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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

@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.

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

Unity Experimental: read all Collider contacts directly from the physics engine, in a jobifiable way: https://t.co/qGfr3PISJX #unity3d #simulation

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

Unity 2022.2 experimental work: batch queries that can return multiple hit results, https://t.co/wNVTV06KNr

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

@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?

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

@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.

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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...

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

@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

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

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: https://t.co/Tix1uWrbif. #unity3d #gamedev #physics #robotics

[Anthony Yakovlev @AnthonyYakovlev]

@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.
