Apply patch for CMake config, see Issue 754 (Issue 753)
Fix a few issue with the MLCP solver: allow split impulse, and fix offset in friction dependencies
Added a PGS solver that uses the sparsity of the A matrix, just for testing (the equivalent sequential impulse solver is much faster, not having to allocate the big matrices)
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.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV7sBAsKu4M and Bullet/Demos/RollingFrictionDemo
Fixes in FractureDemo (mouse picking constraint needs to be removed, otherwise constraint solver crashes/asserts)
warmstarting for contact points was broken, fix in btPersistentManifold
enable split impulse by default (at the cost of some performance)
add the option for zero-length friction (instead of recomputing friction directions using btPlaneSpace), use the solver mode flag SOLVER_ALLOW_ZERO_LENGTH_FRICTION_DIRECTIONS
precompute lateral friction directions (in btManifoldResult)
remove the mConstraintRow[3] from btManifoldPoint, it just took a lot of memory with no benefits: fixed it in btParallelConstraintSolver
For OSX:
cd build
./premake_osx xcode4
for iOS:
cd build
./ios_build.sh
./ios_run.sh
Also integrated the branches/StackAllocation to make it easier to multi-thread collision detection in the near future. It avoids changing the btCollisionObject while performing collision detection.
As this is a large patch, some stuff might be temporarily broken, I'll keep an eye out on issues.
Serialization: remove obsolete autogenerated headers
Minor changes in btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver: split methods to make it easier to derive from the class and add functionality.
Tweak the BenchmarkDemo a bit:
1) disable deactivation in graphical mode
2) add some settings that increase performance in the BenchmarkDemo2 (1000 stack) from 35ms to 15ms on this quad core (at the cost of a bit of quality)
Also comment-out some code for __SPU__ to reduce code size
Added btContactConstraint (only used on PS3 SPU right now, better to use btPersistentManifold directly for contact constraints)
Improved readblend utility library (see also usage in http://gamekit.googlecode.com with Irrlicht)
Fix for btConvexConvexAlgorithm, potential division by zero
Thanks linzner http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=260
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)
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.
+ 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
- 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);
