Real-Time Physics Simulation Forum

First of all, the bullet physics model is incredibly realistic. Very good work.

Request: I agree with PILDANOVAK: for same kind of games is very important to disable the "rigid body" attribute. For example if you are managing a character in an action game you don't want the guy falling down after a collision with a wall.

Question: I was testing your build with simple models (a plane, a cube and an actuator), and in order to make a comparison I switched between SUMO and BULLET. I noticed that if the sumo model is used, dynamic objects vibrate with no explanation: just put a cube (dynamic) on top of a plane and let it fall. (the same blend file with the binary distributed in blender-org doesn't vibrate that way).
On the other hand, I compiled Blender 2.37a on my computer with MS Visual Studio 6, and I noticed the same effect.

Are you using VS6 too ? Any hint of what is the reason of the vibration?

Thanks

A solution for characters and vehicles will be added later, first getting the basics there. Also collision sensor and other parts needs to be hooked up.

My focus in on Bullet Physics, I don't know about Sumo internals . Probably Sumo will be removed once Bullet has covered most cases in one of future releases. I'm using both visual studio 8 (2005 beta2).
