I'm using PhysX 3.1 as my game's physics engine. One requirement is that I need set different density for each shape(there are server shapes for my single rigid actor). I know that the shape's density can be set by NxShapeDesc::density in PhysX 2.8, but I can't find such interface in PhysX 3.1.

I know that the mass properties can be set in PhysX 3.1 just as the snowman example in the SDK, but I don't know whether there exists a direct interface to set density for each shape.

Is it possible to get PhysX to run on a Radeon GPU? I've seen various posts on forums claiming someone has found a way, but I was unable to locate any actual guides or software downloads to do it. Note: I don't mean running a GeForce and Radeon GPU in the same machine, I mean having only a Radeon… >>> More

Say I have a nice powerful ATI Radeon GPU but I would like to have PhysX support as well. What is the cheapest NVidia GPU I can buy to add on to my system that will support PhysX? (I already know about the driver hacks required to get both cards running at once) >>> More

Hello First theoretical question. What is better (faster)? Develop your own gpgpu techniques for physics simulation (cloth, fluids, colisions...) or to use PhysX? (If i say develop i mean implement existing algorithms like navier-strokes...) I don't care about what will take more time to develop… >>> More
