Use glBufferSubData instead of glMapBuffer/glUnmapBuffer, much faster soft body vertex sync.
Don't use a separate btSoftBodyWorldInfo, use the existing one in btSoftMultiBodyDynamicsWorld.
option to disable tinyrenderer, use p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_TINY_RENDERER,0)
also make sure to use p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_RENDERING,0) before loadURDF, and enable rendering afterwards using p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_RENDERING,1)
reorder 2 loops, making the flip texels twice as fast (cache coherency),
single memcpy of entire texture in tinyrenderer, instead of per-pixel copy (memory layout is the same)
add lots of B3_PROFILE timings, to see where time is going
pybullet.changeVisualShape(obUid,linkIndex,specularColor=[R,G,B]) and Bullet C-API b3UpdateVisualShapeSpecularColor
Bug fixes in b3ResourcePath::findResourcePath resolution.
add stadium.sdf and roboschool/models_outdoor/stadium assets https://github.com/openai/roboschool/tree/master/roboschool/models_outdoor/stadium
minor fixes to obj2sdf
Remove roof from kitchens/1.sdf, otherwise shadows and shinyness won't work (light is outside the room, bouncing against roof-top)
Make kuka_iiwa/model.urdf more smooth, use .obj for per-vertex normals (using Blender, import STL, export OBJ, enable triangles, normals and Z-UP, Y forward)
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
Expose COV_ENABLE_VR_RENDER_CONTROLLERS, to enable/disable rendering of controllers (and some frames) in VR
Expose COV_ENABLE_RENDERING to enable/disable rendering.
Fix some multi-threading issues (potential crashes), related to debug drawing/rendering in one thread, while changing the dynamics world/removing/resetSimulation in a different thread.
for GLInstancingRenderer (OpenGL3+) and SimpleOpenGL2Renderer (OpenGL2)
Refactored the add/remove object pool in Bullet3Common/b3ResizablePool.h
Added CommonRigidBodyBase::deleteRigidBody, also removing its graphics instance.
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)
Compile using premake+visual studio, and compile App_SharedMemoryPhysics_VR
Compile pybullet using cmake using cmake -DBUILD_PYBULLET=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
Create a symbolic link from c:\python\dlls\pybullet.pyd to C:\develop\bullet3\cmp\lib\Release\pybullet.dll
App_SharedMemoryPhysics_VR
Run Python. Here are some Python lines to get going:
import pybullet as p
p.connect(p.SHARED_MEMORY)
p.loadURDF("cube.urdf")
p.setGravity(0,0,-10)
p.setRealTimeSimulation(1)
Allow real-time simulation in physics server, add pybullet command setRealTimeSimulation to control it
Mesh decimation (reduce number of triangles/vertices) using a Blender modifier for Kuka IIWA and Husky
Disabled the 'glFlush' commands in GLInstancingRenderer.
Add VR controller methods to examples\CommonInterfaces\CommonExampleInterface.h
Use the ANSI version in Windows file/string operations instead of unicode, hope this doesn't break builds.
Fix uninitialized variable jointDamping/jointFriction in SDF importer
Add SDF <pose> parsing in visual, inertial, collision elements.
Slight improvement in TinyRender loading performance of largish meshes (30k vertices)
Reduce #define MAX_SDF_BODIES to 500, due to some issue in client code, todo: figure out what the issue is.
b3RobotSimAPI support SDF file loading
Tiny improvement in OpenGL hardware renderer lighting, to distinguish faces without textures
