@cowabanga, it may sound strange but i agree with you
physX would be great to have but until then(if ever) we're doomed to use 3dgs ph system. good alternative is VeT's newton wrapper
anyway, i'm downloading Endorphin right now (version 2.7.1 LE) and i already downloaded bunch of begginers tutorials for it (watching them right now)
i have to say i'm very impressed with this program. now i feel like 3dgs is all the way down in the games development tools
