Ogre & Bullet

[Erwin Coumans]

Bullet is hosted at sourceforge, is there a way to create a mailinglist there?

With respect to inheritance versus encapsulation, you will make the project a bit more dependent. An encapsulation wrapper might protect a bit better against potential Bullet changes (although I try to minimize to change existing interface now). But ts a good idea from maintenance perspective, so yo don't need to mirror every new Bullet feature.

I will get back to you about this 'scalar' version of the interface, I have to think about the implications but I can consider it.

I'm going toward inheritance wrapper instead of encapsulation wrapper.

@erwin :
- Is there or can we have a "svn-commit" mailing list ?
- As I'd like to know if you intend to add non-btvector3, btquaternion methods :
Idea would be to have both

Code: Select all

 btrigigbody::setLinearVelocity(btVector3) 

and

Code: Select all

 btrigigbody::setLinearVelocity(x,y,z)

the latter would be usable directly from Ogre code ?
As I have to make new getter anyway, it's certainly not mandatory in Bullet core Code, but may help other "wrappers" or even c-physic interface

In the sf admin panel. there is the subversion hook script you might want to enable too.

That and wrap code just add cpu/mem overhead.

Let me know about that. From an efficiency side, It would save wrapper a btVector3 ot btQuaternion instance creation at each call.

I'll try to think about some nice Wrapper non-trivial Demo ideas

Thanks, there is a new bullet-committers mailing list:

A mailing list will be created on SourceForge.net in 6-24 hours
and you are the list administrator.

This list is: bullet-committers at lists.sourceforge.net

Your mailing list info is at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/li ... committers

Would it automatically work if I point the SVN::notify email to bullet-committers at lists.sourceforge.net? Usually, you need to register for a mailinglist, before you can post. I wonder how this would work for an automatic mailer like SVN::notify.

The list will take a few hours to 'activate', so we have to wait.
Thanks for the tip,
Erwin

Hey,
So far the COLLADA exporter for blender looses some information behind the conversion in Blender(vertex colors / smooth normals).
I honestly think a blend file reader is just the perfect solution (for my problems anyway). As Erwin pointed out a blend2dae would be a useful tool as well

Thanks,
Charlie

That's a message for Tuan Kuranes : do you have anything working
for your bullet wrapper? I'll be very interested in any code you have
to integrate bullet in Ogre (for the collision part).

Thank you.

I put together a small .blend parser. It still has some issues with invalid floats. The strange thing is the same file parsed inside blender seems to contain incorrect values as well. So something is wrong somewhere. Its just a testing release anyway and will need lots more work to actually be useful.

This has been tested on 64|32bit Linux, and 32bit windows, as well as files saved in big endian. File versions as far back as 225 have been tested also, but its best to save in 242 or later.

I would like to hear what you all think.

downloaded the example and can't play around with bullet have a linking error that i have been triing to debug and was hoping someone in the community could help out with it.

BulletOgreTest error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: static void __cdecl Ogre::WindowEventUtilities::messagePump(void)" (__imp_?messagePump@WindowEventUtilities@Ogre@@SAXXZ) referenced in function _main

i have the following libraries in my project

ois_d.lib
OgreMain_d.lib
libbulletcollision_d.lib
libbulletmath_d.lib
dinput.lib
libboxbox_d.lib
DebugColladaDemo.lib
libbulletdynamics_d.lib
dxguid.lib
OgreGUIRenderer_d.lib

is it possible that i'm missing something'

I am surprised he didn't announce it here, but here goes:

I'm getting the same problem now (using VS2005 sp1).
Does anyone know the solution?
