NovodeX Physics Engine SDK/Demo Released

Posted by simoniker on Monday August 9, 2004 @02:53PM from the causing-havok dept.

JJC writes "If, like me, your favourite thing about Doom 3 is the test_boxstack demo map, you're in for a treat. To demonstrate their physics engine, NovodeX has produced a Windows program, called NovodeX Rocket, that lets you set up and manipulate a number of 3D objects and watch them collide and interact realistically. Included are ragdolls (human, deer, horse and monsters), dominoes, trebuchets and a giant Jenga tower. This coincides with the NovodeX Physics SDK v 2.1.1 becoming freely available for non-commercial use. I heard about this from David Weller's MSDN Blog."

  True, but some of them create stress.. the dead horse and deer ragdolls were just disturbing.
  
  That didn't prevent me from throwing them high in the air just to watch them hit the ground, however.
  
  I need help.
