Real-Time Physics Simulation Forum

Thank you very much basroli for the insight. My goal here is to figure out the best way to have one very large sphere orbit a central point with a smaller sphere rotating around the bigger sphere all the while both of the spheres rotating on their axis(like planets in orbit around their sun). Player...

For the potential amount of physics objects I have this sounds really demanding. I may try and figure out a way to do it in a separate thread unless that sounds too disastrous.

Thank you for your response. From what I'm understanding, during stepping, presumably before physics calculation begins, I can calculate the gravity value for each actor individually and instead of applying forces I can actually define each actor's gravity value? For example if I have a sphere rolli...

Thank you for the quick response! I figured I would need to have the entire world zero gravity and apply forces to simulate gravity. How do you suggest this will effect performance? Constantly applying a force to simulate gravity on objects would mean they would never go into their sleep state wasti...

Hello! This is my first post on the bullet forums and I've been doing a lot of research lately, specifically research on how to apply gravity to an actor on a sphere. I've done numerous Google searches on the topic and have found not a single topic that covers this. I was hoping someone could shed s...
