Matali Physics Pro is multi-threaded, multi-platform, fully featured solution providing additional comprehensive support for the following areas:

• Serialization
• Advanced meshes

Serialization

The engine enables:

• Serialization of entire physics scene.
  • PhysicsScene class provides functions to:
    • Write physics scene to a file or stream
    • Read physics scene from a file or stream
  • Physics scene can be saved in real time, creating a snapshot. Then such snapshot can be loaded and further processed by the engine (from the point the snapshot was taken).
  • All information describing a physics scene elements are serialized to easily parsable XML files.
  • Serialized physics scene elements:
    • Physics objects
    • Constraints
    • Contact points
    • Shapes
    • Meshes
    • Materials
    • Lights
    • Cameras
    • Internal controllers
• Serialization of user-defined controllers through the programmable Archive class.
  • Archive class provides functions to:
    • Open a file or stream
    • Save data to a file or stream (supported data types: bool, byte, DateTime, decimal, double, float, int, long, string, object, Matrix, Quaternion, Vector2, Vector3, Vector4)
    • Read data from a file or stream (supported data types: bool, byte, DateTime, decimal, double, float, int, long, string, object, Matrix, Quaternion, Vector2, Vector3, Vector4)
    • Close a file or stream
  • All information describing a user-defined controllers are serialized to easily parsable XML files.

Advanced meshes

The engine enables:

• Creating static triangle meshes for procedural surfaces.
  • Meshes can be created for:
    • Bezier surfaces
    • NURBS surfaces
  • Meshes are built by managers: the regions, vertices and triangles.
  • Meshes can be read as arrays of indexed or non-indexed polygons.
