applyForce() / applyCentralForce() ignored in tick callback?

Apparently, applyForce() / applyCentralForce() are ignored when called from inside the tick callback. Skimming over Bullet's source code, I think this is because the tick callback is invoked when velocity calculations have already been performed. Is this behavior intended? If so, at what time should...

How should I specify friction between two materials?

Hi. I'm new to Bullet and, having worked with Newton in the past, I'm having a hard time understanding how friction works here... In Newton you can specify friction on a material pair basis. You define two materials and then say what the friction is between those two. This corresponds to how I under...

I had a look at the new character controller and the source says some things are missing: /* TODO: * Interact with dynamic objects * Ride kinematicly animated platforms properly * More realistic (or m...
