+SoftBody improvements by Nathanael Presson:
+Add tetrahedralization
+Add support for tearing/slicing cloth and deformable volumes. Uncomment the line in Bullet/src/BulletSoftBody/btSoftBodyHelpers.h: //#define BT_SOFTBODY_USE_STL 1
- replaced all usage of heapSort by quickSort
- finished btMultiSapBroadphase. Still some work to be done to increase performance (faster add/remove from child broadphases.
uses currently AABB tree to locate child broadphase (should use grid), and sorted array takes too much time.
- applied a large patch to remove warnings
Thanks to Enrico, see http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1568
- removed SSE includes, added #incude <string.h> for memset in Extras/quickstep, thanks Eternl Knight
- disabled 16-byte alignement on btQuadWord class, it causes problems under PS3 Linux. Need to check out why.
boxbox reports contact point in B, rather then average point
box, cylinder use halfextents corrected for scaling and margin. made the margin in this halfextents explicit in the 'getHalfExtentsWithMargin' and 'getHalfExtentsWithoutMargin'
integrated changed for ODE quickstep solver
replaced inline with SIMD_FORCE_INLINE
some minor optimizations in the btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver
added cone drawing (for X,Y,Z cones)
added hashtable based PairManager, thanks Pierre Terdiman and Erin Catto
improved friction in 'cachefriendly' solver
moved 'refreshcontactpoints' into collision detection, instead of solver
avoid linear search for contact manifolds, by storing an index
ignore margin for sphere shape (its entire radius is already margin)
avoid alignment checks in BVH serialization, they don't compile on 64-bit architectures
made 'bomb' box more heavy
- 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);
It leads to problems with certain compilers, when Bullet/src is located in a long pathname.
Keep include path starting with "LinearMath/, "BulletCollision/, or "BulletDynamics/
support user-defined broadphase collision filtering (thanks Marten)
make sure btSimpeDynamicsWorld doesn't use cache friendly optimization in the solver (added an assert, and updated BasicDemo)
Thanks tbp for more details on reproducing case.
- Fixed issue with full 32bit integers in btAxisSweep3 (define BP_USE_FIXEDPOINT_INT_32), it used only 65536 for quantization, it should use full integer space (0xffffffff)
- Added 'getForwardVector' and getCurrentSpeedKmHour utility functions to btRaycastVehicle
- Fixed local scaling issues (btConvexTriangleMeshShape, btBvhTriangleMeshShape, removed scaling from btMatrix3x3). Thanks Volker for reporting!
- Added second filename search, so that starting BspDemo and ConvexDecompositionDemo from within Visual Studio (without setting the starting path) still works
