Re: Convert static mesh to dynamic mesh at an impact

Thank you for your fast and detailed answer. Now I've got even more reasons to look forward to version 2 of your engine.

Convert static mesh to dynamic mesh at an impact

Hi, long time no see. :) I've got a question regarding the conversion of static meshes to meshes with rigidbodies. Imagine a small town where one house has a fence. For performance reasons the whole town (including the fence) is baked into one static mesh. Is it possible or even feasible (in your en...

Re: Progress on 2.0

Thank you. :) The time in the URL seems wrong, though. The video is just 1 hour and 24 minutes long. Did you mean 1:11:17?

Re: Progress on 2.0

Have you (or anyone else) seen indications that the unity toolchain can emit SIMD instructions, apart from the mono runtime's own jit intrinsics? I don't know anything about that, sorry. Regarding unity, this is pretty promising: https://twitter.com/xoofx/status/874258186597003264 Well, that's good...

Re: Progress on 2.0

That sounds really interesting! I would love it so much to replace Unity's PhysX with your engine. Keep up the good work! :)

BTW: Are you working fulltime on your project? May I ask how you do this? Are you rich? ;)

Progress on 2.0

Hey Norbo,

are there any updates regarding version 2.0 of your engine? I'm really looking forward to your next iteration so I just have to ask. :)

Greetings

Re: BEPU 2.0 - int or short for collision meshes?

Sounds great! :)

Side note: I just read that Unity is planning to support 32 bit index buffers in the future as well.

BEPU 2.0 - int or short for collision meshes?

Hello, I'm currently refactoring the code of my current Unity 3D project and added a mechanism to split up large meshes (more than 64k vertices) into smaller pieces due to Unity using unsigned shorts for their vertex indices. As far as I can see BEPU 1.0 is using ints for its collision meshes, so I ...

Extending RayHit by TriangleIndex and BarycentricCoordinate

Long time no see! :) Can I somehow motivate you to extend the RayHit struct by an index and the Barycentric Coordinate of the triangle a corresponding ray hit? :) If not, do you plan something like this for version 2.0 of your engine? I ask this because I am trying to use QueryAccelerator and FindRa...

Re: Teleporting objects to avoid floating point imprecisions

InstancedMesh? Aweseome! I'm curious when I will stumble upon a real limitation of your engine. So far I'm really impressed even by the design of BEPU Physics. May I ask how old you are? Did you develop other physics engines before? Note: If you tell me that you're just 20 years old, I might get dep...

Re: Teleporting objects to avoid floating point imprecisions

Ah, good to know. For entities it was quite easy to add an additional method Teleport() . What about a StaticMesh instance? Would I have to set its WorldTransform property? That in turn would trigger recalculations of the BoundingBoxes for each node in its MeshBoundingBoxTree and I guess that I can'...

[SOLVED] Teleporting to avoid floating point imprecisions

If I have to teleport all dynamic and static objects in BEPU Physics (to avoid floating point imprecisions), will I have to be aware of certain problems? For example does teleporting create infinite forces? Will the inner state of BEPU Physics change, e.g. will previous collisions be invalid?

Re: Port to Unity3D - Some Issues and Questions

Yup! Awesome! I'm really looking forward to version 2.0 and I definitely will use your engine instead of PhysX, now. :) I just have to investigate those uv and normal lookup suggestions - like bypassing the Space.RayCast and so on - a bit more. [...] but I sympathize with the developers. Making a s...
