PhysX SDK 3.3 Beta 2, a Quick Test of the Cloth Module

JeGX — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:09:18 +0000

In my previous tests with the PhysX 3.2(.4) SDK (see the PhysX 3 plugin WIP thread), I couldn’t simulate a cloth (a simple mesh grid) on GPU with more than 33×33 vertices otherwise the simulation fell back to CPU. I was a bit suprised because I already created clothes with 50×50 or even 100×100 vertices with PhysX 2.8 SDK (see the PhysX test of MSI … Continue reading PhysX SDK 3.3 Beta 2, a Quick Test of the Cloth Module »
