Distance query between compound shapes

Post by jstolarz »

Hello,

I found this topic from 2009 saying there was no optimized distance query for compound shapes:
http://www.bulletphysics.org/Bullet/php ... pes#p12716

I'm curious if one has been implemented yet (seems like no)? If so, could anyone point me to it?

Thanks!

I don't think it has been implemented, but it should be fairly easy to do, using the acceleration structures.

I don't have much time to work on this myself, I am currently focused on Bullet 3.x, exploiting massive parallelism using OpenCL
