Director 11 Is Finally Due for Release
February 29, 2008
Adobe finally did it, resurrecting Director from the dead. The English version of Director 11 is to become available in March. My questions about a physics engine have also been answered. I had been wondering all this time what would become of physics for Shockwave 3D, since Havok and Macromedia stopped partnering, way back in the days of Director MX 2004. It turns out that Director will now ship with the AGEIA PhysX engine. I’ve signed up to download the AGEIA PhysX SDK so I can begin learning the thing. I hope that at least a lot of what I learned about Havok will be somewhat transferable to AGEIA. Physics is physics, right? Some of it should be similar. I hope.
