I would like to thank my parents for tolerating me since my birth, giving me opportunities, and making me look at the world from a different perspective. I would like to thank my brother, Pawan, and my sister, Sangeeta, who have always acted as my backbone; they keep on fueling my determination. I would like to thank my brother-in-law, Chandrika Prasad, for his motivation.
I would also like to thank Sumeet Sawant, Yogesh Dalvi, and Sherin Padayatty; without their contributions, this book would not have been written.
Devin Kelly-Collins is currently a student at Kansas State University, pursuing his undergraduate degree in Computer Science. He has mostly worked with Java and C#, developing multithreaded desktop applications and Web applications. He also has experience in developing games using XNA and Unity.
He is currently working with Surface Systems and Instruments, developing software that is used to process road profiling data in real-time. He has also worked with Kansas State University, developing web-based tools.
I would like to thank my girlfriend, Kalen Wright, for providing me with a base of operations.
Rui Wang is the founder and CTO of Beijing iLyres Technology Co. Ltd. He is in charge of new media interactive applications development. He is one of the most active members of the official OpenSceneGraph community, and contributes to this open source 3D engine regularly.

Welcome to Learning Physics Modeling with PhysX . Video games are emerging as a new form of entertainment, and are developed for all kind of platforms, such as PCs, consoles, Tablet PC, mobile phones, and other hand-held devices. Current-generation games are much more sophisticated and complex than ever. Third- party physics engines are widely used in video games as middleware to achieve a physically-realistic world behavior such as gravity, acceleration, collision, force, friction, and so on. Nvidia PhysX is the state-of-the-art cross-platform physics engine that is widely used by top-notch game studios and developers. It contains virtually all of the physics-related components that a developer may want to integrate into their game. PhysX Physics Engine exploits the parallel-processing capability of a modern GPU as well as multi-core CPUs to make a game as physically realistic as possible.
PhysX Physics Engine is not only useful for game developers but also for developers who want to make an interactive walkthrough, training, or any other 3D application that requires real-time physics simulation.
, Starting with PhysX 3 SDK, covers a brief history, features, licence terms, system requirements, and what's new in PhysX SDK. We will also learn how to configure PhysX SDK with VC++ 2010 compiler.
, Basic Concepts, covers the basic concepts of PhysX SDK, including terminologies such as scenes, actors, materials, shapes, and how they are created, updated, and destroyed in PhysX SDK.
, Rigid Body Dynamics, covers rigid body properties such as mass, density, gravity, velocity, force, torque, and damping, and how we can modify these in PhysX SDK. We will also learn about kinematic actors, sleeping state, and the solver accuracy of a rigid body.
