fix in indexing for maximal coordinates (unused by default, still experimental, requires many iterations for Minitaur due to extreme mass-ratio, hence use of reduces/generalized coordinates)
modify quadruped.py to test maximal coordinates
wrap angular servo (positional) target within [-PI,PI] in btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint
add 'j' key to show body frames in wireframe/debug mode
Expose COV_ENABLE_VR_RENDER_CONTROLLERS, to enable/disable rendering of controllers (and some frames) in VR
Expose COV_ENABLE_RENDERING to enable/disable rendering.
Fix some multi-threading issues (potential crashes), related to debug drawing/rendering in one thread, while changing the dynamics world/removing/resetSimulation in a different thread.
implement friction anchors, position friction correction, disabled by default. Use colObj->setCollisionFlag(flag | CF_HAS_FRICTION_ANCHOR); See test/RobotClientAPI/SlopeFrictionMain.cpp. In URDF or SDF, add <friction_anchor/> in <contact> section of <link> to enable.
PhysicsServer: properly restore old activation state after releasing picked object
btMultiBodyConstraintSolver: disable flip/flop of contact/friction constraint solving by default (it breaks some internal flaky unit tests)
Make btQuickprof thread safe
Add option in btQuickprof to override custom timing profile (btSetCustomEnterProfileZoneFunc, btSetCustomLeaveProfileZoneFunc)
remove b3Printf in a user/physics thread (those added added, while drawing the GUI running in the main thread)
(for example solverInfo().m_leastSquaresResidualThreshold = 1e-7 and use large m_numSolverIterations
disable sphere-sphere contact cache, it is buggy (some contact point stay in the cache, when sphere penetrates more than total margins)
tweak some gpu demo settings
add option to perform filtering of 'getClosestPoints' using linkA/linkB.
don't use 'realtimesimulation' as default
add/remove debug items within same thread
pybullet, report contact points and normal as [x,y,z] triplet/vector, not 3 scalars
separate 'getClosestPointsAlgorithm': box-box doesn't report closest points with positive distance, and the query shouldn't impact regular 'closesst points'
- fixing various race conditions throughout (usage of static vars, etc)
- addition of a few lightweight mutexes (which are compiled out by default)
- slight code rearrangement in discreteDynamicsWorld to facilitate multithreading
- PoolAllocator::allocate() can now be called when pool is full without
crashing (null pointer returned)
- PoolAllocator allocate and freeMemory, are OPTIONALLY threadsafe
(default is un-threadsafe)
- CollisionDispatcher no longer checks if the pool allocator is full
before calling allocate(), instead it just calls allocate() and
checks if the return is null -- this avoids a race condition
- SequentialImpulseConstraintSolver OPTIONALLY uses different logic in
getOrInitSolverBody() to avoid a race condition with kinematic bodies
- addition of 2 classes which together allow simulation islands to be run
in parallel:
- btSimulationIslandManagerMt
- btDiscreteDynamicsWorldMt
- MultiThreadedDemo example in the example browser demonstrating use of
OpenMP, Microsoft PPL, and Intel TBB
- use multithreading for other demos
- benchmark demo: add parallel raycasting
add rolling/spinning friction to cube, remove it from plane/samurai.urdf
URDF2Bullet: support joint limits for revolute and prismatic, only if defined (if upper < lower, disable limit)
add some profiling markers to improve performance
rolling friction -> only along the normal, until we have separate rolling friction coefficients on normal and non-normal directions
Don't teleport with grasping controller (VR)
Tune VR grasping a bit.
store command-line arguments in bulletDemo.txt
save/load of configuration, save demo name instead of index
add setBackgroundColor as example (background_color_red) and
mouse move/wheel speed config (mouse_wheel_multiplier and mouse_move_multiplier)
(saved after changing the demo)
default btIDebugDraw colors can be changed
b3CommandLineArgs::GetCmdLineArgument returns bool, and b3CommandLineArgs::addArgs added
fix copy/paste
