Re: bullet, bsp, performance

Hi gogiii. I've also found bullets speed for static geometry suboptimal. A few other things I've found out: - Set setForceUpdateAllAabbs(false); for your world. - Set setActivationState(DISABLE_SIMULATION); for static collision objects. - Try to keep the number of static objects small. - Batch them ...

Re: Many static objects

Turns out that I've missed to setActivationState(DISABLE_SIMULATION) for my static objects. After applying it the results look much better. Though there is still the overhead of simulation island recalculation and isActive() check for all collision objects. 6500 static objects ...Profiling: stepSimu...

an in-depth comparison (insertion/removal/query/raycast/optimal body counts and sizes...) of broadphase algorithms That would be awesome. If you plan to do it, please share your results. I also recommend to look at/hack the demos to get an idea about the limitations/performance. From my personal us...

Using BVH acceleration structure of btCompoundShape seems to help (debug build, 2400 objects in compound, updateActions runs 4 ray casts). current: ...Profiling: stepSimulation (total running time: 176.646 ms) --- ...0 -- synchronizeMotionStates (0.01 %) :: 0.026 ms / frame (1 calls) ...1 -- interna...

Many static objects

Hi guys, I am working on a car sim. The worlds consist of a lot static geometry with a 1-8 cars and some few dynamic track objects. the cars are using raycasts for wheels. Up until now I've been batching the geometry into a single btBvhTriangleMeshShape. But with the numbers of objects increasing I ...

Re: btGeneric6DofSpringConstraint damping

Assuming that Bullets constraint implementation is based on the one from ODE: http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Manual_%28Joint_Types_and_Functions%29#Stops_and_motor_parameters For the btGeneric6DofSpringConstraint this means that for damping = 0 we have Coloumb friction (m_targetVelocit...

Re: Gears simulation with Bullet

Hi, you will have to write your own code. Bullet has a simple demo vehicle, but it is not a vehicle dynamics simulation library.

btGeneric6DofSpringConstraint damping

Hi, What kind of friction model is used by the btGeneric6DofSpringConstraint? The code doesn't look like it is viscous. I haven't been able to figure out any relation to the viscous damping coefficient or damping rate(damped harmonic oscillator). Is it possible to modify btGeneric6DofSpringConstrain...
