e9ca43521f BGE Physics
Add support back for reinstancePhysics mesh, a frequently requested feature in the BGE forums.
from what I can tell Sumo supported this but bullet never did.
Currently only accessible via python at the moment.

- rigid body, dynamic, static types work.
- instanced physics meshes are modified too.
- compound shapes are not supported.

Physics mesh can be re-instanced from...
* shape keys & armature deformations
* subsurf (any other modifiers too)
* RAS_TexVert's (can be modified from python)

Moved the reinstancePhysicsMesh functions from RAS_MeshObject into KX_GameObject since the physics data is stored here.

5bd4b25dd1 BGE bug #18762 fixed: softbody. An incompatibility between the soft body deformer and other types of deformer was causing the soft body to disappear in the game. This was the case when the soft body had an armature or simply vertex groups. 2009-05-19 06:48:36 +00:00

d95a109990 BGE modifier: generate correct physic shape, share static derived mesh, share display list.
This commit completes the support for modifiers in the BGE.
- The physic shape is generated according to the derived mesh. 
  This is true for all types of shapes and all types of 
  objects except soft body.
- Optimization for static derived mesh (mesh with modifiers
  but no armature and no shape keys). Replicas will share
  the derived mesh and the display list: less memory and
  faster rendering. With this optimization, the static 
  derived mesh will render as fast as if the modifiers were
  applied.

Known Limits:
- Sharing of mesh and display list is only possible between
  in-game replicas or dupligroup. If you want to instantiate
  multiple objects with modifiers, use dupligroup to ensure
  best memory and GPU utilization.
- rayCast() will interact with the derived mesh as follow:
  Hit position and hit normal are the real values according
  to the derived mesh but the KX_PolyProxy object refers to
  the original mesh. You should use it only to retrieve the
  material.
- Dynamic derived mesh have very poor performance:
  They use direct openGL calls for rendering (no support
  for display list and vertex array) and they dont't share
  the derived mesh memory. Always apply modifiers on dynamic
  mesh for best performance.
- Time dependent modifiers are not supported.
- Modifiers are not supported for Bullet soft body.

5a0de728b0 BGE performance: allow to create display list on meshes with modifiers but without armature and shape keys. These modified meshes are static and can be put safely in a display list. As the rendering of modifiers is done in direct openGL call, it results is a bit performance boost. 2009-05-12 19:48:18 +00:00

d11a5bbef2 BGE: Support mesh modifiers in the game engine.
Realtime modifiers applied on mesh objects will be supported in 
the game engine with the following limitations:

- Only real time modifiers are supported (basically all of them!)
- Virtual modifiers resulting from parenting are not supported: 
  armature, curve, lattice. You can still use these modifiers 
  (armature is really not recommended) but in non parent mode. 
  The BGE has it's own parenting capability for armature.
- Modifiers are computed on the host (using blender modifier
  stack).
- Modifiers are statically evaluated: any possible time dependency
  in the modifiers is not supported (don't know enough about
  modifiers to be more specific).
- Modifiers are reevaluated if the underlying mesh is deformed
  due to shape action or armature action. Beware that this is 
  very CPU intensive; modifiers should really be used for static
  objects only.
- Physics is still based on the original mesh: if you have a 
  mirror modifier, the physic shape will be limited to one half
  of the resulting object. Therefore, the modifiers should 
  preferably be used on graphic objects.
- Scripts have no access to the modified mesh. 
- Modifiers that are based on objects interaction (boolean,..)
  will not be dependent on the objects position in the GE.
  What you see in the 3D view is what you get in the GE regardless
  on the object position, velocity, etc.

Besides that, the feature is compatible with all the BGE features
that affect meshes: armature action, shape action, relace mesh, 
VideoTexture, add object, dupligroup.

Known problems:
- This feature is a bit hacky: the BGE uses the derived mesh draw 
  functions to display the object. This drawing method is a
  bit slow and is not 100% compatible with the BGE. There may
  be some problems in multi-texture mode: the multi-texture
  coordinates are not sent to the GPU. 
  Texface and GLSL on the other hand should be fully supported.
- Culling is still based on the extend of the original mesh. 
  If you have a modifer that extends the size of the mesh, 
  the object may disappear while still in the view frustrum.
- Derived mesh is not shared between replicas.
  The derived mesh is allocated and computed for each object
  with modifiers, regardless if they are static replicas.
- Display list are not created on objects with modifiers.
  
I should be able to fix the above problems before release.
However, the feature is already useful for game development.
Once you are ready to release the game, you can apply the modifiers
to get back display list support and mesh sharing capability.

MSVC, scons, Cmake, makefile updated.

Enjoy

a1bef84ea8 Allow Bullet soft bodies to be created using a AddObject actuator. Added a fake world coordinate system to game soft bodies, although the vertices are already in world space.
Added Bullet/Gimpact concave collision detection to Blender. If your build system isn't updated yet, please add extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/Gimpact/*
This allows moving/dynamic concave triangle meshes (decomposing meshes into compound convex shapes, and using 'compound' shapes is still preferred)

6732718ef1 don't apply vertex transformation for deformable game soft bodies.
set a fake world transform for game soft bodies, based on center of the AABB, so visiblity and some game logic works. note: this world transform is not smooth.

2bece8dcb5 BGE Patch: Add Shape Action support and update MSCV_7 project file for glew.
Shape Action are now supported in the BGE. A new type of actuator "Shape Action" is available on mesh objects. It can be combined with Action actuator on parent armature. Only relative keys are supported. All the usual action options are available: type, blending, priority, Python API. Only actions with shape channels should be specified of course, otherwise the actuator has no effect. Shape action will still work after a mesh replacement provided that the new mesh has compatible shape keys.

5d0a207ecb Patch from GSR that a) fixes a whole bunch of GPL/BL license
blocks that were previously missed; and b) greatly increase my
ohloh stats!

f1c4f705a1 Removed the config.h thing from the .h's in the source dir.
So we should be all set now :)

b9a19f1ea7 Did all of the .h's in source
(adding)
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif

also the Makefile.in's were from previous patch adding
the system depend stuff to configure.ac
