Any wishes for capsules? How should they be specified? By placing two
spheres along with each their radius?
A uniform capsule, i.e. a capsule where both end-spheres have the same
radius would be very efficient to handle. What kind of capsules do you
use in your modeling?

I'm not really sure, but the ones I use has radius and a length.

is that two or one radius?

It has two parameters, a radius and a length..same as the one in

Just to follow up, I didn't forget the capsule thing. I just bumped
into the realization that a capsule is just a sphere-swept line.
Sphere-swept shapes can be handled particularly efficient because
smooth support mappings (used in GJK) can be avoided. So I would like
to implement a general support for sphere swept shapes, such that
things like capsules can be modeled through that. I'll keep you
updated.

UniformCapsule is now in svn.
I did some small tests, and it seem to work as expected, except for
some cases contacts that appears to be a little unstable. Let me know
how it works out :)

Hi,
Cool, thanks for the update.
I played with capsule to model laser beam. It seams to work as expected.

For your information I had the need to set a mass to the UniformCapsule. I modified the constructor to force the mass.--
