## Status

Draft

## Dependencies

Written against glTF 2.0 spec.

## Overview

This extension adds the ability to specify collision primitives inside a glTF asset. This extension does not mandate any particular behaviour for those objects aside from their collision geometry. These types are to be used in combination with other extensions that reference these collision primitives.

## glTF Schema Updates

### Shapes

This extension provides a set of document-level objects, which can be referenced by objects in the scene. The precise usage of these primitives should be specified by the extensions which utilize the shapes. The intended purpose of these these objects are to specify geometry which can be used for collision detection, which has informed the set of shapes which we have defined. Typically, the geometry specified by the shape will be simpler than any render meshes used by the node or its children, enabling real-time applications to perform queries such as intersection tests.

Each shape defines a mandatory `type` property which designates the type of shape, as well as an additional structure which provides parameterizations specific to that type.

To describe the geometry which represents the object, shapes must define at most one of the following properties:

| |Type|Description|
|-|-|-|
|**sphere**|`object`|A sphere centered at the origin in local space.|
|**box**|`object`|An axis-aligned box centered at the origin in local space.|
|**cylinder**|`object`|A cylinder centered at the origin and aligned along the Y axis in local space, with potentially different radii at each end.|
|**capsule**|`object`|A capsule (cylinder with hemispherical ends) centered at the origin and defined by two "capping" spheres with potentially different radii, aligned along the Y axis in local space.|
|**mesh**|`object`|A shape generated from a `mesh` object.|

The sphere, box, capsule, and cylinder all represent convex objects with a volume. However, the mesh type always represents an infinitely thin shell or sheet - for example a trimesh created from a `mesh` object in the shape of a box will be represented as a hollow box.

If a shape is required to have an offset from the local space of the node the shape is associated with (for example a sphere _not_ centered at local origin or a rotated box,) a child node should be added with the desired offset applied, and the shape properties added to that child.

As both the `mesh` shape references a `mesh`, it additionally allows for optional `skin` and `weights` properties, which have the same semantics and requirements enforced by the properties of the same name associated with a `node`. When specified on a `mesh` whose `convex` property is `true`, the resulting collision shape should be the convex hull of the deformed mesh. As collision detection is typically performed on CPU, the performance impact of deforming a mesh in such a use-case is typically higher than inside a vertex shader. As such, use of this functionality should be given careful consideration with respect to performance. When `convex` is `true`, the referenced mesh need not necessarily be convex itself, nor is there any requirement for the geometry to be closed. An implementation must generate a convex hull from the input vertices.

Degenerate shapes are prohibited. A `sphere` must have a positive, non-zero radius. `box` shapes must have positive non-zero values for each component of `size`. `cylinder` and `capsule` shapes must have a positive, non-zero `height` and both `radiusTop` and `radiusBottom` should be positive; at least one of the radii should be non-zero. For `mesh` shapes whose `convex` property is `false`, the referenced mesh must contain at least one non-degenerate triangle primitive. For `mesh` shapes whose `convex` property is `true`, the referenced mesh must contain contain primitives with at least four non-coplanar vertices.

### JSON Schema

* **JSON schema**: [glTF.KHR_collision_shapes.schema.json](schema/glTF.KHR_collision_shapes.schema.json)

### Object Model

With consideration to the glTF 2.0 Asset Object Model Specification document, the following pointer templates represent mutable properties defined in this extension.

| Pointer | Type|
|-|-|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/box/size` | `float3`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/capsule/height` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/capsule/radiusBottom` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/capsule/radiusTop` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/cylinder/height` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/cylinder/radiusBottom` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/cylinder/radiusTop` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/sphere/radius` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/mesh/weights/{}` | `float`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/mesh/weights` | `float[]`|

Additional read-only properties

| Pointer | Type|
|-|-|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes.length` | `int`|
| `/extensions/KHR_collision_shapes/shapes/{}/mesh/weights.length` | `int`|
