The functions work just fine, that's not the issue. The issue is that serializing a particular bvh from one run to the next does not produce identical output. There are pointers in the serialized data that change from one run to the next. These pointers are not used during deserialization, and, in f...

Are we still going to get BVH sharing in 2.71?

It actually assumes TriList. Three indices per triangle.

I am sorry. I misread something and thought it was being filtered before adding.

My mistake!

Doesn't this kind of defeat the point of a wiki? To have everything filter thru one guy before it's added? I understand the desire to have the documentation be accurate, but the point of a wiki is to have everyone be editing and contributing to it directly. You can review the changes and fix or remo...

Well the issue is that is should be able to calculate an aabb without the bvh, so it can't just check for null and fail, I think it needs to check for null and use another method.

I will try out this file soon, but I wanted to let you know that my previous time estimation might have been high. I had some other bugs in the code that influenced everything.

Once I have things stable I will use this file to check the performance.

Thanks!

When you construct a btBvhTriangleMeshShape and set the flag for it to not build it's bvh at construction time and then set the scale on it, it will crash on accessing a null m_bvh pointer down inside processAllTriangles(). The desire is to avoid building the bvh twice when something is scaled. Once...

My project is a streaming world setup using btDbvtBroadphase, and collision only not dynamics. Whenever I stream in new objects and insert them to the collision system I get a noticable hitch (sometimes as long as a quarter to half second). The objects come in groups of a few dozen at a time. A prof...

This is added to the google code issue tracker as well. These lines: 807 rayDirection[0] = btScalar(1.0) / rayDirection[0]; 808 rayDirection[1] = btScalar(1.0) / rayDirection[1]; 809 rayDirection[2] = btScalar(1.0) / rayDirection[2]; Were changed to this: 807 rayDirection[0] = rayDirection[0] == btS...

Added issue #70 with an attach zip contained the changed files.

In my case I have an already calculated aabb in my data. I want to feed that in, and use it instead of letting bullet do any calculation of it. I am in the process of changing btStridingMeshInterface, btTriangleIndexVertexArray, btTriangMeshShape, btBvhTriangleMeshShape. My solution was to make it s...

Currently constructing a btTriangleMeshShape (or in my case a btBvhTriangleMeshShape that is dirived from one), it does a caclulation of the aabb that is pretty expensive. It would be really nice if we could provide an aabb thru the btStridingMeshInterface that would could calculate offline. Do you ...

That is good news that it'll be in 2.71, thanks!

I can make things work for now with it the way it is, and then convert over when this feature is in and save a bunch of memory.

Not to be annoying, but I am curious when it's planned to make it so that the bvh data can be shared? I am at the point in my project where I need to prebuild bvh data and store it in the level/object data. Currently I am forced to create a seperate bvh data for each object instance. This is not onl...
