Open Dynamics Engine

The Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) is a physics engine. Its two main components are a rigid body dynamics simulation engine and a collision detection engine. It is free software licensed both under the BSD license and the LGPL.

ODE was started in 2001 and has already been used in many applications and games, such as BloodRayne 2.

Supported Geometries:

• Box
• Sphere
• Capsule (cylinder capped with hemispheres)
• Trimesh (dynamic trimesh and trimesh-trimesh collisions are still incomplete)
• Cylinder (currently in the unstable release)
