Kun Zhou. Coder Corner. Now that we’re done with the simple stuff, let’s jump to the next level: meshes. The first mesh scene (“SceneBoxSweepVsStaticMeshes_Archipelago”) performs 1K vertical box sweeps against the mesh level we previously used. There are no terribly big surprises here. All engines report the same number of hits. Each PhysX version is faster than the one before. They all perform adequately. PhysX 3.3 is only about 2X faster than PhysX 2.8.4, so things were generally ok there. Bullet suffers a bit, being a bit more than 6X slower than PhysX 3.3 on average. For the next tests we switch back to the Konoko Payne level, which is much more complex and thus, maybe, closer to what a modern game would have to deal with. Results are quite similar to what we got for the Archipelago scene: PhysX gets faster with each new version, 3.3 is a bit more than 2X faster compared to 2.8.4.
Bullet suffers again, being now a bit more than 8X slower than PhysX 3.3 on average. And using large shapes to boot. Look at that! Game Rendering. High Performance Graphics 2010 Papers.
