Havok Physics Demonstration at IDF San Francisco 2010

The weight on the pieces of that bridge were all wrong. It's like a physics uncanny valley.

@karmaghost He had a big-ass gun.....

Havok future.

PhysX realy suck

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@KupyxaS No Physics engine sucks, and to say one does is plainly ignorant. Different physics engines bring different technology's to the table, and they all generally have something that competitors don't, and the more competition between company's, the faster tech evolves.

its great and all.. But its their demonstration is nothing new. How does a dress / clothing make a character more immersive?

The biggest issue is - does it scale better or on-par with the nvidia GPU specific physics?

They really don't give much info in this video.. nor do they give a real world test. (note the dancing animation is SLOW, so frame-rate issues with multiple dancers is less noticeable).

Until we have truly open physics acceleration on ALL gpu's developers aren't going to do anything cooler than rippling cloth and persistent debris. A shame really, b/c the potential for extra realism is so much more.

GG PhysX? CPU directive but just as impressive
