Bullet is an open source physics engine featuring 3D collision detection, soft body dynamics, and rigid body dynamics. It is used in games, and in visual effects in movies.
General information
The Bullet physics library is published under the zlib license. Erwin Coumans, its main author, is employed by Sony Computer Entertainment US R&D.
Features
- Rigid body and soft body simulation with discrete and continuous collision detection
- Collision shapes include: sphere, box, cylinder, cone, convex hull using GJK, non-convex and triangle mesh
- Soft body support: cloth, rope and deformable objects
- A rich set of rigid body and soft body constraints with constraint limits and motors
- Plugins for Maya, Houdini, integrated into Cinema 4D and Blender and import of COLLADA 1.4 physics content
- Optional optimizations for PlayStation 3 Cell SPU, CUDA and OpenCL[1]
The Bullet website also hosts a Physics Forum for general discussion around Physics Simulation for Games and Animation.
Projects using the engine
You can find more information in the announcement section of the Bullet forums.
Commercial Games
Here are some games using Bullet created by professional game developers for video game console or other platforms:
- Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption by Rockstar Games.[2]
- Trials HD by RedLynx.[3]
- Free Realms by Sony Online Entertainment.[4]
- HotWheels: Battle Force 5.[5]
- Gravitronix.[6]
- Madagascar Kartz published by Activision.[7]
- Crayola Colorful Journey by Crave Games.[8]
- Regnum Online by ngd Studios. An MMORPG which in its latest major update its physics engine was replaced by Bullet.
- Puzzle Dimension by Doctor Entertainment AB. A 3D puzzle game which uses Bullet Physics to handle collisions and dynamics.
Movies
Several Hollywood movie studios are using Bullet rigid body simulation for special effects in commercial films, to name a few:
- 2012 by Sony Pictures Imageworks.[9][10]
- Hancock by Sony Pictures Imageworks.[11]
- Bolt by Walt Disney Animation Studios used Bullet in their Dynamica Maya plugin.[12]
- The A-Team by Weta Digital[13]
- Sherlock Holmes by Framestore [14]
3D Authoring tools
- LightWave 3D CORE.[15].
- Cinema 4D version 11.5 uses Bullet as part of MoDynamics.[8]
- Blender 3D -- A free 3D production suite that uses Bullet physics for animations and its internal game engine Game Blender.
- Dynamica is a Maya plugin contributed by Walt Disney Animation Studios.[12]
- Houdini Bullet Physics plugin.
- Carrara Pro added Bullet Physics in version 8 (only included in the Pro edition).[16]
Open source and other
- OGRE integration through the OgreBullet add-on.
- Irrlicht Engine has several integrations with Bullet including the Bullet Physics Wrapper, irrBP and GameKit.
- OpenSceneGraph through the osgBullet plugin.[17]
- Crystal Space -- Game engine supporting bullet for physics and switching to it as the main physics plugin.
- Cafu Engine -- for physics engine.
- Physics Abstraction Layer
- C4 Engine -- A proprietary game engine developed by Terathon Software into which JamesH has integrated the Bullet physics engine.[18]
