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 weave, a cup and a handful of dices. The cup is animated to collect spawning dices and put them in the dice tower. The dices will then roll down and out on the weave.

Enivronment

As usual it contains a DynamicsWorld 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 weave 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, 20, 60)
    eulerRotation: Qt.vector3d(-6, -13, 0)
    clipFar: 1000
    clipNear: 0.1
}

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

We add the weave 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)
            heightMap: "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
        heightMap: "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 restPos: Qt.vector3d(11, 6, 0)
    position: restPos
    pivot: Qt.vector3d(0, 6, 0)
    collisionShapes: TriangleMeshShape {
        id: cupShape
        meshSource: "meshes/simpleCup.mesh"
    }
    Model {
        source: "meshes/cup.mesh"
        materials: PrincipledMaterial {
            baseColor: "#cc9988"
            roughness: 0.3
            metalness: 1
        }
    }
    Behavior on eulerRotation.z {
        NumberAnimation { duration: 1500 }
    }
    Behavior on position {
        PropertyAnimation { duration: 1500 }
    }
}
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
        meshSource: "meshes/tower.mesh"
    }
}
Dices

To generate the dices 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)),
                                                       5 + 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

                      : Math.random() < 0.75 ? "meshes/octahedron.mesh"
                                             : "meshes/tetrahedron.mesh"
        }

        Model {
            id: thisModel
            source: diceShape.meshSource
            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 (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            objectAt(i).restore()
        }
    }
}
Animation

To make the dices move from the cup to the dice tower we animate the cup and move it up and then tip it over. This is done using a SequentialAnimation:

SequentialAnimation {
    running: physicsWorld.running
    PauseAnimation { duration: 1500 }
    ScriptAction { script: diceCup.position = Qt.vector3d(4, 45, 0) }
    PauseAnimation { duration: 1500 }
    ScriptAction { script: { diceCup.eulerRotation.z = 130; diceCup.position = Qt.vector3d(0, 45, 0) } }
    PauseAnimation { duration: 3000 }
    ScriptAction { script: { diceCup.eulerRotation.z = 0; diceCup.position = Qt.vector3d(4, 45, 0) } }
    PauseAnimation { duration: 1500 }
    ScriptAction { script: diceCup.position = diceCup.restPos }
    PauseAnimation { duration: 2000 }
    ScriptAction { script: dicePool.restore() }
    loops: Animation.Infinite
}
Controller

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

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