MORSE in Blender looks interesting, and it supports ROS. Blender has a page describing the simulation of soft bodies, rigid bodies, fluids, etc: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Physics
I downloaded the networking add-on BZoo, but it looks like the last time that code was updated was in 2007, so it's probably stale. I wonder if there are other active Blender add-on projects for persistent multi-player worlds.
