Hi all,
This is the forum to host the development of an Open Source implementation of the Bullet Physics system as a Houdini Solver DOP.
The corresponding wiki entry is here: BulletPhysicsRBDSolverDOP.
The code is hosted on the odforce plugins sourceforge page. Well, soon! Gotta nail a few more issues before I can upload it.
Naturally, this needs as many helpful contributors as possible to get truly useful. Please write if you're interested in contributing to this effort. So far I've found the API to be easy to build and very clean to work with. It's under active development and so should be a fun experience for any curious coders.
This forum would be the right place for any suggestions, requests and bugs.
Thanks,
Jason and the rest of dirty odforce crew

The link on the wiki to the bullet source is broken.

If can work on this with an escape license ( or is this doable with an apprentice master license? ), I'll gladly help out. I did quite a lot of work with Bullet and ODE at my last job.
Plus I'm pretty getting pretty frustrated with the broken GLSL implementation in Houdini OSX so a new distraction would be nice

I believe it should be doable with an apprentice license. As far as I know the full hdk comes along with it, the only problem is all example files will be in apprentice format.

Totally right, I'm developing it on Apprentice at home right now. You might have to figure out how to start up Houdini with Apprentice licensing when you already have Escape so the DOP contexts are available.
Also: an idea - once we've figured out this DOP, it's possible to re-use much of the code for a Bullet SOP, which, like the Spring SOP, etc, will solve dynamics in SOPs. This would be good for Escape licenses, etc but you do miss out on all the powerful functionality of DOPs.

At Sony we had a SOP implementation of Bullet. You do miss the powerful functionality of DOPS, but then you also lose out on the alarming complexity of it too . Sometimes it's nice just to have a dynamics sim controlled by point attrs.

A SOP/Escape support would be awesome, as I don't have a Master.

I'm in as well.
i've used the code from the other thread, compiled with the latest bullet on a mac and it is working.
Is there a more current version i can mess arround with it ? i havent found something on the SourceForge Page.
