i know this topic is old but..any news on that?

If Physics is changed to PhysX,you can leave ODE physics?

Long Shot but Havok?

I prefer Havoc, it seems to be more powerfull then the rest.

i'm not sure if anything of that will even happen. ofc, maybe it will but i wouldn't bet on that.

you always can use VeT's Newton2 wrapper. he still needs to add joints but it's usable

PhysX! yeah!!

PhysX comes with a harmless licence, more features than all the others, the highest speed and at least an okay accuracy.
Newton is very accurate but not as fast as the others and does only support rigid bodies. I also don´t like its licence too much.
Bullet is nice too but due to nearly no documentation not that easy to use. It is not as fast as PhysX but still very fast and has some nice features. The accuracy is similar to PhysX but it is open source with a nice licence.
Havok is nearly as fast as PhysX and nearly as accurate as Newton. But the free version does only support rigid bodies and has a very strict licence and I dobt that many here would be willing to buy a licence of Havoc...

PhysX is definatly the best choice
(I btw also tried ODE and True Axis, but they are both not very great)

Hi. Can you say when do you plan to replace the ode engine? Because I want to buy 3d game studio but not with ode.

buy it - since it'll be replaced you can learn using 3dgs until then. the new physics engine should be out when you're about to need it.

Newton, i can even help with it
