Cheers! They are I'm belligerent I'm afraid, hence the conflict...

Astralis uses BEPU, and enjoys doing so!

Here is an Astralis video featuring the swimming, and showing BEPU in action

In the grand scheme of things, the additional cost of the conversion will be insignificant even if does technically end up costing more. For every single one of those byte->float conversions, there are many thousands of other operations that need to be performed for a single execution of one pair's...

Sounds like a plan :) using System; using BEPUphysics.CollisionTests.Manifolds; using Microsoft.Xna.Framework; using BEPUphysics.MathExtensions; using BEPUphysics.DataStructures; using BEPUphysics.CollisionShapes.ConvexShapes; namespace BEPUphysics.CollisionShapes { ///<summary> /// The local space ...

Today I did something that I've been meaning to try out for a while - modified TerrainShape to be byte based. Didn't take long, and works as expected, but at 1/4 of the memory cost, as expected. For Astralis ( http://www.facebook.com/Astralis1 ) this is significant as there are kilometres of terrain...

Lots of good looking games here, thanks for sharing

The swimming is working well and feels good. I'll hold off posting a video until our animation matches it.

I suspect you'll find a lot of followers on Twitter once you do. New version announcements are exciting

Modifying the character body's LinearDamping property would also slow the character's movement on land, though, so it would have to be reset upon exiting the water. Damping could also be scaled dynamically depending on the submerged volume. The damping impulses can be applied externally alongside t...

ps. Those rumors are rather interesting :O Thanks for sharing this. Do you use Twitter?

A truly Epic reply - :) Floating - I'm only going to need it for a character, so I'm leaning towards your 2nd suggestion of computing the exact amount of volume beneath the water using box height. I would have gone with a cylinder, but since the cylinder I use is deliberately larger then the charact...

Greetings :) I've had a look but not seen anything posted related to floating in water/swimming. I would like to cause a character to smoothly float in water, so that a portion of them generally visible (just like real swimming, I don't expect it to be visible 100% of the time, but just the majority...

This is all working perfectly now, with the latest development version, and I have marked all my posts as "FIXED" - so that anyone looking in this area will be aware that it is all resolved. Thanks for resolving this so quickly, I'd expected any potential changes to take much longer, but i...

Hi, thanks for the update it completely fixed issue #1 :) Regarding the RayCasts issue I have looked into it deeply, and can code a full repro demo if needed. However the new information that I've gained may be enough: * When I'm creating the Terrain I'm using a TerrainShape: var terrainShape = new ...
