Shows massive "rigid particles" simulations at reasonable fps running on the GPU.

No problem!

Steve, I call this convidence

Good point!

:-)

But seriously - doing that vast number of objects seems quite do-able with GPU-based physics - the performance shouldn't be hard to achieve once we figure out how to get all of the algorithmic steps wedged into the slightly peculiar restrictions of the shader processors.

I think we have a good handle on the "how" of making that happen in Bullet - it's more or less just a matter of finding enough brain-cycles to get it all in there...the problem being that the only two people working it are both utterly swamped with other work right now.
