Hi,
I am quite new to pybullet and I was wondering if I could retrieve the heightfield data which I used to generate the p.createCollisionShape() object.

Code: Select all

if heightfieldSource==useTerrainFromPNG:
  terrainShape = p.createCollisionShape(shapeType = p.GEOM_HEIGHTFIELD, meshScale=[.02,.02,2.4],fileName = "heightmaps/wm_height_out.png")
  textureId = p.loadTexture("heightmaps/gimp_overlay_out.png")
  terrain  = p.createMultiBody(0, terrainShape)
  p.changeVisualShape(terrain, -1, textureUniqueId = textureId)
  p.resetBasePositionAndOrientation(terrain,[0.2,0.5,0.12], [0,0,0,1])
  p.changeVisualShape(terrain, -1, rgbaColor=[1,1,1,1])

This is a code from the heightfield pybullet tutorial,
I wanted a matrix of heights with respect to my robot's current position and orientation.
Will that be possible anyhow?

I've been using rayTestBatch to get that sort of data. If you find another way, I am also interested in it.

Hi, thanks
For now, I did the same and I am looking for further ways of doing the same
