Hi,

I need to make a Convex mesh from a list of vertices.
Is there any way to make this ?
Is there any way to make it at least with a TriangleMeshShape ?

Thank you very much

ManualMesh?

thanx for the fast reply, but i don't meen the Ogre stuff, but the physics stuff, so if i have 8 points of a box and want to make a physics object of that.
How can i do that ?

No. It's an NxOgre class ManualMesh.

That sounds very interesting, but i am still using 0.9 becaus i need characters.

So is there any way to make something similiar with 0.9 ??

thank you very much for your support

No, it is not possible.

I'm sure in the past I've done this?
Is this something like what you want...

NxConvexMeshDesc convexDesc;

	convexDesc.numVertices          = metalBody->metalMeshVertexCount;

	convexDesc.pointStrideBytes     = sizeof(NxVec3);

	convexDesc.points               = collisionShapeVerts;

	convexDesc.flags                = NX_CF_COMPUTE_CONVEX;//, NX_SF_POINT_CONTACT_FORCE;



	static NxCookingInterface *gCooking = NxGetCookingLib(NX_PHYSICS_SDK_VERSION);



	//Make sure to initialize the cooking library.

	gCooking->NxInitCooking();



	NxOgre::NxString filename;

	filename = modelOfCar + "collision_model.nxs";	



	UserStream buf(filename.c_str(),false);

	bool status = NxCookConvexMesh(convexDesc, buf);

	if(!status){

		GameManager::getSingletonPtr()->throwErrorMessage(filename + "failed to cook properly");

	}



	fclose(buf.fp);



	convex = new NxOgre::ConvexShape(filename, "material: CarBodyMaterial");

Well yes, you can do that. But ManualMesh is much easier and more "NxOgrey" than that PhysX code there.
