Qt Quick 3D Physics - Custom Shapes Example

Demonstrates using different shapes.

This example demonstrates loading and spawning several rigid body meshes as well as animating them. The scene consists of a dice tower, a tablecloth, a cup and a handful of dice. The cup is animated to collect spawning dice and put them in the dice tower. The dice will then roll down and out on the tablecloth.

Environment

As usual we have a PhysicsWorld and a View3D. In the View3D we have our environment which sets up a lightprobe:

environment: SceneEnvironment {
    clearColor: "white"
    backgroundMode: SceneEnvironment.SkyBox
    antialiasingMode: SceneEnvironment.MSAA
    antialiasingQuality: SceneEnvironment.High
    lightProbe: proceduralSky
}

Textures

We define four textures which will be used for the skybox, the tablecloth and the numbers on the dice:

Texture {
    id: proceduralSky
    textureData: ProceduralSkyTextureData {
        sunLongitude: -115
    }
}

Texture {
    id: weaveNormal
    source: "maps/weave.png"
    scaleU: 200
    scaleV: 200
    generateMipmaps: true
    mipFilter: Texture.Linear
}

Texture {
    id: numberNormal
    source: "maps/numbers-normal.png"
}

Texture {
    id: numberFill
    source: "maps/numbers.png"
    generateMipmaps: true
    mipFilter: Texture.Linear
}

Scene

We have a Node which contains our scene with the camera and a directional light:

id: scene
scale: Qt.vector3d(2, 2, 2)
PerspectiveCamera {
    id: camera
    position: Qt.vector3d(-45, 25, 60)
    eulerRotation: Qt.vector3d(-6, -33, 0)
    clipFar: 1000
    clipNear: 0.1
}

DirectionalLight {
    eulerRotation: Qt.vector3d(-45, 25, 0)
    castsShadow: true
    brightness: 1
    shadowMapQuality: Light.ShadowMapQualityVeryHigh
}

Tablecloth

We add the tablecloth which is a StaticRigidBody consisting of a model with a weave texture and a HeightFieldShape for collision.

StaticRigidBody {
    position: Qt.vector3d(-15, -8, 0)
    id: tablecloth

    Model {
        geometry: HeightFieldGeometry {
            id: tableclothGeometry
            extents: Qt.vector3d(150, 20, 150)
            source: "maps/cloth-heightmap.png"
            smoothShading: false
        }
        materials: PrincipledMaterial {
            baseColor: "#447722"
            roughness: 0.8
            normalMap: weaveNormal
            normalStrength: 0.7
        }
    }

    collisionShapes: HeightFieldShape {
        id: hfShape
        extents: tableclothGeometry.extents
        source: "maps/cloth-heightmap.png"
    }
}

Cup

We define the cup as a DynamicRigidBody with a Model and a TriangleMeshShape as the collision shape. It has a Behavior on the eulerRotation and position properties as these are part of an animation.

DynamicRigidBody {
    id: diceCup
    isKinematic: true
    mass: 0
    property vector3d bottomPos: Qt.vector3d(11, 6, 0)
    property vector3d topPos: Qt.vector3d(11, 45, 0)
    property vector3d unloadPos: Qt.vector3d(0, 45, 0)
    position: bottomPos
    kinematicPivot: Qt.vector3d(0, 6, 0)
    kinematicPosition: bottomPos
    collisionShapes: TriangleMeshShape {
        id: cupShape
        source: "meshes/simpleCup.mesh"
    }
    Model {
        source: "meshes/cup.mesh"
        materials: PrincipledMaterial {
            baseColor: "#cc9988"
            roughness: 0.3
            metalness: 1
        }
    }
}

Tower

The tower is just a StaticRigidBody with a Model and a TriangleMeshShape for collision.

StaticRigidBody {
    id: diceTower
    x: -4
    Model {
        id: testModel
        source: "meshes/tower.mesh"
        materials: [
            PrincipledMaterial {
                baseColor: "#ccccce"
                roughness: 0.3
            },
            PrincipledMaterial {
                id: glassMaterial
                baseColor: "#aaaacc"
                transmissionFactor: 0.95
                thicknessFactor: 1
                roughness: 0.05
            }
        ]
    }
    collisionShapes: TriangleMeshShape {
        id: triShape
        source: "meshes/tower.mesh"
    }
}

Dice

To generate the dice we use a Component and a Repeater3D. The Component contains a DynamicRigidBody with a ConvexMeshShape and a Model. The position, color, scale and mesh source are randomly generated for each die.

Component {
    id: diceComponent

    DynamicRigidBody {
        id: thisBody
        function randomInRange(min, max) {
            return Math.random() * (max - min) + min
        }

        function restore() {
            reset(initialPosition, eulerRotation)
        }

        scale: Qt.vector3d(scaleFactor, scaleFactor, scaleFactor)
        eulerRotation: Qt.vector3d(randomInRange(0, 360),
                                   randomInRange(0, 360),
                                   randomInRange(0, 360))

        property vector3d initialPosition: Qt.vector3d(11 + 1.5 * Math.cos(index/(Math.PI/4)),
                                                       diceCup.bottomPos.y + index * 1.5,
                                                       0)
        position: initialPosition

        property real scaleFactor: randomInRange(0.8, 1.4)
        property color baseCol: Qt.hsla(randomInRange(0, 1),
                                        randomInRange(0.6, 1.0),
                                        randomInRange(0.4, 0.7),
                                        1.0)

        collisionShapes: ConvexMeshShape {
            id: diceShape
            source: Math.random() < 0.25 ? "meshes/icosahedron.mesh"
                  : Math.random() < 0.5 ? "meshes/dodecahedron.mesh"
                  : Math.random() < 0.75 ? "meshes/octahedron.mesh"
                                         : "meshes/tetrahedron.mesh"
        }

        Model {
            id: thisModel
            source: diceShape.source
            materials: PrincipledMaterial {
                metalness: 1.0
                roughness: randomInRange(0.2, 0.6)
                baseColor: baseCol
                emissiveMap: numberFill
                emissiveFactor: Qt.vector3d(1, 1, 1)
                normalMap: numberNormal
                normalStrength: 0.75
            }
        }
    }
}

Repeater3D {
    id: dicePool
    model: 25
    delegate: diceComponent
    function restore() {
        for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            objectAt(i).restore()
        }
    }
}

Animation

To make the dice move from the cup to the dice tower we animate the cup and move it up and then tip it over. To make sure that the animation stays in sync with the physical simulation we use an AnimationController which we connect to the onFrameDone signal on the PhysicsWorld. After every simulated frame we progress the animation with the elapsed timestep.

Connections {
    target: physicsWorld
    property real totalAnimationTime: 7500
    function onFrameDone(timeStep) {
        let progressStep = timeStep / totalAnimationTime
        animationController.progress += progressStep
        if (animationController.progress >= 1) {
            animationController.completeToEnd()
            animationController.reload()
            animationController.progress = 0
        }
    }
}

AnimationController {
    id: animationController
    animation: SequentialAnimation {
        PauseAnimation { duration: 2500 }
        PropertyAnimation {
            target: diceCup
            property: "kinematicPosition"
            to: diceCup.topPos
            duration: 2500
        }
        ParallelAnimation {
            PropertyAnimation {
                target: diceCup
                property: "kinematicEulerRotation.z"
                to: 130
                duration: 1500
            }
            PropertyAnimation {
                target: diceCup
                property: "kinematicPosition"
                to: diceCup.unloadPos
                duration: 1500
            }
        }
        PauseAnimation { duration: 1000 }
        ParallelAnimation {
            PropertyAnimation {
                target: diceCup
                property: "kinematicEulerRotation.z"
                to: 0
                duration: 1500
            }
            PropertyAnimation {
                target: diceCup
                property: "kinematicPosition"
                to: diceCup.topPos
                duration: 1500
            }
        }
        PropertyAnimation { target: diceCup; property: "kinematicPosition"; to: diceCup.bottomPos; duration: 1500 }
        PauseAnimation { duration: 2000 }
        ScriptAction { script: dicePool.restore() }
    }
}

Controller

Finally a WasdController is added to be able to control the camera using a keyboard:

WasdController {
    keysEnabled: true
    controlledObject: camera
    speed: 0.2
}
