BEPUphysics

Well problem is, with no MaximumForce set, the effect is quite good with the default spring settings. I don't suppose it's possible to remove the spring 'effect' entirely? But seeing as I know both the orientation AND position, I'm also thinking about adding a SingleEntityLinearMotor in servo to imp...

Hello Norbo! I'm (still) working hard on my torque based character animation using BEPU and it's coming along very nicely! I'm using angular motors to set the orientation of my rag-doll. The only problem right now is finding a good balance for my (servo) angular motors, more specifically: - MaximumF...

Hello Norbo! I'm trying to change the orientation of an entity to match a given quaternion. Unfortunately I'm unable to directly set the orientation so I need forces to do this. None of my attempts were really satisfying. Some were doing the job but too slow, and cranking up the force ruined the sta...

All right cheers Norbo for the fast reply.
I will use your method until the new version arrives.

Keep up the awesome work

Hi Norbo / everyone! In my project I would like to do some ray casting against entities. The problem is I don't want to check every entity in the space. (Only terrain/debris/etc. ) What is the best practice to handle this? Ideally I'd love to add entities to a group and add that group to the space o...

Hiya Norbo, I think my problem had something to do with the internal angular velocity, it seems to be working pretty decently now. The character is still a bit wobbly but I guess part of that is the stances I'm ordering it to do are simply hard to balance in :p Anyway thank you very much for your he...

Hi Norbo, Thank you for the swift reply! When I was reading your comment I realised that I was not really focussing how I applied the torque. Directly setting AngularVelocity seems to be the key rather than keep adding impulses. The rag doll now pretty smoothly goes into the required position. The o...

Hello, I've been working on implementing a paper on dynamic data-driven character control. ( http://graphics.cs.williams.edu/papers/DynamoVGS06/ ) The basic idea is to create rag-dolls and put them in certain positions by applying world space torques, which are computed by comparing the rag-doll's b...

Thanks for the suggestions Norbo.

I've tried them out and it seems my "idea" just a bit too unstable to be useful for a game.
I will have to work something else out

Thanks again!

I don't think you need to re-create your boxes you can simply modify the height, width and length at runtime. If you really want to use a Matrix object to do it, something like this should work fine: private void ScaleEntity(Box e, Matrix m) { e.Width *= m.M11; e.Height *= m.M22; e.Length *= m.M33; ...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. Check out this mock-up: http://www.float4x4.net/moz/joints.png I currently have the green part of the drawing done. It is basically a platform with spider like legs that have motors to expand or shrink. What I am trying to achieve ...
