Hardware/Software Rigid Bodies
- New joint projection mode
- A new stack overflow protection scheme
Hardware Fluids
- Fluid collision improvements
- New static and dynamic cooking methods
- Improved particle sub-system
- New runtime switches for controlling simulation fidelity
- Fluids emitters are now attached to shapes not actors
Hardware Scene Manager (HSM)
