Hello! I am part of the team working on the PhysX implementation at the University of Central Florida's Institute for Simulation & Training, along side with the MOSES team. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Specifically, I am currently part of the PhysX plugin
development for OpenSim.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Originally, we attempted to use PhysX.Net, a C# wrapper for the PhysX library, in order to integrate PhysX into OpenSim</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">.
However, PhysX.Net uses C++/CLI and, by default, will compile into a mixed-assembly of managed and native code, which is not supported by Mono. Our goal is to allow for portability on all systems so we worked on updating PhysX.Net to compile entirely in managed
code. Unfortunately, we could not link the new, purely managed, PhysX.Net project with the native libraries of PhysX</span><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">.</font></p>

<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We have since started development on our own wrapper. It is being built in C++ and will expose key methods that the PhysX plugin will import for use, similar to BulletSim's implementation.</span></p>
