Bibliography............................. 331 Index 341 i i i i i i i i Foreword I am not a fan of gems-style books. Typically, they are assembled and glued together as a collection of loosely related articles, and no attempt is made to unify them by emphasizing common themes and ideas. When I was asked to write the foreword for this book, my initial reaction was to decline politely, thinking this was yet another such book. However, knowing the editors and their reputations in the physics engine industry, I agreed to read the book in hopes that there might be a few articles that make the book a worthwhile purchase. I am delighted to say that this book is much more than I imagined. Those few articles I hoped to find interesting turned out to be all the articles! I congratulate the editors and the authors for producing the finest collection of game physics articles I have seen to date. The common theme is experience. Each author de- scribes not only a topic of interest, but provides an in-the-trenches discussion of the practical problems and solutions when implementing the algorithms, whether for a physics engine or game application. Moreover, I found it comforting that the authors were consistent in their findings, giving me hope that writing a fast and robust physics engine actually can be a scientific process rather than an en- deavor that combines art, hacks, and voodoo. Also of importance is that several of the topics are about nonsequential programming, whether multicore or for game consoles, which is important given the evolution of modern computing hardware towards multiprocessing and multithreading. This book is a must-have if you plan on exploring the world of physics pro- gramming. And I hope the editors and authors have plans on producing more books of the same great quality. —Dave Eberly xi i i i i i i i i Preface It took some time before I considered myself a physics programmer. Like most game programmers, I started out toying with physics in hobby game projects. These early attempts at getting physical behavior out of an 8-bit home computer did involve concepts such as velocity, mass, and force, but in my head they were far from “real” physics.

  • Software Design for Pluggable Real Time Physics Middleware
    2005:270 CIV MASTER'S THESIS AgentPhysics Software Design for Pluggable Real Time Physics Middleware Johan Göransson Luleå University of Technology MSc Programmes in Engineering Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Division of Computer Science 2005:270 CIV - ISSN: 1402-1617 - ISRN: LTU-EX--05/270--SE AgentPhysics Software Design for Pluggable Real Time Physics Middleware Johan GÄoransson Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, LuleºaUniversity of Technology, [email protected] October 27, 2005 Abstract This master's thesis proposes a software design for a real time physics appli- cation programming interface with support for pluggable physics middleware. Pluggable means that the actual implementation of the simulation is indepen- dent and interchangeable, separated from the user interface of the API. This is done by dividing the API in three layers: wrapper, peer, and implementation. An evaluation of Open Dynamics Engine as a viable middleware for simulating rigid body physics is also given based on a number of test applications. The method used in this thesis consists of an iterative software design based on a literature study of rigid body physics, simulation and software design, as well as reviewing related work. The conclusion is that although the goals set for the design were ful¯lled, it is unlikely that AgentPhysics will be used other than as a higher level API on top of ODE, and only ODE. This is due to a number of reasons such as middleware speci¯c tools and code containers are di±cult to support, clash- ing programming paradigms produces an error prone implementation layer and middleware developers are reluctant to port their engines to Java.

  • Locotest: Deploying and Evaluating Physics-Based Locomotion on Multiple Simulation Platforms
    LocoTest: Deploying and Evaluating Physics-based Locomotion on Multiple Simulation Platforms Stevie Giovanni and KangKang Yin National University of Singapore fstevie,[email protected] Abstract. In the pursuit of pushing active character control into games, we have deployed a generalized physics-based locomotion control scheme to multiple simulation platforms, including ODE, PhysX, Bullet, and Vortex. We first overview the main characteristics of these physics engines. Then we illustrate the major steps of integrating active character controllers with physics SDKs, together with necessary implementation details. We also evaluate and compare the performance of the locomotion control on different simulation platforms. Note that our work only represents an initial attempt at doing such evaluation, and additional refine- ment of the methodology and results can still be expected. We release our code online to encourage more follow-up works, as well as more interactions between the research community and the game development community. Keywords: physics-based animation, simulation, locomotion, motion control 1 Introduction Developing biped locomotion controllers has been a long-time research interest in the Robotics community [3]. In the Computer Animation community, Hodgins and her col- leagues [12, 7] started the many efforts on locomotion control of simulated characters. Among these efforts, the simplest class of locomotion control methods employs re- altime feedback laws for robust balance recovery [12, 7, 14, 9, 4]. Optimization-based control methods, on the other hand, are more mathematically involved, but can incor- porate more motion objectives automatically [10, 8]. Recently, data-driven approaches have become quite common, where motion capture trajectories are referenced to further improve the naturalness of simulated motions [14, 10, 9].

  • Physics Application Programming Interface
    PHI: Physics Application Programming Interface Bing Tang, Zhigeng Pan, ZuoYan Lin, Le Zheng State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University, Hang Zhou, China, 310027 {btang, zgpan, linzouyan, zhengle}@cad.zju.edu.cn Abstract. In this paper, we propose to design an easy to use physics applica- tion programming interface (PHI) with support for pluggable physics library. The goal is to create physically realistic 3D graphics environments and inte- grate real-time physics simulation into games seamlessly with advanced fea- tures, such as interactive character simulation and vehicle dynamics. The actual implementation of the simulation was designed to be independent, interchange- able and separated from the user interface of the API. We demonstrate the util- ity of the middleware by simulating versatile vehicle dynamics and generating quality reactive human motions. 1 Introduction Each year games become more realistic visually. Current generation graphics cards can produce amazing high-quality visual effects. But visual realism is only half the battle. Physical realism is another half [1]. The impressive capabilities of the latest generation of video game hardware have raised our expectations of not only how digital characters look, but also they behavior [2]. As the speed of the video game hardware increases and the algorithms get refined, physics is expected to play a more prominent role in video games. The long-awaited Half-life 2 impressed the players deeply for the amazing Havok physics engine[3]. The incredible physics engine of the game makes the whole game world believable and natural. Items thrown across a room will hit other objects, which will then react in a very convincing way.

  • A Position Based Approach to Ragdoll Simulation
    LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY Department of Electrical Engineering Master Thesis A Position Based Approach to Ragdoll Simulation Fiammetta Pascucci LITH-ISY-EX- -07/3966- -SE June 2007 LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY Department of Electrical Engineering Master Thesis A position Based Approach to Ragdoll Simulation Fiammetta Pascucci LITH-ISY-EX- -07/3966- -SE June 2007 Supervisor: Ingemar Ragnemalm Examinator: Ingemar Ragnemalm Abstract Create the realistic motion of a character is a very complicated work. This thesis aims to create interactive animation for characters in three dimen- sions using position based approach. Our character is pictured from ragdoll, which is a structure of system particles where all particles are linked by equidistance con- straints. The goal of this thesis is observed the fall in the space of our ragdoll after creating all constraints, as structure, contact and environment constraints. The structure constraint represents all joint constraints which have one, two or three Degree of Freedom (DOF). The contact constraints are represented by collisions between our ragdoll and other objects in the space. Finally, the environment constraints are represented by means of the wall con- straint. The achieved results allow to have a realist fall of our ragdoll in the space. Keywords: Particle System, Verlet’s Integration, Skeleton Animation, Joint Con- straint, Environment Constraint, Skinning, Collision Detection. Acknowledgments I would to thanks all peoples who aid on making my master thesis work. In particular, thanks a lot to the person that most of all has believed in me.
