Little question about collision (solved)

[Virginie]

Hello,

I want to use newton only for collision.
I plan to create bodies, collision's primitives and matérials. I plan too to define userBegin(), userProcess() and userEnd() for callback. So when all that will be created ,have to do else or the collision detection is automatic ? Existes it a function to call or it's not use?

I see NewtonUpdate(...), it 's the only function that I have to call?

Excuse me for my english

Try: NewtonCollisionCollide

Thanks for your speedy answer but I want to compute the collisions for all bodies so I think that Newton can do this without I have to do a loop in all bodies with collisionCollide. And precisely in tutos there aren't enought, that's why I think it's automatic if I configure correctly all. no?

NewtonUpdate is just a function to execute the simulation for a given amount of time.
You need to have a loop that looks something like this:

loop(....);
{
glClear(....);
RenderScene();
NewtonUpdate(time);
SwapBuffers();
}

NewtonUpdate advances the simulation just a little bit at a time. Also, check out the demoes in the SDK.

Ok thank you for your answer.

But in other forum, I've got an answer which explain me that in Newton 1.53 we can't use collision without physic moving. So I want to use now the beta version.
