This removes the need to specify the body id/link index when retrieving a user data entry.
Additionally, user data can now optionally be set to visual shapes as well.
The following public pybullet APIs have changed (backwards incompatible)
addUserData and getUserDataId
Makes linkIndex parameter optional (default value is -1)
Adds optional visualShapeIndex parameter (default value is -1)
getUserData and removeUserData
Removes required parameters bodyUniqueId and linkIndex
getNumUserData
Removes required bodyUniqueId parameter
getUserDataInfo
Removes required linkIndex parameter
Changes returned tuple from (userDataId, key) to (userDataId, key, bodyUniqueId, linkIndex, visualShapeIndex)
use b3RaycastBatchAddRays API to enable MAX_RAY_INTERSECTION_BATCH_SIZE_STREAMING num rays.
Old API (b3RaycastBatchAddRay) sticks to 256 rays, MAX_RAY_INTERSECTION_BATCH_SIZE.
(and issue with TaskScheduler/btTaskScheduler.cpp, add JobQueue::exit, call it first, since it uses the m_threadSupport which was deleted before the destrucor was called.
Use a hashmap to store user timers, to avoid allocating many identical strings.
reduce 'm_cooldownTime' from 1000 microseconds to 100 microseconds (overhead in raycast is too large)
If needed, we can expose this cooldown time.
Replace malloc by btAlignedObjectArray (going through Bullet's memory allocator)
To enable the feature, enable the BULLET2_MULTITHREADING option.
Increases the number of rays that can go in a batch request by storing
them in the shared memory stream instead of the shared memory command.
Adds the API b3RaycastBatchSetNumThreads to specify the number of
threads to use for the raycast batch, also adds the argument numThreads
to the pybullet function rayTestBatch.
Rays are distributed among the threads in a greedy fashion there's a shared
queue of work, once a thread finishes its task, it picks the next
available ray from the task. This works better than pre-distributing the
rays among threads, since there's a large variance in computation time per ray.
Some controversial changes:
- Added a pointer to PhysicsClient to the SharedMemoryCommand struct, this
was necessary to keep the C-API the same for b3RaycastBatchAddRay, while
adding the ray to the shared memory stream instead of the command
struct. I think this may be useful to simplify other APIs as well, that
take both a client handle and a command handle.
- Moved #define SHARED_MEMORY_MAX_STREAM_CHUNK_SIZE to
SharedMemoryPublic. This was necessary for the definition of
MAX_RAY_INTERSECTION_BATCH_SIZE.
Adds unit test for the UserData functons.
Changes the char pointer in btHashString to std::string. There were
problems where the object owning the string memory would deallocate the
string, making the btHashString object invalid.
Use btCylinderShapeZ for URDF cylinder, instead of converting it to a btConvexHullShape.
Implement PyBullet.getCollisionShapeData
Extend PyBullet.getDynamicsInfo / b3GetDynamicsInfo, remove flag (don't rely on API returning a fixed number of elements in a list!)
Extend PyBullet.getJointInfo: add parentIndex
vr_kuka_control.py: control all joints, use analogue button to close gripper
remove some debug warnings/prints
pybullet, avoid crash in changeUserConstraint if not passing a [list]
allow some gym environments (pybullet_pendulum and locomotors) to re-use an existing physics client connection.
example to call b3VisualShapeInformation from C# and marshall b3VisualShapeData (after loadURDF)
See examples\pybullet\unity3d\examples\NewBehaviourScript.cs
add option to recompute forward kinematics, to be consistent with link velocities in pybullet.getLinkState (..., computeForwardKinematics=0/1), thanks to Jeff Bingham for bringing up this inconsistency
fix in indexing for maximal coordinates (unused by default, still experimental, requires many iterations for Minitaur due to extreme mass-ratio, hence use of reduces/generalized coordinates)
modify quadruped.py to test maximal coordinates
wrap angular servo (positional) target within [-PI,PI] in btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint
add 'j' key to show body frames in wireframe/debug mode
example:
kuka = p.loadURDF("kuka_iiwa/model.urdf")
p.getNumJoints(kuka)
pybullet.addUserDebugLine([0,0,0],[0,0,0.1],[0,0,1],trackObjectUniqueId=2,trackLinkIndex=6)
pybullet.addUserDebugText("tip", [0,0,0.1],textColorRGB=[1,0,0],trackObjectUniqueId=2,trackLinkIndex=6)
Also allow to render text using a given orientation (instead of pointing to the camera), example:
pybullet.addUserDebugText("tip", [0,0,0.1],textColorRGB=[1,0,0],textOrientation=[0,0,0,1], trackObjectUniqueId=2,trackLinkIndex=6)
Add drawTexturedTriangleMesh, for drawing 3d text.
Expose readSingleInstanceTransformToCPU, to extract position/orientation from graphics index.
updateTexture: allow to not flip texels around up axis
Add several MSVC optimization flags to cmake.
Bump up VERSION because serialization format changed
Expose btScalar& jointMaxForce, btScalar& jointMaxVelocity to 'getJointInfo2' API, add backwards compatibility to examples\Importers\ImportURDFDemo\URDFImporterInterface::getJointInfo.
pybullet: expose 4 more fields to getJointInfo: jointLowerLimit/jointUpperLimit/jointMaxForce/jointMaxVelocity
fix performance issue in CMD_ACTUAL_STATE_UPDATE_COMPLETED
