make it easier to change default sizes for stack allocator in btDefaultCollisionConfiguration
virtual void getAllContactManifolds(btManifoldArray& manifoldArray)
See Demos/CharacterDemo/CharacterDemo.cpp for example usage of getAllContactManifolds
Added btDbvtBroadphase to btBulletCollisionCommon.h headerfile
Enable soft body vs concave (albeit slow)
Improved contact point debug rendering (moved from constraint solver into debugDrawWorld)
Add option to compile without btClock and without profiling: comment out USE_BT_CLOCK, and #define BT_NO_PROFILE
Fixed typo/case in #include "LinearMath/btQuickProf.h", in SpuParallelSolver.cpp
Removed unnecessary files from libxml CMakeLists.txt
- improved friction model for parallel solver (align the friction direction with projected velocity, unless the projection is close to zero (only then use 2 arbitrary axis orthogonal to contact normal)
boxbox reports contact point in B, rather then average point
box, cylinder use halfextents corrected for scaling and margin. made the margin in this halfextents explicit in the 'getHalfExtentsWithMargin' and 'getHalfExtentsWithoutMargin'
integrated changed for ODE quickstep solver
replaced inline with SIMD_FORCE_INLINE
some minor optimizations in the btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver
added cone drawing (for X,Y,Z cones)
- added bt32BitAxisSweep3, which co-exists without recompilation, using template class. This broadphase is recommended for large worlds with many objects (> 16384), until btMultiSwap is finished.
- Fixed some recent issues in Bullet 2.57 related to compound (thanks Proctoid) and memory allocations
Some dynamic memory allocations have been replace by pool allocation or stack allocations.
quantized aabb versus quantized aabb overlap check is made branch-free (helps a lot on consoles PS3/XBox 360)
Collision algorithms are now created through a new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration, to decouple dependency (this is the API change):
Example:
btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfiguration = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
m_dispatcher = new btCollisionDispatcher(collisionConfiguration);
Original aabb nodes are 44 bytes (with full floating point precision and additional part index)
- added meter-unit scaling support in ColladaConverter.cpp
- contact points are persistent (lifetime more then one frame, for warmstarting/incremental contact point management)
- continuous collision detection, time of impact
Added btRigidBody::isInWorld(), returns true if btRigidBody is inside a btCollisionWorld/btDynamicsWorld derived class
Added angularFactor to btRigidbody, this helps some character control (no angular impulse applied)
