update to OpenVR sdk 1.03 from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr
add camPosX/Y/Z and camRotZ to adjust relative camera/world transform for VR (so you can align virtual table with real table etc)
tweak quadruped.py to move a bit
add mouse picking to physics server
add UDP network connection for physics client <-> server.
also set spinning friction in rolling friction demo (otherwise objects may keep on spinning forever)
URDF/SDF: add a flag to force concave mesh collisiofor static objects. <collision concave="yes" name="pod_collision">
VR: support teleporting using buttong, allow multiple controllers to be used, fast wireframe rendering,
Turn off warnings about deprecated C routine in btScalar.h/b3Scalar.h
Add a dummy return to stop a warning
Expose defaultContactERP in shared memory api/pybullet.
First start to expose IK in shared memory api/pybullet (not working yet)
Expose inverse dynamics to Bullet shared memory API, through b3CalculateInverseDynamicsCommandInit and
b3GetStatusInverseDynamicsJointForces command/status. See PhysicsClientExeample or pybullet for usage.
Add option for Windows and Linux to set python_lib_dir and python_include_dir for premake and --enable_pybullet option
Expose inverse dynamics to pybullet: [force] = p.calculateInverseDynamics(objectIndex,[q],[qdot],[acc])
Thanks to Jeff Bingham for the suggestion.
Disable a few Visual Studio warnings:
C4244: conversion from 'type1' to 'type2', possible loss of data
C4267: conversion from 'size_t' to 'type', possible loss of data
Considering the GCC/Clang counterpart '-Wconversion'
(https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/NewWconversion) is not covered by '-Wall', it
seems to make more sense to disable these two warnings in Visual Studio,
rather than fixing these warnings with hundreds of static_cast<> in the
source code.
it works without OpenGL dependency now, so it runs in the cloud :-)
Add scaling support for TinyRenderer, remove some un-used normal mapping in TinyRenderer shader, expose light_dir_world,
remove accidental hard-coded path in tga write_tga_file,
Fix InverseDynamicsExampleCreateFunc, enum has to start at 0
(for now, start the example browser in 'physics server',
then compile using premake --python option,
then run python in the bin folder (so it finds pybullet.so)
and run the test.py script in examples/pybullet folder.
The robotics shared memory C API is very suitable for this.
remove targetdir from all libraries in premake, so it is much easier to create a separate folder for all binary+lib
transmit the serialized btMultiBody data back from server to client, after the server loads a URDF file. This includes base+link+joint names
tweak the serialization routines, so it is easier to skip pointers and to serialize directly to a shared memory buffer
also tweak the serialization code to allow to process data without 'DNA' schema data (assuming file-DNA = memory DNA)
