AGEIA
Technologies Announces Unreal Tournament 3 PhysX Mod-Kit And Exclusive Unreal
Engine 3 Content has word of PhysX-enabled content on the
AGEIA Website and plans to
release a PhysX SDK for UT3 next month. Here's a bit:
To showcase the
power of the PhysX UT3 Mod-Kit and the PhysX processor, AGEIA Technologies is
rolling out a series of Extreme PhysX Mod Levels for UT3 available as a free
download starting today. The first set of PhysX mods includes the “Tornado” and
“LightHouse” levels. The AGEIA Tornado PhysX Mod, which was first revealed at
the Leipzig Games Conference earlier this year, features incredible physical
realism and revolutionary new environmental impact powered by the PhysX
processor. This completely new CTF map is named for the PhysX-powered tornado
which tears the battlefield apart as the game progresses. In addition, the
tornado actually lures rockets and projectile weapons into its vortex, if fired
too close, presenting both dynamic risk and reward to daring players.
Complementing Tornado is a new PhysX mod called LightHouse, which introduces an
ominous, dungeon-like structure with myriad levels and hidden corridors,
featuring a variety of destructible walls, floors and ceilings and new weaponry.
Additional maps and mods showcasing other types of PhysX implementations and
level morphs will be available soon as part of this ongoing AGEIA Mod-Kit
program. The Mods will continue to offer compelling game-play scenarios as well
as provide examples of AGEIA PhysX use encouraging modders to produce their own
PhysX-driven experiences.
