pass events (keyboard, mouse, vr controllers etc) to the plugin, and clear them after the tick callback, so that it doesn't interfere with Python 'getEvents'
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
* Add the calculateJacobian method to the pybullet API.
* Adjust the shared memory interface to handle fixed/floating bases
in the calculateJacobian method.
* Fix a few comments.
Add preTickPluginCallback/postTickPluginCallback
User pointer for b3PluginContext, to store objects (class/struct instances)
Pass ints and floats as optional argument for plugin executePluginCommand
Reduce size of command-logfile (used in PhysicsServer (Logging) and PhysicsServer (Log Replay))
Make Bullet3Common and BulletInverseDynamics part of core Bullet libraries (not optional)
See quadruped.py for an example:
p.startStateLogging(p.STATE_LOGGING_GENERIC_ROBOT, "genericlogdata.bin", maxLogDof = 16, logFlags = p.STATE_LOG_JOINT_TORQUES)
Thanks to JulianYG, in pull request https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/pull/1273
pybullet/C-API, expose linear/angular damping
fix some warnings (param name needs to be same in .h and .cpp)
fix potential startup threading issue (args were deleted in main thread while still possibly use in child thread)
fix for spinning/rolling friction in case of mixing maximal and reduced coordinate btMultiBody+btRigidBody
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
Bullet C-API b3ChangeDynamicsInfoSetSpinningFriction/RollingFriction/Resitution
b3PhysicsParamSetRestitutionVelocityThreshold, / pybullet.setPhysicsEngineParameter restitutionVelocityThreshold:
if the velocity is below this threshhold, the restitution is zero (this prevents energy buildup at near-resting state)
pybullet restitution.py example.
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
pybullet.setPhysicsEngineParameter(enableFileCaching=0)
Allow VR camera tracking only using position tracking, no orientation tracking (use
pybullet.setVRCamera([posX,posY,posZ],trackObjectFlag=0 or pybullet.VR_CAMERA_TRACK_OBJECT_ORIENTATION)
