In this new demo, we use Tegra 3’s four CPU cores and its new GeForce GPU to render an interactive environment with real-time dynamic lighting, real-time physics, fluid gameplay and more.
So let’s cut to the chase. What you see below is the new “Glowball Part 2” demo, showing off the upcoming Glowball game running on a Tegra 3 device.
You may remember our original Glowball Part 1 demo and the game-changing graphics power of Tegra 3. This time around, Glowball Part 2 is set completely underwater to demonstrate real-time “caustics” effects – the shifting light you see at the bottom of a swimming pool as light is refracted through the water.
This demo takes mobile graphics performance to a new level, with roughly 300 simulated kelp plants and over 1,400 other moving plants scattered across the sea floor. Factor in the schools of fish with reflective scales and various other animal life, and the resulting geometry in this level reaches nearly two million rendered triangles.
Now this is interesting, 1amstudios is working on an open-source remake of the classic Carmageddon game titled OpenC1. This remake is using XNA for the graphics engine and PhysX for the physics. Check out the video below showing off the game with PhysX and be sure to check out the 1amstudios OpenC1 page for downloadRead More

Now this is pretty cool, YouTube user erwincoumans is working on a OpenCL based GPU rigid body pipeline simulation that runs on the new AMD Radeon 7970. This simulation uses the massive GPU power of the new AMD Radeon 7970 to simulate 110K rigid bodies in real-time. Pretty impressive stuff. Check out below and beRead More
We have been waiting for the next-generation consoles to see physics in games implemented more and not just the simple eye candy we have been seeing. With rumors that the next-generation consoles are still a long ways off this could be a long wait. But maybe not, Maximum PC has run an interesting article titledRead More
