AMD Open Physics adds Pixelux Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) and updated Bullet Physics

AMD announced that their Open Physics Initiative now offers game developers the open source, free Bullet Physics as the default rigid body physics system combined with Pixelux’s DMM2 ( Digital Molecular Matter) material physics engine.  Developers can now design and interact with rigid body systems familiar to them and easily add DMM objects incrementally enabling them to bend and break based on real physical properties.

The Free PC version of DMM2 has no license fee for development or production deployment and includes all the features of the premium version including GPU acceleration. Free PC DMM2 is expected to be made available shortly to interested developers.  All of the Bullet Physics implementations described above can be run on any OpenCL- or DirectCompute-capable platform
