[ODE] Re : Triangle Mesh Creation Time.

[Frédéric Brachfogel]

Hello,  Implementing dynamic trimesh  collision is a simple solution to the problem of long data structure creation time ;) Concerning the contact points, I found a simili answer in the documentation, but I have to be sure. Here is the sentence :"
The convention is that if body 1 is moved along the normal vector by a distance depth (or equivalently
if body 2 is moved the same distance in the opposite direction) then the contact depth will be reduced to
zero. This means that the normal vector points ”in” to body 1." Is that true that with the contact point array filled by the user function, ODE perform the dynamic physic changes on the body ? It really seems to be the case, but I have to be sure too. Moreover, in the case of a point patch (contact along surfaces), do the Depth be devided by the number of points in the patch ?
