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)
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)
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.
changes are backwards compatible (btBulletWorldImporter can load old .bullet files)
but not forwards compatible (constraints in new .bullet files are ignored/unrecognized by old Bullet SDK)
This commit is for Issue 734. Some more work needs to be done for btGImpactMeshShapeDoubleData and thus btStridingMeshInterfaceDoubleData and btMeshPartDoubleData
fix vehicle demo (heightfield is broken, when using very large scaling factor)
add btConeShape serialization, see Issue 725
add btGearConstraint get/set, see Issue 685 and Issue 671
rayResult.m_flags |= btTriangleRaycastCallback::kF_UseGjkConvexRaytest;
See Demos/RaytestDemo/RaytestDemo.cpp for usage
This fixes issue 146, longest outstanding from 2008.
Enable btGImpact raycast optimization, thanks to C0DEFACE, see Issue 664
Cull triangle/AABB for concave/heightfield shapes, thanks to Danny Chapman
fix btGetCpuCapabilities, thanks to Ian Ollman! See https://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=738
(converted raw data to .cpp so it doesn't need to be loaded from disk)
Some optimizations for btHeightfieldShape, thanks to Danny Chapman
Quick check on AABB (was not done) and reduce calls to 'getVertex'
add compound shape support to BulletXmlWorldImporter and fix some compile issue under Debian (hopefully)
object picking change in the demos: create a ball-socket picking constraint when holding shift while mouse dragging, otherwise a fixed (6dof) constraint
add assert in constraint solver, when both objects have their inertia tensor rows set to zero
btPolyhedralContactClipping: add edge-edge contact point in findSeparatingAxis (similar to the default GJK case)
update AntTweakBar version in CDTestFramework
add btCompoundShape support in BulletXmlWorldImporter (this importer is still premature/work-in-progress)
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)
Note that it can easily introduce instability at regular (60Hertz) simulation steps so it is generally best to not use the option.
If needed, use a very small internal step, such as 1000 Hertz (world->stepSimulation(dt,100,1./1000.f); or stepSimulation(1./1000.,0);
