Bepu - Rigidbodies simulation

[Elektrospy]

• rigged body support

  • high demand by a lot of users
  • how to simulate and sync between clients?

• Neos Issues:

  • Physics Rigidbody simulation Neos-Metaverse/NeosPublic#22

I'd imagine the host would be the authority for the state of the rigidbodies. It would simulate the rigidbodies on its own side, sending the transform and momentum info to the clients. Each client would run their own simulation that receives networked updates from the host. These updates would correct any deviations in trajectory from the host's state.

I'd have to poke around at Neos' networking system. There's a lot of existing infrastructure we can repurpose.

what would happen if the host isn't present?
I would imagine all rigid body simulation would freeze

It shouldn't matter since the host is still simulating the session.
