About:
Bullet Physics SDK is a real-time collision detection and rigid body dynamics library. It provides advanced features for simulating physics in games and visual effects, including 3D rigid body dynamics, soft body dynamics, and collision detection. Its main value is offering a robust, open-source solution for creating realistic physical interactions in interactive applications.
Key Features:
  • 3D rigid body dynamics
  • Soft body and cloth simulation
  • Continuous collision detection
  • Constraint solver
  • GPU acceleration support
Use Cases:
  • Game development for character and object physics
  • Visual effects and film production simulation
  • Robotics and simulation research
Alternatives:
  • PhysX – NVIDIA's proprietary engine, often faster on NVIDIA GPUs but less open than Bullet.
  • Box2D – A lightweight 2D-only physics engine, whereas Bullet is focused on 3D.
