hi
what would be the best way to implement this kind of befaviour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWPIcDgbyZI using bepu? i mean curved movement of a ball when it was hit by fast moving block
curved ball movement
Re: curved ball movement
If you mean the ball curving in midair, then what you're looking for is the Magnus effect.
Basically, each frame, you could do something like this:
If you find that an impact does not generate sufficient angular velocity to trigger the effect to your satisfaction, you can impart a greater angular impulse using a collision event or something along those lines. You could also fake the effect by getting the 'angular velocity' value from somewhere other than the ball's true angular velocity.

Code: Select all
ball.LinearMomentum += (dt * curvingCoefficient) * Vector3.Cross(ball.AngularVelocity, ball.LinearVelocity);If you find that an impact does not generate sufficient angular velocity to trigger the effect to your satisfaction, you can impart a greater angular impulse using a collision event or something along those lines.
