9b44762519 pass the settings to create a FeatherstoneMultiBody as a struct, instead of all individual parameters 2013-10-22 22:36:43 +00:00

488dd44835 Added btMultiBodyPoint2Point, it can be used between btMultiBody vs btMultiBody or btMultiBody vs btRigidBody
Allow picking of btMultiBody, using a btMultiBodyPoint2Point constraint, with limited strength to avoid adding too much energy to the system (= blowup)
Add btMultiBodyJointMotor, it can be used in combination with joint limit (just add the joint limit after the motor, to avoid jitter)

f02dd51597 Added a first version of a Featherstone multi body implementation.
The original version was written by Stephen Thompson.
I replaced Eigen math by Bullet LinearMath, and added a dedicated 6x6 matrix solver. 
Also I integrated support for collisions/contact constraints between btMultiBody and btRigidBody, and de-activation support.
See Demos/FeatherstoneMultiBodyDemo/Win32FeatherstoneMultiBodyDemo.cpp for example usage.
There is currently only support for contact constraints for btMultiBody. 
Next on the list will be adding support for joint limit constraint for btMultiBody. 
The implementation is still experimental/untested, the quality will improve in upcoming Bullet releases.
