Nvidia open-sources PhysX engine, including GPU kernel code

Nvidia recently announced that its PhysX engine would become a fully open-source project. The developers have now released the source code under the permissive BSD-3 license and are inviting the community to experiment and tinker. Modders interested in keeping older games alive will likely benefit the most from this development.Read Entire Article

News from HD Technology. Visit www.hd-tecnologia.com for the latest news. NVIDIA has been surprised to announce that its PhysX and Flow technologies are now open source. This decision allows anyone interested to freely access the source code, modify it, adapt it or integrate it into their own projects, without having to pay licenses. This represents a great opportunity, especially for indie studies and scientific communities that so far had limi…

The change goes back two weeks, but its discovery is more recent — an article published by WCCFTech on 5 April, widely repeated since, highlighted: NVIDIA has made public all the source code GPU of PhysX and Flow. The versions concerned are Flow v2...

PhyX is a powerful framework / SDK for modeling and simulation taking into account the physics of the elements. It allows to reproduce the physics of an object, a system, an element. These simulations require the power of calculations and a deep implementation of the real physics. NVIDIA targets uses in robotics and autonomous systems.PhysX is available on GitHub. In addition to PhysX, the SDK includes: Flow and Blast. FLOW is a library dedicate…

Following a first opening a few years ago, NVIDIA releases all of PhysX's SDK source code with the GPU acceleration part.

NVIDIA releases the source code of PhysX and Flow, this is not anecdotal, since we know that the recent RTX 5000 have abandoned the support of the 32-bit PhysX, the release of the source code could allow the emergence of mods that would bring the support of the 64-bit PhysX to the old games. The SDKs are located [...] Read more
