C++ programmer and producer. Mostly Unreal engine and VR Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/15/2021 "Limited, force to use it by Unreal and Unity. Basic stuff like cylinder primitives are missing." 1.5/5 What do you like best about PhysX? A lot of help over a network, basically until now it was in all main game engines. After all, it is the most popular physics simulation engine. I like it is now completely opensource and licensing is freer. Good integration with the currently popular main game enginees. Fast enough. Many people know how it is working on a basic level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PhysX? Limited experience. Missing basic things like cylinder primitives. Bad for the network. For all the above I mostly use Bullet when I implement physics in projects myself. Destruction simulation is limited also. Also much more difficult to use compared to Bullet. The bullet is easy to integrate with WebGL and Android. He just feels easy. Physics is fighting. It is something you do not see at beginning of using a game engine that integrates it at its core. But soon you need more control things to fall apart. Bad communication with users. If you are not a big corporation it is hard to get your voice heard and influence the development of physx. It was bad processes registering at Nvidia to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering PhysX: Easy start with the current game engines like Unreal and Unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PhysX solving and how is that benefiting you? Gameplay in Unreal and Unity is why I use Physx. VR game development, using it for interaction with objects. Some robotics simulations in unreal. Vehicle physics simulation. Basic network physics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
