So it seems to me that PhysX can be used with OpenSim on the server-side. They''ll be running tests on thier Beta grid tomorrw, as a matter of fact. Tranq is very approachable so he might be willing to give you a few tips.<div>

Joshua,<br><br>OpenSimulator has 2 physics engines that are not built from scratch for OpenSim, the 1st is Open Dynamics Engine (ODE), and the second is Bullet which is also a widely used physics engine. Both have been modified for use with OpenSimulator but are not built from scratch specifically for this project.<br>
<br>R.Gunther,<br>There is a software/CPU version of PhysX a well as GPu based versions, you would likely need to get the software version working before you would even think about adding GPu support for it.<div>

<div>Correct me if am wrong.<br>
But PhysX is videocard based. So lets say PhysX works only client
side.<br>
In that case i dont see how you want to use it with opensim.
Serverside is not a good idea. many dedicated servers dont have <br>
Graphics onboard with PhysX support. So it would only work for
people that have the right card installed.<div><br>

<blockquote type="cite"><div>It appears to be that OpenSimulator has its own built
from scratch physics engine. My question is would it be possible
to use(of course applying the proper development to it) the Nvidia
PhysX engine? It was one of the things my grid admins have been
discussing but they arent sure if its possible to use, its a free
software but that doesnt mean it will work with the type of
platform OpenSim is.
