PhysX bliver Open Source

Nvidia PhysX bliver nu Open Source !

I en pressemeddelelse er det nu blevet officielt, at Nvidia lader deres PhysX blive Open Source, det betyder at langt flere spiludviklere nu frit kan tilgå teknologien.

Hvorfor Nvidia tager dette skridt forklarer de her:

"NVIDIA PhysX, the most popular physics simulation engine on the planet, is going open source. We're doing this because physics simulation - long key to immersive games and entertainment - turns out to be more important than we ever thought. Physics simulation dovetails with AI, robotics and computer vision, self-driving vehicles, and high-performance computing.

It's foundational for so many different things we've decided to provide it to the world in an open source fashion. Meanwhile, we're building on more than a decade of continuous investment in this area to simulate the world with ever greater fidelity, with on-going research and development to meet the needs of those working in robotics and with autonomous vehicles."

Vi kan kun håbe, at flere spilproducenterne tager det til sig så flere spil med mere korrekt fysisk angivelse kommer på markedet.
