Detailed Description

btHeightfieldTerrainShape simulates a 2D heightfield terrain

The caller is responsible for maintaining the heightfield array; this class does not make a copy.

The heightfield can be dynamic so long as the min/max height values capture the extremes (heights must always be in that range).

The local origin of the heightfield is assumed to be the exact center (as determined by width and length and height, with each axis multiplied by the localScaling).

NOTE: be careful with coordinates. If you have a heightfield with a local min height of -100m, and a max height of +500m, you may be tempted to place it at the origin (0,0) and expect the heights in world coordinates to be -100 to +500 meters. Actually, the heights will be -300 to +300m, because bullet will re-center the heightfield based on its AABB (which is determined by the min/max heights). So keep in mind that once you create a btHeightfieldTerrainShape object, the heights will be adjusted relative to the center of the AABB. This is different to the behavior of many rendering engines, but is useful for physics engines.

Most (but not all) rendering and heightfield libraries assume upAxis = 1 (that is, the y-axis is "up"). This class allows any of the 3 coordinates to be "up". Make sure your choice of axis is consistent with your rendering system.

The heightfield heights are determined from the data type used for the heightfieldData array.

PHY_UCHAR: height at a point is the uchar value at the grid point, multipled by heightScale. uchar isn't recommended because of its inability to deal with negative values, and low resolution (8-bit).
PHY_SHORT: height at a point is the short int value at that grid point, multipled by heightScale.
PHY_FLOAT: height at a point is the float value at that grid point. heightScale is ignored when using the float heightfield data type.

Whatever the caller specifies as minHeight and maxHeight will be honored. The class will not inspect the heightfield to discover the actual minimum or maximum heights. These values are used to determine the heightfield's axis-aligned bounding box, multiplied by localScaling.

For usage and testing see the TerrainDemo.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

btHeightfieldTerrainShape::btHeightfieldTerrainShape	(	int	heightStickWidth,
		int	heightStickLength,
		const void *	heightfieldData,
		btScalar	heightScale,
		btScalar	minHeight,
		btScalar	maxHeight,
		int	upAxis,
		PHY_ScalarType	heightDataType,
		bool	flipQuadEdges
	)

preferred constructor

This constructor supports a range of heightfield data types, and allows for a non-zero minimum height value. heightScale is needed for any integer-based heightfield data types.

Definition at line 23 of file btHeightfieldTerrainShape.cpp.

btHeightfieldTerrainShape::btHeightfieldTerrainShape	(	int	heightStickWidth,
		int	heightStickLength,
		const void *	heightfieldData,
		btScalar	maxHeight,
		int	upAxis,
		bool	useFloatData,
		bool	flipQuadEdges
	)

legacy constructor

The legacy constructor assumes the heightfield has a minimum height of zero. Only unsigned char or floats are supported. For legacy compatibility reasons, heightScale is calculated as maxHeight / 65535 (and is only used when useFloatData = false).

This returns the "raw" (user's initial) height, not the actual height.

The actual height needs to be adjusted to be relative to the center of the heightfield's AABB.

virtual

process all triangles within the provided axis-aligned bounding box

basic algorithm:

convert input aabb to local coordinates (scale down and shift for local origin)
convert input aabb to a range of heightfield grid points (quantize)
iterate over all triangles in that subset of the grid

protected

given input vector, return quantized version

This routine is basically determining the gridpoint indices for a given input vector, answering the question: "which gridpoint is closest to the provided point?".

"with clamp" means that we restrict the point to be in the heightfield's axis-aligned bounding box.
