@2:04 Indeed. Blender needs to up their game in simulation and generally the physics engine.

[Azartiny]

I'm looking forward to this thing in Godot and Blender!

[Nexipal]

Could you use this to upgrade the physx version in games with injection or data replacement?

[goatpepperherbaltea]

Does this mean someone could build a blender addon that uses this?

[benmcreynolds]

I honestly put good physics engine builds higher up in importance in video games than GRAPHICS/ray tracing/frame rate/resolution. For me, if the core of the game has a awesome physics build. Then the rest of the gameplay mechanics can fall into place and really put together a creative diverse game. Instead of a game with high graphics, shadows, but the gameplay, environment is really disconnected or repetitive stock animations. That gets stale.
*Also I think physics model's will be very useful for running diagnostics and tests of certain materials, stress factors, certain conditions, etc. So you can run the virtual model instead of hoping your build design holds up and just going thru with building a huge project. Or testing how certain storms would affect area's. Learning how protein's fold. Etc. Etc.

Meh, it's only the CPU code. The GPU accelerated stuff is still proprietary.

_"We could not get anyone to pay to use PhysX so we made it open source"_

[fireaza]

Hoping this leads to more games using it. There was a boom in games using PhysX back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, which produced physics details that have yet to be beat in modern games that don't use PhysX.

[MrGTAmodsgerman]

Oh shit, i would wish to see that coming to Unreal Engine

[InVader]

Hawken, wow, that's a blast from the past

[noxagonal]

Nvidia open sourcing something relatively major... I thought I'd never see the day. XD

[PhotoJohn]

Does any game actually use phsyx anymore? Borderlands 2 is the last game I played with it. It was awesome but doesn’t seem to be used in games anymore. The effects in borderlands 3 was very lacking compare to 2 with physx on.

[jmalmsten]

Here's another person hoping these developments will benefit Blender users. :D

[yuan.pingchen]

NVIDIA:it's time to rescue our reputation to force people turing their attention from issues of RTX4090 12VHPWR.

[tangentsmith]

Thank you! Now you can sell 4070 for the price of ultraoverpriced 4080 again! Lol

[habibsoufi]

sorry but i had to ask what game is at 0:29

[Armitage]

This would be an opportunity for Unity to finally benefit from an update for Flex because the plugin in question has been outdated for a very long time and has hardly ever been maintained by NVidia. But why did they wait so long? And yet, we'll have to wait for its implementation in popular engines to really get an idea of it.

[mousse]

Cinema4D just got Pyro, really cool stuff for fire sims. Would be cool if you checked that out.

[sanketvaria]

so will PhysX 5 run on AMD cards? also will it work for games?

[jaromor]

Maybe please explain what does this mean for AMD GPUs?
