Is anyone familiar with the Newton Dynamics Physics Engine? Would it be possible to incorporate the Newton Dynamics Physics Engine with realXtend/RexViewer?
There is a cool vehicle demo, and stunt playground including a bowling demo, and "Tech 3DGS" demo (for shooting guns, throwing grenades, blowing things like cars up). http://www.newtondynamics.com/downloads.html This is a video clip of a vehicle demo using the Newton Dynamics Physics Engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2bY5rhG6k&feature=related Would it be possible to integrate something like this into RexViewer? So we could have moving/driveable vehicles, cars, etc. Pool tables, and bowling alleys, as well as GoKart racing, and possibly even design cars that could be driven around in a region? This is a Physics demo of a Tank (tracked base vehicle) using Newton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_dqMUPeO3w&NR=1 This is a demo of a Semi Truck (tractor/trailer): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2bY5rhG6k&feature=related Maybe eventually use this technology from the Physics engine, and maybe we could eventually create something like an interactive "Rig n' Roll" where users could drive trucks in-world similar to something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeH5Qq6uhJs&NR=1 Could something like this be included inside the RexViewer? It sure would be sweet having vehicles such as cars, tanks, trucks, etc. Would it be possible to include a Physics Engine like the newton, so that things similar to "Rig n Roll" could be created in-world so users could drive trucks, and have interactive in-world play. This is a video clip on how Rig N Roll was created: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a74568geuFI&NR=1 It would be sweet to create interactive gaming similar to this inside realXtend/OpenSim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDYGpUmJM0Y&feature=related This is another good video clip of the truck fueling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atUnjLKmQ9M&NR=1 This is a video clip of the Newton Physics Engine Train Riding Rail Road Demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUkbYGxvHu0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAYPTWqgF5U&NR=1 This is a video clip of Leadwerks Engine 2.1 & Sandbox Overview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmN7OLy6yUY&NR=1 Leadwerks Engine uses Newton. If we incorporated Newton Physics Engine into the viewer, would it be possible to create a gaming region, similar to something like Crysis? Where players could use weapons, and have maps, and play against one another? Drive vehicles, airplanes, helicopters, trains, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouOX5XOIls8&feature=related Would be interesting to see how RealXtend/Rex Viewer evolves. My personal favorite features would be the Hydrax and Caelum added first. Then my next favorite feature would be an awesome Physics engine like Newton. Would it be possible to somehow add a Physics engine like Newton Dynamics or oxNewton, so we could have moving cars, driveable cars, and trains. Tanks, semi-trucks, and various vessels, and other things in-world? Would this be possible to do with realXtend? http://orionx3d.googlepages.com/ This is more information on oxNewton, would it be possible to integrate something like this into the realXtend Viewer as well? Maybe take the Kirsten Lee R17 Viewer, and add Hydrax and Caelum support, and then possibly add something like the oxNewton Physics engine? http://oxnewton.googlepages.com/ Would it be possible to add Newton support to RexViewer/RealXtend? http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42937&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50&sid=ce193664e1d3d7c4af509e6f4e2718c6 http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42937&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50&sid=ce193664e1d3d7c4af509e6f4e2718c6 Also would it be possible to add "3D Sound" similar to this, and look at the Oil Platform Demo and listen to the sound as you turn left, and turn right, and as you walk near the fans, and away from the fans. Could we add support for something like this inside of RealXtend/OpenSim? http://www.devcellsoftware.com/index.php Listen to the sound as the user turns left and turns right. Also look at how the valves turn, and the steam pours out. Would it be possible to include the StemCell Engine inside of the realXtend viewer, and that way users could use something like "Cell Builder" all-in-one tool when developing to create interactive scenes, building assets, or animations. It looks fairly easy to use, could we incorporate something like this into the RealXtend Viewer, so we could use tools like the CellBuilder all-in-one tool for developing with the StemCell engine? Would it be possible to add the StemCell engine into realXtend RexViewer? The StemCell Engine seems to work with Ogre. This is a very cool demo of "Portalized" (Dynamically Scalable Portals Demo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meedeHieHAE&feature=user Mark On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 9:39 PM, Mark Malewski <[email protected]>wrote: > > Here's another clip: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzPpZ1HK-FY&feature=related > > Which viewer would we incorporate the Hydrax and Caelum in?
