Jump without bouncing in physics engine

I am using Ogre3D as my rendering API, and OgreBullet as my physics engine. I have an test entity that when the y part of the velocity is 0 and spacebar is pressed, the velocity changes to, lets say: ...

Mixing kinematics and dynamics in ODE

I am trying to do some animations on characters with a variety of body plans. I am trying to make a system that uses IK for moving end effector positions (some of the time), and use the actual ...

Calculating impulse propagation through a rigid body after a collision

I'm working on a game. I need to work out what the impulse is at different points on a body as a result of a collision. For example, in the following diagram, if there is a collision that results in ...

Strange behavior of RigidBody with gravity and impulse applied

I'm doing some experiments trying to figure out how physics works in Unity. I created a cube mesh with a BoxCollider and a RigidBody. The cuve is laying on a mesh plane with a BoxCollider. I'm ...

Why do objects interpenetrate in this simple collision solver?

The code below is from a Microsoft XNA sample here. This is quite a simple rigid body simulation that ignores many physical effects (such as angular momentum), but it does try to push objects ...
