Re: Problem with btCompoundShape

check the fractureDemo, it does remove shapes from compounds based on impacts

Re: Bullet Fluids

as far as I know this is the latest implementation :

https://github.com/rtrius/Bullet-FLUIDS

based on fluids v.2
There is also fluids v.3 but don't think there's a bullet implementation for it as of now

Re: Simple callback question

for the casting issue, bullet has recently switched from btCollisionObject to btCollisionObjectWrapper, casting you current function will likely crash when accessing the collision object if you use a recent cut then your callback function should be of this prototype : bool contactAddedCallbackBullet...

Re: Simple callback question

Why isn't gContactAdded not working for you ?

It's called when a new contact is added to the world,
check that either of the rbd pointer is your sphere,
and that should be it ?

Re: Bullet dynamica crash when opening scenes

if you launch maya from a shell with :

maya -d gdb

you should get a stacktrace upon crashing

Re: Bullet dynamica crash when opening scenes

out of curiosity, do you have a stacktrace of the crash ?

on scene load maya nodes are sometimes not completly ready
so most of the operations have to be delayed until the loading
is finished, really not sure without a stack trace but could be the cause.

Re: btSoftBody Mysteries

sparseSDF for sparse Signed Distance Field is a memory structure to figure out the distance from the soft body to its environment and to handle collisions from there, sparse being opposed to a full grid, in this one the values only exists in a sparse grid to allow faster processing. Not sure I under...

Re: Body gets stuck floating after body below it is removed

which bullet version are you using ?

There was a bug recently http://code.google.com/p/bullet/source/detail?r=2593
where the companionId wasn't resetted propertly for kinematic objects
leaving some contacts alive when they should have disapeared

Re: how do implement a collision shape that constantly chang

I implemented that in our version, basically recomputing a collision shape on every frame based on the input mesh. It's not that efficient but really the only way to do it if you don't know if the topology of the mesh is changing per frame or not. Every frame I do compute new collision shape remove ...

Re: Upcoming Bullet 2.81 release, please test trunk version

Been running r2593 since you posted it,
and seems pretty solid, didn't notice any regression so far.

Re: Major contact stability improvement

I might have spoken too soon ... something else came up with the very latest trunk .. didn't happen before, I couldn't reproduce it in the BasicDemo scene though :/ Basically a stack of boxes being hit by a kinematic sphere, and falling down on another box. With the latest trunk some of the boxes go...

Re: Major contact stability improvement

I'm actually getting some regression it looks like regarding friction .. The older version of Bullet we were running (2.76) seemed to work great but using the latest trunk, it looks like we're not getting any more friction at all coming from kinematic bodies. I don't actually have a basic scene to r...
