Dagon, Morph animation and OgreNewt

hello there,

my question is, is there a way to adjust the "collision object" dynamically as the mesh changes - during morph animation or normal skeletal animation ?

ps: if the question has been answered before, it's my fault , I didn't search

Since no one else responded, I'd wager a bet that you would just destroy the current one and create a new one. Obviously don't do that often.

finally someone responded ! I felt like my question was too stupid to answer


anyhow, when it's realtime animation, I don't think that it's practical to destroy my collision object and create a new one with every frame of animation, is there a way to "update" the current collision object?

you can apply simple scaling/skewing to a collision shape through the "ConvexModifierCollision" class, which you can cast any convex-shaped collision object to.

note that scaling the object in realtime doesn't result in realistic physics behavior... so if you have a small sphere sitting on the ground, and yuo scale it up to 2x size quickly, half of it will be stuck in the ground.

thx walaber for the reply, well, in my case the animation I want to apply to the collision shape is vertex animation not scaling or skewing, isn't there a way to apply this vertex animation to the collision shape? and if not, are you planning on adding this functionality ?

off topic : I see japanese text in ur blog, yet ur location is california, usa, hey, where are you from?
