soft contact

[blackbird_dream]

Hi all.
I'd like to model soft contacts (like cat pads).
What would be the easiest way ? Is there a parameter within the colliders we can tune to allow larger penetrations, then softer shocks ?
Thks beforehand.

you are now find the same problem I found when I try to make a walking biped

I added that functionality, but soon after I lost the motivations.
the code is there in 3.14 maybe you can have better luck that me.

this is one of the reason I am making 4.0, the interface of 3.14 is too limiting.

there are some partially working demo in 3.14 but is all experimental, I would have to search the code to find it.

perfect. I'll test it. Thks.
Yes I am now focusing on the walking dummy in forward dynamics.
I'll keep you informed when we do some progress.
