Meqon(Duke Nukem Forever's physics engine) at it's best!

I saw nothing wierd, but it sure is fun taking the characters in the character demo's and throwing them around. That just made my day. Seems like a good system, I need to play with it a little
more.

I don't have a screenshot handy, but in the demo with the bowl and spheres, if you hit F8 (slow motion) and pull the bowl away before the balls have a chance to drop, they all stack vertically.

Well that should happen in an ideal situation - no air drag, perfrectly round spheres and a perfectly flat plane. Sure it's not realisitic because it doesn't happen in everyday life but it's physically accurate.

Ah, very true, didn't think about it like that. I of course wasn't thinking about the demo as having ideal circumstances, it just caught me off guard when all the balls stacked on themselves ;).
Traditional physics engines have problems with friction and stacking and have to cheat. From what I researched NGD is very good physics engine, extremely stable, not the fastest one but fast enough. And the upcoming release will bring tons of new features.
