Highlights
-
Collision correctness fixes. Mesh-convex and heightfield-convex contacts are now generated correctly when shapes are separated by margin but still within the contact envelope. (#2916)
-
Improved
ArticulationViewselection behavior.ArticulationViewnow exposes full labels for joints, links/bodies, and shapes, making it easier to disambiguate selected entries whose leaf names collide. Closed-loop link
selections also now expose each physical body once for BODY-frequency accessors. (#2935, #2972) -
USD visual material import fixes. Visual mesh imports now preserve face-material
UsdGeom.Subsetcolors and textures by splitting material subsets into separate render meshes. Collision and physics import behavior is unchanged. (#2985) -
Dependency compatibility updates. The 1.2 release line now pins
warp-langbelow 1.14 andnewton-actuatorsbelow 0.1.1 to avoid known import-time warning compatibility issues while preserving Newton 1.2 behavior. (#3043, #3041)
Notes
This release is intended to be API-compatible with Newton v1.2.0. No breaking changes are expected.
