Bullet 2.69 SDK released: split impulse, tear/pick soft body

Post by Erwin Coumans »

Bullet 2.69 Physics SDK is released from revision 1175. See a YouTube movie of the latest demos

+ Added split impulse support, penetration recovery won't add momentum
+ cloth/soft body improvements: picking (pick and drag), tearing (click and release without mouse move), preliminary support for btSoftBody versus compound and concave trimesh
+ Added new btDbvtBroadphase, based on dynamic AABB tree. It has the capability to do view frustum culling and front-to-back traversal. See Extras\CDTestFramework for view frustum culling sample.
+ Enabled new btGjkEpa2 penetration depth solver, thanks to Nathanael
+ Provide access to all persistent manifolds for a given btBroadphasePair, see CharacterDemo for sample usage

Code: Select all

if (collisionPair->m_algorithm)
    collisionPair->m_algorithm->getAllContactManifolds(manifoldArray);
+ Added linear and angular motor for btSliderConstraint
+ Add penetration depth test for convexSweepTest
+ removed several warnings for Windows build, thanks to Martijn Reuvers
+ Added Mac Cocoa Xcode project, thanks to TomorrowPlus
+ use collision margin of btBvhTriangleMeshShape for convexTest, Thanks to reltham for the contribution.
+ added custom memory allocator registration, thanks to Sly.

Download Bullet 2.69 from the Bullet repository at Google Code.

Thanks for all the feedback, and enjoy,
Erwin

Hi,

couldn't find the doc about soft/cloth simulation/usage. Is there any?
Or do I have to read demo codes?

Best Regards,

Craouette

Mentioned this already somewhere before so I thought it gets included but did not so far. For doing proper and especially universally usable RigidBody->Limbo constraints it is required to have additional constructors. Made a little patch with those changes I require for my project to work. Just adds to the constraints I tested it with each one constructor accepting one rigid body but having the frame parameters for both frames.
