Re: btBoxShape with different origin

I'm not entirely sure why you would want to do this. If you can describe the type of effect you are trying to achieve that would help in getting an answer. If it is a graphics issue that should be handled on the graphics side. If you are trying to get the center of mass changed that's a different qu...

I have run into an interesting case where the physics solver is adding a fictitious torque. I have a small box/square landing on a larger box/square. It lo...
