Collision ApproximationsMinkowski Sum – sweep origin of X across Y
Bounding Volumes AABB OBB
Performance Possible collisionbetween R and B since overlap in all axis (2 in this case) Subdivide such that on averageone object in each cell.
Terrain Collision • Heightmap information • Look up terrain height • 3 LERPs – Linear Interpretation between points • X • Z • Between x and z http://creators.xna.com/en-US/sample/collision3dheightmap
Resolving Collision • Gross collision & subdivide if needed • Three phases • Prologue – ignore or trigger other events • Collision – point of impact, new velocities • Epilogue – destroy object, effects, damage
Particle Physics Basics • Use consistent units (SI) • Particles • Position (p) in 3-space, vector3 (x,y,z) = p(t) • Velocity (v) = change in position over time, V(t) • Acceleration (a) = change in velocity over time, a(t) • Force (f) = results in change in acceleration over time, F(t) = ma(t) • Calculus • Derivatives and integrals go from one to another
Physics Engines • Commercial • Game Dynamics SDK (Havok) • Renderware Physcis • NovodeX SDK • Free/Shareware • Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) • Tokamak Game Physics SDK • Newton Game Dynamics SDK
