Weird Body behavior and crash

Postby Lax » Sat Mar 09, 2019 7:41 am

Hi,

I updated to the newest version of newton (08.03.2019).
Now when I start my application, all dynamic bodies are flipping upside down and vice versa or are vanished and visible again and after app. 5 seconds the application does crash.

The demosSandbox do not start, I see only a black console window.

I compiled everything with vc141, maybe the plattform toolset is to new?

Has anyone an idea, what is happening?

Best Regards
Lax

I do not know I just try with VS 2017 and the sandbox demos seem right.
I do not have hand made visual studio solution I use CMake.

It seems I made a major bug in that day or two,
I am looking at the problem now, stand by please.

Hi Julio,

I downloaded the newest version, but still, the bodies are flickering and after that the application does hang.

Tomorrow, I will investigate myself what is going on.

you say the sandbox demo also crash, I am no sure what could this be.
I do not see that problem in several systems.
The sandbox should run out of the box.

Hi,

your demos are working, I did not see them, because they were by accident on a different monitor :oops:

I build my NOWA-Engine again from the scratch with your newton fixes, but I get still the weird behavior. See the video in the link:

http://www.lukas-kalinowski.com/Homepage/wp-content/uploads/JumpNRunError.mp4

What could that be?
It seems that something has significantely changed in newton?

Best Regards

yes there has been changes, but I think they are for the better.
how are you making the pieces 2d?
do you have a repro test that link to a dll that I can check.
also how long ago was the last working version?

The last working version was from 14.02.2019

It only seems, that everything is 2D, in fact, I just constrain the z-axis. I have also a simple scene with a primitive and when I start my scene, the primitive is flipped.

Unfortunately it is not easy to get a test from the NOWA-Engine, as Ogre3D etc. must be build from the scratch...

I made a new simple video, it seems, that there are several things wrong, the collision detection is upside down??

See:
http://www.lukas-kalinowski.com/Homepage/wp-content/uploads/CollisionOffset.mp4
The case is flipped upside down, but its not visible directly...

Or here, the character is flipped upside down when newton is updated:
http://www.lukas-kalinowski.com/Homepage/wp-content/uploads/Flip.mp4

Is there something wrong with the newton quaternions?

Are you using funny matrixes? like scaled ones? newton doesn't support scale on object matrixes.

Something that can maybe cause similar problems is about Vector4 and Vector3.
Now newton use Vector3 for many things.
Maybe you have some commands that use Vector4 and now in your project this Vector4 losing the w component value.
You search a nice physics solution, if you can read this message you're at the good place :wink:

bingo!!
I believe you Are using the old quaternion conversion routines.
We change how the quay component are save to make it more conformant yo how game engines do it.
My guess is that ogre still has the old method from wallabel did it.

Find the matrix to what routine and change the order, it should now match the ogre encoding.

Hi all,

ok thanks for pointing it out!
Indeed I have walabers conversion, that is used for position orientation of bodies etc. This is the code now:
Code: Select all
void QuatPosToMatrix(const Ogre::Quaternion& _quat, const Ogre::Vector3 &pos, dFloat* matrix)
      {
         // this takes a Quaternion and a Vector3 and creates a dFloat array
         // which is more meaningful to Newton.

         using namespace Ogre;
         Matrix3 rot;
         Vector3 xcol, ycol, zcol;

         Ogre::Quaternion quat(_quat);
         quat.normalise();
         quat.ToRotationMatrix(rot);   // creates a 3x3 rotation matrix from the Quaternion.

         xcol = rot.GetColumn(0);
         ycol = rot.GetColumn(1);
         zcol = rot.GetColumn(2);

         // now fill the final matrix with the appropriate data:
         matrix[0] = xcol.x;
         matrix[1] = xcol.y;
         matrix[2] = xcol.z;
         matrix[3] = 0.0f;

         matrix[4] = ycol.x;
         matrix[5] = ycol.y;
         matrix[6] = ycol.z;
         matrix[7] = 0.0f;

         matrix[8] = zcol.x;
         matrix[9] = zcol.y;
         matrix[10] = zcol.z;
         matrix[11] = 0.0f;

         matrix[12] = pos.x;
         matrix[13] = pos.y;
         matrix[14] = pos.z;
         matrix[15] = 1.0;
      }

So how must that be changed?

Thanks in advance
Lax
