- collision shapes include: Sphere, box, cylinder, cone, convex hull, and triangle mesh
- implements GJK convex collision detection
- swept collision test
- continuous Collision Detection
- constraints
- COLLADA 1.4 Physics import
- modular approach supports home-brewed physics software
Bullet provides rigid body dynamics for the Blender 3-D modeling, rendering, and animation package.
The Bullet website also hosts a Physics Forum for general discussion around Physics Simulation for Games and Animation.
