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)
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)
(make sure to merge islands based on those predictive contacts too, added some check in the solver)
This fixes Issue 356.
Use same solver settings for AllBulletDemos
Make sure to embed the setCcdSweptSphereRadius inside the actual collision shape (for shoot box)
This should improve 'ccd' handling when using world->getDispatchInfo().m_useContinuous = true;body->setCcdSquareMotionThreshold(...); body->setCcdSquareMotionThreshold(...)
shoot smaller boxes (test)
use yellow instead of orange for contact point normals
tweak default erp and erp2 values, now split impulse is on by default (need to check it)
Applied picking cloth patch. Fixes Issue 646. Thanks to Dongsoo.
Applied patch Softbody updateConstraints. Fixes Issue 503. Thanks to Dave Bruce Phillips and Dongsoo.
Fix various warnigns under Mac OSX.
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.
If you need tunneling prevention, one option is to use the CCD motion clamping in btDiscreteDynamicsWorld. See also Bullet/Demos/CcdPhysicsDemo.
You can use an embedded sphere that prevents tunneling, using the following settings:
body->setCcdMotionThreshold(0.5);
body->setCcdSweptSphereRadius(0.9f);
Add a camera zoom setting for the demos, thanks to ejtttje, fixes Issue 543
use btConvexPolyhedron for debug rendering, if available
fixes in btConvexConvexAlgorithm for polyhedral contact clipping, if GJK separating normal is zero
don't shift vertices in btPolyhedralConvexShape
Added Demos/ThreadingDemo showing how to use the cross-platform btThreadSupportInterface under Windows.
Added Demos/ParticlesOpenCL showing how to run the NVidia particle demo under OpenCL implementations by AMD, NVidia and MiniCL (CPU)
improve serialization based on feedback: make it easier to serialize a single object, or single shape, or single bvh.
Modified Bullet/Demos/ConcaveDemo to use btSerializer to serialize the btOptimizedBvh (or optionally the trimesh+bvh)
You can also serialize trimesh without BVH, use:
serializer->setSerializationFlags(BT_SERIALIZE_NO_BVH);// or BT_SERIALIZE_NO_TRIANGLEINFOMAP
Toggle between point to point and generic 6dof constraint for mouse picking in the demos
Use a 'equal vertex thresdhold' in the btVoronoiSimplexSolver of 0.0001f by default.
This can be disabled (or configured) using defaultCollisionConfiguration->getSimplexSolver()->setEqualVertexThreshold(0.f);
See http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=305
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)
