BEPUphysics

Hi again. How are you? i think i've got a bug or rounding issue on terrain. heres the gist of my code. public static RayResult terrainray(Ray r, RayCastableContainerWithoutMargins terrain) { RayResult result = RayResult.Zero; terrain.rayCast(r.Position, r.Direction, 10000, out result.hitEntity, out ...

This is how it looks now by the way. I still can't calculate the bone lengths though.

This is good fun actually.. but.. I cranked up the terrain margin to 1.0f but it just goes weird. I imagine some feature where the terrain can be considered solid underneath: infinately or to a fixed height Y value, while the top remains unchanged. Also, for getting better small objects interacting ...

Thanks for helping me with this

Insane as in good.
Forget the bone length it's doing my head in trying to work it out. I'll do boxes in blender. You know what.. is there a thickness setting on a triangle mesh and terrain please?

I'm now thinking that getting the bone lengths is Advanced so I give up and decide to use objects defined in blender instead. I guess i'm thinking of how constraints in blender relate to rags. They can't be imported easily but it would be nice to define them in Blender to animate the model. Are you ...

Thanks for the info. It took a while but I got it to work. lesson learned: scale matrices cause work.
As you see I am still unable to calculate the bone lengths. I'll keep trying. The framerate of this stuff is insane by the way.

Also, if I create a new cylinder, is there a way to
1>position it with a rotating transating world matrix,
2>get the end points?

Hi. I'm implementing rag doll physics in XNA using BallSocketJoint class, and Skinned Model Sample from Microsoft. I created Cylinders from my Bones and hey presto. I also used collision filter to allow the cylinders to occupy the same space. Does anyone know how to use constraints in BEPU to make j...

that kicks ass by the way thanks. am i able now to free up the draw thread from doing physics by commenting the line here? //g.space.threadManager.add(delegate(object information) { Thread.CurrentThread.SetProcessorAffinity(new int[] { 1 }); }, null); space.threadManager.add(delegate(object informat...

It's incredible how long it takes to set effect parameters. I can easily get it down to 4fps still - if i jostle 30 random shapes with my man - but its mostly 60fps :D One last thing though, how do i check if multithread is enabled please? I just randomly did this: g.broadphase = new BEPUphysics.Bro...

Hi Norbo. Thanks for replying again. You know. it might not actually be slow. I mean it is dropping to 2fps (15 boxes, 5 cylinders, 1 terrain, 4 simpleton bad guys) but the numbers show 4/1 CPU is used by my draw relative to physics (at 30fps) and when i start mixing it up with the gun it looks more...

I'm still finding it hard to get smooth play on the XBOX. Any tips?

i checked it i didn't add my entity to space like a fool. please delete this.

forget that. somthing weirds going on.
