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 missing 1.sdf for Bullet/data/kitchens/1.sdf
add support for getting keyboard events (pybullet.getKeyboardEvents and b3RobotSimulatorClientAPI::getKeyboardEvents)
tune gripper grasp example with tefal pan, 800Newton force.
URDF importer: if using single transform 1 child shape, don't use compound shape.
if renderGUI is false, don't intercept mouse clicks
add manyspheres.py example (performance is pretty bad, will look into it)
[pybullet] expose contactBreakingThreshold
[pybullet] updated pybullet_quickstartguide.pdf
Fail clearly (assert, return BT_INFINITY) if link index is out of range for btMultiBody methods localPosToWorld,worldPosToLocal,localDirToWorld,worldDirToLocal.
pybullet getConstraintInfo

Windows shared memory: allow to use custom key.
Improve GUI performance on Windows, submit letters in text as a batch (fewer draw-calls)
quadruped.py: first try to connect to SHARED_MEMORY, if it fails (<0) use GUI
increase Chrome about://tracing json export capacity (press 'p' in Example Browser)
UDP physics server: add --port and --sharedMemoryKey command-line arguments
PhysicsServerExample: add --sharedMemoryKey command-line option (for VR example too)
ExampleBrowser: sleep a few milliseconds if rendering is too fast, use --minUpdateTimeMicroSecs=0 to disable
add UDP network connection for physics client <-> server.
also set spinning friction in rolling friction demo (otherwise objects may keep on spinning forever)
- fixing various race conditions throughout (usage of static vars, etc)
- addition of a few lightweight mutexes (which are compiled out by default)
- slight code rearrangement in discreteDynamicsWorld to facilitate multithreading
- PoolAllocator::allocate() can now be called when pool is full without
crashing (null pointer returned)
- PoolAllocator allocate and freeMemory, are OPTIONALLY threadsafe
(default is un-threadsafe)
- CollisionDispatcher no longer checks if the pool allocator is full
before calling allocate(), instead it just calls allocate() and
checks if the return is null -- this avoids a race condition
- SequentialImpulseConstraintSolver OPTIONALLY uses different logic in
getOrInitSolverBody() to avoid a race condition with kinematic bodies
- addition of 2 classes which together allow simulation islands to be run
in parallel:
- btSimulationIslandManagerMt
- btDiscreteDynamicsWorldMt
- MultiThreadedDemo example in the example browser demonstrating use of
OpenMP, Microsoft PPL, and Intel TBB
- use multithreading for other demos
- benchmark demo: add parallel raycasting
use btAssert to detect 0 determinant in btMatrix3x3 inverse
Remove obsolete comment in PosixSharedMemory, the Windows shared memory implementation was done over a year ago
add rolling/spinning friction to cube, remove it from plane/samurai.urdf
URDF2Bullet: support joint limits for revolute and prismatic, only if defined (if upper < lower, disable limit)
add some profiling markers to improve performance
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.
When running the Example Browser with Basic Example, 'visual leak detector' show no leak.
Many other individual examples still leak, so it is work-in-progress.
Disabled the profiler window (too many leaks)
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
add test for VR HUD/sub-titles
fix issue in previous commit, partial string use %.8s not %8.s
use long long int in b3Clock
fix warning/error in pointer alignment in serialization
Fix pybullet Windows compilation.
(thanks to bkeys/https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/pull/687)
workaround for reversed separating normal in gjk/epa when using very small shapes, detect case and revert normal.
use smaller world size (10 units versus 100) for higher resolution shadow map
use a hard-coded rolling friction of 0.2 for objects in physics server (will make this configurable)
fix loading of command log files, when platform features are different (64bit/32bit)
fix shaders, so that shadowed and non-shadowed are matching
fix registerGraphicsUnitSphereShape API (level of detail), support textured sphere too
add support for textured cube
add start for a Tutorial.cpp
store command-line arguments in bulletDemo.txt
save/load of configuration, save demo name instead of index
add setBackgroundColor as example (background_color_red) and
mouse move/wheel speed config (mouse_wheel_multiplier and mouse_move_multiplier)
(saved after changing the demo)
default btIDebugDraw colors can be changed
b3CommandLineArgs::GetCmdLineArgument returns bool, and b3CommandLineArgs::addArgs added
fix copy/paste
use DIRECTLY_UPDATE_VELOCITY_DURING_SOLVER_ITERATIONS by default for now,
until we find the issue with some failing test cases in btMultiBody
fix a crashing issue in MyMultiBodyCreator.cpp (uninitialized variable)
disable excessive debug printf in URDF2Bullet
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)
add importer support for FIXED_CONSTRAINT_TYPE, to be replaced by btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint
btFixedConstraint now derives from btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint
set a default camera targets for each demo. note that it is only reset when switching to a different demo, so you can restart at your chosen location.
no OpenCL pairbench drawing in OpenGL2 (there is no VBO available etc)
