[Bf-committers] Bullet physics plans/status/update

[erwin at erwincoumans.com]

Hi, 

I've been busy refactoring and improving Bullet for version 2, based on 
feedback from developers. This required a lot of changes, all files have a 
bt-prefix, files moved to a different folder and so on. 

I plan to add Bullet 2 in blender/extern/bullet2, next to the current 
Bullet. This will be just the core sources, without demos, and other 
unnecessary files. Then I plan on providing a C-API, and integrate this in 
Blender. Once all platforms compile/link against the new version 2, we can 
remove the older obsolete version (blender/extern/bullet). 

 From that point, we can use Bullet outside of the game engine using the 
C-API, and work on adding UI for constraints, keyframe baking etc. 

Thanks,
Erwin
