This week:<br>* No lectures/exams this week, so spent most of the week working on this :)<br>* Finished and released docs regarding the design of the Bullet integration work to be done. See earlier post on this list for links (Wednesday).<br>
* Begun coding basic implementation of the basics of the system described to better identify any issues that may need rethinking, in preparation for...<br>
<br>Next Week:<br>* I'm aiming to make it possible to set up a basic sim (probably only as complex as a few objects falling on a ground plane) by the end of the week at the latest. To make this manageable, there are many aspects of the integration I might not touch upon yet<br>
* Upgrade Blender's Bullet version to 2.76<br>* Rebranch my branch from trunk (faster than 3-12 hours (closer to 12 I reckon now) of merging that may fail for whatever reason), then commit the things mentioned. I'll only do this when both of these are ready though...<br>
* I have a week of exams starting at the end of next week, so Wednesday +/- a day to have this done<br>* Time allowing, maybe a few teaser screenshots on blog... will see if anything is note worthy<br><br>Scheduling:<br>
I'm now coming back on schedule now. Still, when exams are finally all out of the way, progress can be much faster.<br><br>Issues:<br>* I'm still reviewing whether there are better alternatives to the method of running Bullet sims I mentioned in the doc. It's really non-optimal, and limits potential interactions for other setups (i.e. drivers for material colour changing based on location for example), but getting that working may be near impossible currently...<br>
* Still haven't found any solutions to mingw linking woes mentioned last time. In the meantime, have been contemplating some msvc-based approaches<br><div style="display: inline;">
