Soft Body Physics with 2.70 Bullet Engine
« on: August 15, 2012, 03:52:09 am »
I can't wait for some of these features to be implemented in the tires/frame of the vehicles in Outerra.



The current build is now 2.8 where this is possible in real-time!



What version is OT running now?

2.8, but don't hold your breath. We are not using OpenCL mode there, and it won't be that easy to get it playing nicely with OT which already uses all of the GPU it is given. But softbody works on the CPU as well, so one day it can be enabled. Our current physics raycaster need some optimizing for it though.

Well you always said the CPU was left open for simulation.. This sounds like the perfect time to test that.
