Ogre3D and bullet: plain bullet or OgreBullet ?

[gokoon]

Hello,

I have an Ogre3D application, and all I need is collision detection.

I need an honest opinion, I already managed to link bullet into my project, created a CollisionWorld, but I'm still a little lost... To begin I just want to detect collisions with simple btSphereShape.

Should I use btOgre instead ?

If you want to have a premade solution which can possibly suit more advanced needs in the future, such as active rigid body dynamics, go with btOgre.
Otherwise, if you just want to do collision detection, btOgre, or any wrapper, would bring more overhead than you need.

I'd suggest making a btCollisionObject, setting its transform information, and then running world->ContactTest(sphereThing,&callbackResult)
where sphereThing is a btCollisionObject*
and callbackResult is a btCollisionWorld::ContactResultCallback.

So each frame I need to set a new worldtransform ?
