[Bf-committers] 1) ESC doesn't abort render 2) Bulletphysicsproblems

[Erwin Coumans]

Hi,

It works fine for me, did you try most recent CVS version?

There is preview builds here:
Win32:
http://www.continuousphysics.com/ftp/pub/test/index.php?dir=blender/&file=blender-2.42-win32-preview18.zip
Linux:
http://www.continuousphysics.com/ftp/pub/test/index.php?dir=blender/&file=blender-linux-2.42-preview18.tgz

Indeed, bug tracker would be better. Or best is to post it to the 
BulletBlender forum:
http://www.continuousphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB2/index.php

There is a section "Blender with Bullet Physics"

Thanks,
Erwin
