Description

Hello,
I use the libgdx bullet wrapper. Which works great.

My process looks like that. I get meshes from vtk, convert them to trianglemeshshapes and then to bvh.
I would like to somehow serialize my BVHs (when possible also the trianglemeshshapes ) since it's creation is sometimes a long process. I saw that there is a btDefaultSerializer in bullet to serialize them.

Would it be possible to wrap the btDefaultSerializer?

This would be great.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing libgdx Bullet wrapper and the Bullet btDefaultSerializer API, focusing on BVH and trianglemeshshape handling. Determine how serialized data should be exposed and restored through the wrapper; done means BVHs, and where feasible trianglemeshshapes, can be serialized and loaded without rebuilding them.
