@VehiclePhysics @PierreTerdiman @PhysicsIsFun5 I no longer read twitter much, so have reached to this marvel just now.

This is great news! After years of waiting, Unity 2022's WheelCollider is finally a 3D wheel! Thank you very much @anthonyyakovlev, @pierreterdiman, @physicsisfun5 for making it possible. cutt.ly/Z4GjcoQ

@BurningThumb Hey! Interesting, since the simulation mode itself defaults to Fixed Update normally. The only way for it to be Script when upgrading is when the pre-2022.2 "autoSimulation" option was off. This is done to match behaviour.

I updated a project from #Unity3d 2022.1 to 2022.2 and the #physics stop working. Maybe you will get this same problem? The reason was 2022.2 Player Settings > Physics > Simulation Mode was defaulting to Script. Changing it to Fixed Update solved the problem. #IndieGameDev

@VehiclePhysics I do robotics these days, and there they use right-handed stuff, which we convert to unity’s left handed all the time.

@VehiclePhysics Unity is left-handed, so all the rotation directions go sort of against common intuition that they got you in school.

#unitytips Easy method to remember the signs of the rotations in Unity: "Rotation around each axis is positive in the counterclockwise direction, when looking in the positive direction of that axis." #unity3d

@PierreTerdiman I guess I’m the only one surprised that aside other lists, you got this kind of list too.

Combining two threads from my Twitter feed: you'll make my "never hire" list if you write "static_cast<float>(x)" instead of just "float(x)". There.

@milesmacklin Congrats on the new role. Excited to see what you guys ship. <3

Excited to announce I will be leading a new team at NVIDIA focusing on simulation, programming models, distributed computing, and Omniverse. We're currently hiring, so please apply if this sounds like you! nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAEx…

Unity 2022.2 experimental work: batch queries that can return multiple hit results, forum.unity.com/threads/improv…

@PierreTerdiman Moved to x64 since then, everything’s got twice larger :)

Sigh. Same code recompiled with VS2017 (from VS2008). Why are my vanilla Win32 dialogs different ? They shrunk with VS2017....

@andytouch Yes, I remember you wrote me when I had covid last autumn. I got much better since then, probably can book some zooms

@AnthonyYakovlev We should probably set up a call sometime to talk about [REDACTED]... 😉

MFW I just rewrote this game's character controller physics system for the 5th time.

@PierreTerdiman Was meaning to ask: for the lego scenes you showed on your twi, do you have a nice editor, or is it purely manual work putting accurate xforms into an array in a .cpp file?

WFC test on Lego tiles made in Mecabricks. Doesn't look like much but it means the analysis code works - the valid neighbors for each tile are automatically computed. Now the hard part: create a good looking set of base tiles :)

@logicalerror Yeah, it's fresh out of an oven. Should be out with the next drop (a week-ish).

@logicalerror 2022.1.0a14 will have Physics.BakeMesh that accepts cooking options as a parameter (per your request some time back).

@arkadiykin @DeepMind I believe Mujoco had a decent plugin for Unity, but exposing an older Mujoco version. With the acquisition, I’d expect the plug-in to be updated and available to all, too. Concerning having Mujoco simulate from our PhysX-inspired GameObject components, it’s a large topic TBD.

@DeepMind @AnthonyYakovlev do you think you’d ever integrate Unity?

We’ve acquired the MuJoCo physics simulator (mujoco.org) and are making it free for all, to support research everywhere. MuJoCo is a fast, powerful, easy-to-use, and soon to be open-source simulation tool, designed for robotics research: dpmd.ai/mujoco-blog

Someone reported a bug in a project that was trying to simulate fluids using 16k CharacterControllers in a grid. If only Pierre knew how his character snippet is going to be used IRL...

@GamesCodeDogs Rad! Keep it up & have fun there. <3

Absolutely no way that #DevGAMM offline is really happening! About to discuss educational video games with super sharp and nice game developers :) Stop by and say hi, Yellow Hall.

@joanllobera Ok perfect, I'll see if QAs can reproduce it. Somehow, there's no crash callstack collected there, so I can't directly check if there are any other similar reports

@AnthonyYakovlev Bug report submitted fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?13…

Read my new post on the physics improvements in Unity 2021.2. ArticulationBody, Perf metrics, contact modification and more! My games friends, don’t skip please, all stuff is double purpose: blog.unity.com/technology/sim…. #unity3d #gamedev #physics #robotics

@joanllobera Is it too much, if I ask you to submit a bug report instead? That gives you a link to follow status, it will become public and other folks will be able to follow & vote. Vote go directly into our user pain rankings.

@AnthonyYakovlev The repo is here: joanllobera.github.io/marathon-envs/ If you give me an email i can send you the exact script, line, and how to generate the error.
