physX (install)

by Melissa Golobish · in Torque 3D Beginner · 08/26/2013 (11:27 am) · 6 replies

Do I need to install physX onto my computer?

I'm trying to figure out if Torque 3d already has it or if I need to install it to work with the engine?

And I also an AMD (I think 7850, it's one of the higher-end ones)

If I do have to download it...what do I download to make use of physX to use with the the Torque 3d engine?

If you plan on creating a project that uses PhysX you will first need to have the PhysX SDK intalled on your computer.

PhysX SDK version 2.8.4.6 is compatible with Torque 3D.

  • In a web browser, go to the NVidia Support Center. If you do not have an account, you will need to register with them to have the support staff create an account for you. If you have an account, login.
  • On the middle of the page, on the right, click on Downloads.
  • On the far right column, under Old downloads, click More.
  • Download the Windows 2.8.4.6 version.

thank you for the answer

I looked around, and there didn't seem to be a straight answer about it.

So, Torque 3d can't use the lastest PsysX...that's a shame.

Wonder if they're working on that or not

Updating T3D's support for PhysX is on the roadmap, but someone still needs to do the work. "They" is the community...

Melissa,

I have been working quite a bit lately with PhysX and T3D. It's kinda painful to start but, well worth the effort. Michael gave you some really good starting points. Should those fail, send me an email (you can find my email all over this site (start with my profile).) and I will help you get started.
