Real-Time Physics Simulation Forum

So I wrote a basic planet shader which takes a very low poly (32 triangles) sphere and tessellates it to up to 2 million triangles of detail for the surface of the planet. This is a real time dynamic LOD all done with the tessellation processor on the GPU. That means I never store the result. As far...

So I'm working on a project for a company with a warehouse. The goal is to create a simulation in 3d of said warehouse. I've decided that in order to accomplish what they want it would be a great idea to add in some phyics simulation. I have tinkered with bullet in the past for a game engine I'm wor...

btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver *solver = new btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver(); Causes *** glibc detected *** ./build/Applications/Testing/sfml_test: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x09323ab0 *** This code works on other computers. I am running Kubuntu 10.04 on both. I'm wondering if this is ...

*SOLVED*

I'm working on integrating bullet into my game engine, and am running into some issues. I have objects loaded from xml with rigid body data. Then those objects get added into my physics system. But the problem is, those collision objects do not show up in the vector btDiscreteDynamicsWorld::getColli...

I have a static height field for terrain and a sphere which is dynamic and rolls around nicely. However if I replace the ground with a static box for collision, the sphere will bounce once and then fall through. I'm using the most basic setup possible as described in this tutorial, http://www.bullet...

Ok, I was setting everything to be compound. But is it correct to say that you have to use multiple objects. I'm guessing the parent has to be an empty object that is compound, and all child objects are the different parts of the mesh with their own collision shapes? Also, I should mention I'm expor...

Is there a way to define the compound collision shapes in blender, aka muliple collision shapes per objects, say if you have a hammer, I would try to define that as a cylinder for the handle and a box for the head, but I can't seem to get anything but triangle meshes or a single collision shape in b...

nm, I wasn't setting the gravity per object

I finally have it not crashing by not using tri meshes, which I'm pretty sure was a problem on my end with invalid pointers. But now I'm just trying to simulate a sphere, and I've only added one rigid body and am using a discrete world, but I didn't do any setting up the collision callback functions...

I suppose this implied that I was following the collada physics demo, this is not the case. I have been loading models with FCollada for a while and am looking to implement the physics, I at first was trying to load in a triangle mesh and create the btRigidBody from that. But I quickly learned that ...

When I run btDiscreteDynamicsWorld::addRigidBody in my code I get a segmentation fault, I'm creating a rigid body from a triangle mesh loaded from a collada model just to try convex simulation, but when I try to add it to my dynamics world it seg faults, and I have no idea why. The pointer is fine. ...

I tried creating a rigid body in another file that has the same includes and it worked, so it's something to do with this specific file. Sorry to waste your time, and thanks for the support.

I am already including
#include <bullet/btBulletDynamicsCommon.h> which it compiles fine with and I am actually using bullet, I just have not added rigid bodies to the simulation.

I'm currently using the latest version of bullet physics in a project mine, or I should say, am trying to use. I have it up and simulating just fine without adding rigid bodies. I finished up some model loading code and tried to create a rigid body. I should note I'm using GNU Linux (Kubuntu Feisty)...
