Entity simulation quality

Post by lazy »

Hi again!

I'm making a physics object particle system class.
Just wondering, is it possible to make "light weight" entities that aren't simulated as accuratly?

In the below thread you can find a VertexEntity that has the minimum functionality required to implement general purpose collision detection. This will be a bit faster than other entity types, since more complex objects require more complex extreme point methods. Also, by preventing orientation changes (infinite inertia), the solver may be able to figure things out a bit faster.

You can also change the collision rules of an entity so that it doesn't collide with certain things, which may speed things up. Check the Collision Rules documentation on the website for more information (http://www.bepu-games.com/BEPUphysics/documentation.htm).
