Comments on: Havok 4, for Real?! http://franscharming.com/2007/05/03/havok-4-for-real/ Charming his way Sat, 16 May 2009 11:25:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Baba http://franscharming.com/2007/05/03/havok-4-for-real/comment-page-1/#comment-288 Baba Sun, 06 May 2007 14:25:00 +0000 http://franscharming.com/2007/05/03/havok-4-for-real/#comment-288 >So does this mean we are going to have a physics engine that actually behaves with some semblence of the physical world?<br/><br/>No! It just means that the physics engine will not have so many of the hangups of Havok 1. Generally those have to do with poor joint support, large prims, sub-optimal collision detection which causes a lot of the physics slowdowns. <br/><br/>The ammount of physical simulation taking place on the simulators is not likely the increase, so we will probably not see more realistic physical reactions, or that it to say, more expensive reactions. There are sure to be some minor improvements to the algorithems in Havok 4 to allow for some improvements to the physical simulation, but i'm not expecting extensive changes. >So does this mean we are going to have a physics engine that actually behaves with some semblence of the physical world?
