Hi guys!
Does PhysX uses one or two stage physical calculations?
For those who don't know the difference between one and two stage physical calulations:
In one stage physical calculation you calculate the forces for current object and then move that object to new position right away based on the forces that has been aplied to it and then you do this for rest of the objects.
In two stage physical calculation you calculate the forces for current object and then store the information about the position to which object should be moved. You do this for every object and finally once you have calculated new positions to all object you go and move them.
Two stage physical calculation does use more memory but it offers much better acuracy.
Also how about Newton Dynamics? Does it support two stage physical calulations.
