When rendered onto a deforming mesh, the usual projective approaches can morph around a little bit, since the decal isn't in the deforming texture space. Parenting the projection to all of the relevant animation bones should mostly take care of it. By "parenting" you mean transform decal ...

Norbo, I have a physics object and valid raycastresult - how to "map" hit location from physics object to renderable model (to draw a decal there, for example)? I assume that there are many ways to do so, but what you would recomend? I red that Crytec has physics proxies slightly larger th...

Norbo, your reply should be pinned somewhere, IMHO it perfectly walks engine users through various problems related to physics objects positioning and related content pipeline considerations.

Thanks, it works, problem solved, again

Could you please test such a scenario - convexhull and vertices from previous post, Position: {-2,100759, 0, 0} - box, width: 3.61321259, length: 4.40804768, Position: {0,7381939, 0, 0} Both with zero mass. This should result in entities "A" and "B" from original scene - how does...

Code is dead simple, here is CH creation: if (indxc > 0) { verts = new List<Vector3>(indxc); for (int n = 0; n < verts.Capacity; n++) { // positions verts.Add(new Vector3(br.ReadSingle(), br.ReadSingle(), br.ReadSingle())); // normals //br.ReadSingle(); //br.ReadSingle(); //br.ReadSingle(); } Convex...

Hi Norbo, I got one of your favorite :) This is a modified scene from Bepu demos. It has three entities: bepu_Wtf2.jpg As you can see there is a problem with "A" entity - there's a slight gap between "A" and "B" (blue arrow) - they're supposed to be placed next to each ...

Great. I'm building content exporter from DCC tool to support in-game engine creation of the bepu entities. DCC physics engine by default uses convex shape, even if it could be box, cylinder or any other primitive type. I understand that convexhull entity in general is more expensive to simulate, bu...

When you recommend to check this: after Space.Update completed, so that next "physics" frame will react to the change? What will happen to entities after joint would brake - will them retain any momentum they had on the time of the break?

OK, can I breake joints? On max force or torque?

Great.

How to get on following scenario:

a) detect a collision between projectile and arbitrary entity - collision rules?
b) custom game logic would allow projectile to penetrate through entity, changing it's direction, and on the next collision do again a) and so on

?

Norbo, general question - if I want to get entity rotation around specific axis, just like in pic below: I want to get roll angle (rotation around yellow origin) where to look for those? I suppose I could also get those from joints properties, like ConnectionB etc., but what property?

Servos will, however, take the shortest path possible to reach the goal. If you want to spin 360 degrees, the current rotation + 360 degrees is just the current rotation, so the servo won't make anything move. If you want to make it spin all the way around you'll need to specify intermediate goals....

OK, refering to motor rigidity you mean motor's spring settings? Servo goal accepts only PI value, so I need some wraping to get 360 degree rotation? I'm just thinking that for the purpose of the gameplay I don't need physics driven motion of the turret or gun (there are there just for collisions) -...

Thanks - this is very informative. Back to the gun and turret, RevoluteJoin works as you suggested. What would be the best option for motor mode, considering that I want it rotate as user presses the botton and then button is released gun should remain at current position? I red several post here re...
