Server Example: Sphere Drop

Overview

Drops 1000 dynamic spheres from a compact 3D lattice above a ground plane. It is a simple high-object-count scene for checking primitive creation, broadphase contacts, and server visualization.

Target

CMake target: sphere_drop.

Run

Run the build-tree executable:

./build-examples/examples/sphere_drop

On Windows, run sphere_drop.exe instead. This example uses RaisimServer. Start rayrai_tcp_viewer and connect to port 8080.

Details

  • Creates a ground plane and a 10 x 10 x 10 lattice of spheres.

  • Places every sphere above the ground with small alternating layer offsets.

  • Runs continuously so the spheres fall, collide, and settle into a pile.
