Dynamica Compound Objects

Post by jwcsdy2001 »

Hi,

I'm using Dynamica for MAYA 2010 to build my model. Some of the shapes are assembled by boxes. I think it is not that complex that I have to use mesh. However, if I use convex hull, the model is not what I really want. Is it possible to create a "compound shape" type by Dynamica?

this is a planned future feature...

if you're shapes are simple, you could try using 6dof constraints between each piece.

Hopefully we get to create compound shapes (btCOmpoundShape).

In particular, I'm hoping to integrate the new convex decomposition library:
