[Bf-committers] 3 Game Blender / Bullet Physics plans

[erwin at erwincoumans.com]

Hi, 

1) Willian Padovani Germano and me are planning to add Rigid Body Physics 
inside regular Blender, rather then just a Game Engine/Game Baking option.
Initially only Bullet will be supported, but it will use a C-API physics 
abstraction, so ODE and PhysX can be easily added too. 

See details here:

2) I'm trying to fully replace Sumo by Bullet in the Game Engine for Blender 
2.42. This allows me to focus on Bullet and get much more feedback. 

3) Last but not least, Charlie (assisted a little by me) are working on 
Pluggable Game Engine (plugin), and a new prototype Game Engine based on 
current Game Engine, Ogre3D graphics and Bullet. Because this is a plugin, 
it allows also for CrystalBlend. This is not ready for 2.42, but hopefully 
by the end of this Summer we have some Beta...
