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
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)
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)
Turned on by default, use m_useOffsetForConstraintFrame = false to use old setup
Use "O" (capital 'o') button to toggle it in SliderConstraintDemo and ConstraintDemo
Total applied impulse copied back from btSolverConstraint to btTypedConstraint
1) add AabbCaching versions of btPolyhedralConvexShape and btMultiSphereShape (this speeds up btMultiSphereShape 'getAabb', and reduces size of btBoxShape)
2) btCylinderShape doesn't derive from btBoxShape anymore
+ Minor fixes in drawing for btMultiSphereShape, btBoxShape.
+ Don't re-generate btDebugFont every frame
+ Disabled velocity prediction for btDbvtBroadphase. Previous default can be restored using btDbvtBroadphase->setVelocityPrediction(1./2.);
Please see HfFluidDemo.cpp for examples of how to use the height field fluid along with buoyant collision shapes.
The implementation is still lacking in my ways:
1) Need to complete more collision algorithms for buoyant collision shapes
2) Support compound buoyant shapes
3) The buoyancy model isn't that great
4) Fluid volume can be lost over time
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.
btDbvtBroadphase:
- Fixed a performance issues reported by 'reltham'
- Added btDbvtBroadphase::optimize() for people who want good performances right away or don't do dynamics.
- fixed compilation issues when DBVT_BP_PROFILE was set.
btSoftBody:
- Fixed singular matrix issues related to polar decomposition (flat meshes).
DemoApplication:
- Shadows (enable/disable through 'g' or DemoApplication::setShadows(bool)).
- Texture can be enable/disable through 'u'
CDFramework:
- fixed compilation issues.
move btShapeHull and btConvexHull into its own library in Extras/ConvexHull (it allocates memory using mem/delete and refactoring into using btAlignedAlloc/Free takes too much time)
fix heightfield / btOptimizedBvh for quantization, so that raycast can use quantized aabb (clamp up for maxima and down for minima)
work-in-progress (update projectfiles etc)
Add option to compile without btClock and without profiling: comment out USE_BT_CLOCK, and #define BT_NO_PROFILE
Fixed typo/case in #include "LinearMath/btQuickProf.h", in SpuParallelSolver.cpp
Removed unnecessary files from libxml CMakeLists.txt
Thanks Jay for reporting
Added braking capability to btRaycastVehicle, see Bullet/Demos/VehicleDemo/VehicleDemo.cpp
Added glutKeyboardUpFunc, for vehicle demo (keep accelerating/breaking, until key released/UP). Hope this is compatible with most GLUT implementations.
CompoundShapes are tricky to manage with respect to persistent contact points and swapped order of btCollisionObjects,
During dispatch, finding an algorith etc. order can be swapped.
fixed several other issues, related to SimpleBroadphase (removing a proxy was not working)
Fixed memoryleak in btOptimizedBvh (delete []m_contiguousNodes;)
Changed DemoApplication::localCreateRigidBody, so it adds the rigidbody to the btDynamicsWorld.
Added check for duplicate objects in world when adding.
Added assert to prevent setLinearVelocity on static rigidbodies
Added btCollisionFilterGroups to btBroadphaseProxy
removed duplicate 'btBroadphaseProxy* m_broadphaseProxy;' in btRigidBody
removed two cached optimizations, type in btTransform and cached inverse transform (todo: test performance impact)
committed fixes that make the code adhere to 'who creates it, also destroys it'
* Unused variables.
* Missing newlines at ends of #included files.
* signed int loop variables where the termination condition is an unsigned 'get number of' function.
* 'NULL' used inappropriately for an integer or character constant (NULL is a pointer)
* abstract base classes with no virtual destructor.
* Floating point constants used to initialise integer variables.
