So that would mean Momentum is now integrated into SI, as Momentum uses the Bullet engine for this?
Or is this a 'light' version, like the integrated version of Eric Mootz's polygonizer tool?

I doubt this has much to do with Momentum. It seems to be "just" a solution for RBD ICE collisions in line with Maya adopting Bullet also... But it's early days and I obviously could be very much mistaken.

Bullet is just a physics solver/engine, much in the same way PhysX is.

Momentum does use it, but then other plugins and tools also do as well.

Momentum is not integrated into Softimage, Bullet is.

Bullet is a collision detection and rigid body dynamics library. With the Advantage Pack, you can now choose to use Bullet instead of PhysX.

A slightly more detailed feature list.

Nice update!
Hope you continue to pump the selection/ modeling(SDK) department in future releases.
Thanks!

Funny, as always.

Planet Softimage SAP blog post

Wait, can someone clarify? Do we (Softimage) get OpenCl Bullet like Maya 2012 got?

Maya 2012 OpenCl Bullet Physics

It seems like we did, but, the Autodesk website does not detail if we did.

The Maya 2012 SAP details the bullet features as:

Bullet Physics—Create highly realistic soft body, rigid body, and ragdoll simulations with high-performance open source AMD Bullet Physics engine.

While the Softimage 2012 SAP details the bullet features as:

Bullet Physics—Take advantage of enhanced collision detection in ICE (Interactive Creative Environment) and rigid body simulations with newly integrated Bullet Physics.

I don't know about OpenCL™ Industry Standard, but T-rex alone is awesome update!
Then there is lizard and fish in proper scale!
Does Maya have fish in proper scale? Didn't think so.
I rest my case.

Hilarious! :))

You know, you're absolutely right. Now I can do that Jurassic Park remake I've been dreaming about.

Just like PhysX apparently (edit: meant to say "allegedly"... :ymblushing:

) does?
