    Looks awesome!

    As far as the engine goes. Is this/will this be completely separated/comparable to Unity's physics (in other words, not just different rigidbody/softbody components, but different collider components, support for messages, etc)?

    Either way, good stuff, and very impressive =D

    I will do it as closer to unity original components as possible.

    Now it can be 5-10 thousand of objects. Our work in progress.

    Besides simple collisions a limitation of PhysX I would very much like to see in a new physics engine would be JOINTS THAT DO NOT STRETCH. This PhysX limitation has given me endless headaches whenever I want to do anything involving joints.

    Don't forget to make it work on iOS-Android also…

    OK. Hope you get some time to work on this soon. This is something I think many of us would benefit from.

    How's this coming along, Neodrop? I want to use some multithreading myself in Unity, I was wondering, do you ever find the Unity core functions mess with your multithreading performance? The reason I ask is that Aras states that Unity core uses multiple threads for eg. WWW and some rendering stuff. So I wouldn't know how to ensure that my stuff isn't interfering with their stuff, and vice-versa. Any suggestions would be great!

    Very impressive.
    5000 rigidbodys and it still runs at 30 fps.

    Hello,

    Sorry for reviving a old tread but i am really curious if this is still alive and being worked on.
