Announcing Babylon.js 6.0

That so, sooo, soooo impressive.

I can’t find anything online for the havok wasm build; I suppose part of that is by design for this release.

But for the mean time I’m guessing the API glue babylon.js uses with Havok is more than enough. I’m just used to regularly needing to make raw physics calls when working with ammo.js. Man oh man, so much to learn! Love it!

yeah we are sharing the wasm build NOT the code :wink:

24

So the expected workflow here is just using bjs api calls and there’s never going to be a need/usecase where we want to make “native calls” as we did with ammo.js right?

25

correct! We will make sure to wrap everything that exists in the WASM
Havok is a sister team for us so easy to ask them to help if needed ;D

It’s so strange… a huge chunk of my work in my old project was dedicated towards getting the most use out of ammo.js. I even used it for faster raycasting. In fact I ended up using it to generate more detailed hieghtmaps 1000x faster than when using vanilla bjs 5.0 raycasting. And now I’ll probably never need any of that stuff again. I mean I’ll still need the functionality, but it’ll all be done via bjs api calls.

Is the link to ray marching demo incorrect? https://aka.ms/babylon6RayMarchingPG goes to the same as https://aka.ms/babylon6TriPlanarPG

Havok is really COOL ! Amazing ! Could we override the HavokPhysics.wasm’s default location ? Request get 404 when using it with Vite.
