PhysX Simulation Assignment

The goal of the assignment was to create a simulation of a demolition which includes:

• Heavy Machinery
• A Man-made structure destroyed.

Tech Stack

• C++
• PhysX from Nvidia
• GLUT (OpenGL)

What were we given?

• A full rendering engine written in Opencl and C++ by my Lecturer.
• A basic abstraction over the PhysX SDK.

What I Created

I created a tree house with a player and a chainsaw. The goal of the simulation is to use the chainsaw to chop down the tree. I added some features to the existing engine:

• Custom Cylinder Rendering atop the existing OpenGL
• A custom particle system for simulating woodchips
