Soft Shapes

Hey

Why is there no source for the softShape class in RC3?

The class definition is there but no source. All other shapes are there though.

It wasn't implemented then. It is half-implemented in the 0.6 SVN, but I've been unable to get the Ogre Mesh working properly. I was hoping someone might pick it up for me.

when I remove the #if 0 stuff from the nxOgre_shape_soft files, I get the error "error C2039: 'SHAPE_SOFT' : is not a member of 'nxOgre::shape'"

I've searched all through the code but can't discern where these shape definitions reside.

They don't exist anymore, there was a massive gutting out of the shape system, which involved rewriting nearly all of the shape code.

It seems I didn't rewrite the soft body code for it, so it turns out there isn't a soft shape for the 0.6 SVN after all.

Mind if I give it a shot?

i'll help with it soft bodies are cool

Yes please. The code is there, it is just not ported over to the new shape system.

It's a "dynamic" shape, which allows "simulate" and "render" functions on the shape. The wheelShape shows you how to do this.

K, thanks.

Am I missing something here? I've been reading different posts about cloth etc, but soft shapes aren't implemented. Is cloth not considered a soft shape?

Not anymore.

In PhysX 2.6.0, cloth and soft shapes used the same class but now they are seperate.
