Newton 2.34 available?

[Watari]

Hi,
I have Newton convex hull creation problem as mentioned in the thread viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6731&p=47110&hilit=NULL#p47110, it says the problem is fixed in Newton 2.34, but I can only see Newton 2.33 in Google code repository, How can I get Newton 2.34 with the fix for the mentioned issue?

Thanks,
Watari

1. If you are on Windows, then download&install TortoiseSVN
2. In explorer right click in any empty folder, and select from popupmenu 'SVN Checkout...', in URL of repository set:

click OK, wait for checkout finish. That's all.

Hi,
I am trying to create ConvexHull collision body, but ConvexHull always return NULL for certain set of vertices.

I used the HEAD version of Newton library (coreLibrary_300) still I have ConvexHull creation problem.
I guess I have the problem as mentioned in this thread viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6731&p=47110&hilit=convex+hull+NULL#p47110

Also I tried with tolerance 0.0001 still it returns NULL.
I attached the sample convex decomposed file, for the first 5 sets of vertices it is returning NULL for this file.
Also find below the set of vertices for which ConvexHull returns NULL.

Code: Select all

the convex hull will return NULL is a piece has zero volume. this is not a bug, it is how it is suppose to work.

Ok, thanx for the explanation. Because I thought it to be a bug too. So let's get back to work now.
