[Bf-committers] 1) ESC doesn't abort render 2) Bullet physics problems

[Alexander Ewering]

Hi,

1) ESC

is this just me, or did really noone bother to make ESC work for aborting a
render?

When I press ESC during rendering, nothing happens - I have to hard-kill
Blender.

2) Bullet

I can't get very useful results when using Bullet, though the demo files
(esp. the "lots of bricks on a heap" file) seem to work fine.

Example: I add a plane, extrude it to give it depth, calc normals outside.
Then, I add a cube, squeeze it to be a brick, scale it down to about 0.2
blender units (I assume 1 BU is still = 1 metre in Bullet?), and then set it
to Actor, Rigid Body, Bounds -> Box. Depending on the "Form Factor" setting
and the height of the brick above the floor, any of the following can
happen:

1) The brick falls right through the floor

2) The brick rotates nervously on the floor for a fraction of a second
    and THEN falls through the floor

3) The brick stops 10 cm *above* the floor, jitters around like a bar of
    soap and eventually stops abruptly.

What am I missing?
