What physic engine should I use in ogre3d

[wil92]

Hi guys, I'm curious about the Physic Engine that most people use in ogre3d. I'm currently trying to develop a simple game, and I'm struggling with the physic engine selection, but it is always a good idea to see what the community here thinks I should go for. thx in advance

Hi! I recommend you Bullet Physics, It's open source and used in GTA IV.
It is fast, well optimized and highly customizable.

I use Bullet Physics as well (you can use btOgre that is a thin wrapper), also many people use PhysX from nVidia.

Thx guys, I will take a look at Bullet physics . I was initially trying to integrate ReactPhysic3d, but I'm having too many issues

Hello,

Here is a compendium of the old Bullet Physics Wiki, that unfortunately is now difficult to get online.

It is still accesible though archive.org, but I made a zip with all the documents:
https://anonfiles.com/NfB8K0Vcu1/BulletWiki_zip

I think that wiki has very important information, it is a mystery why it was taken down.

Just to be sure,

I have already installed BulletPhysics library, and from what I saw the old project to connect Ogre and Bullet (OgreBullet) is outdated,
so, I'm using BtOgre

am I right to use it?
or there is something else?

and where I can find some tutorials about BtOgre?

BtOgre is a thin wrapper so you should read more about bullet physics.

Check the documents I have passed in the zip file.

I don't know if there is more documentation about BtOgre.

After searching for like 30 minutes, I will say that I didn't really find anything else than this post here in the forum:

Just include the needed header files, and compile and link BtOgre.cpp with your project. A small demo application is included in the archive.

At the end is just copying the headers files to your project and update your CMakeLists.txt file to integrate it.
