hi,

I am reading documents for getting started with Bullet. However, I am quite confused with how Bullet integrate with Blender. Using Bullet inside Blender environment is fine, but how to load .blend by Bullet library? I can't find any functions to deal with it.

Can I develop a standalone application with Bullet which can use Blender's 3D object but not include Blender itself?

Thanks.

You can use COLLADA Physics export feature in Blender to export 3d objects, including some rigidbody/collision detection/constraint information. Bullet has a Collada importer (see ColladaDemo).

Alternatively, you can can check the OgreBullet demo by Charlie, it has .blend import. It is work in progress. See http://www.continuousphysics.com/Bullet ... 9&start=15
