FACTOID: Disney presidented that sort of copyrighting way back in the day. Dreamworks — established by primarily ex-Disney animators — left because they saw that as a problem, and thus have the rights to “doodles”.

In the case of Bullet, which is certainly not a “doodle”, well you get the idea.

Bullet is not GPL, it is under a GPL compatible license. If Erwin wrote it for Sony while in their employment then he would likely need permission to release it (most contracts require assignment of copyright for work done during work hours).

epat – erwin wrote bullet by himself, it doesn’t matter where he worked or works. I think he’s done it from scratch, so he’s the author and doesn’t have to ask anybody to GPL his work… :)

oh well – thanks goes to sony also then for letting him make bullet open-source… but main thanks to erwin (obviously) and the creators of the games!! :) some of them still need some work but lets just hope the creators don’t stop there – it would be nice to see these games continued and finished; hopefully they will turn out as nice rounded, polished works of art… -epat.

I didn’t know he worked for Sony! So basically Blender’s Game Engine will have almost the same physics capabilities as the PS3? That’s amazing!

for a months part time work by solo artist, i don’t think it mattered wat engine you used, the results would have been similar to some of these.

Gotta admit I’m quite impressed with the entries. Never thought Blender could handle this kind of thing (sorry), but I’ve been proved wrong.

Some are really promising, all need more work obviously, but some damn good starts means a lot show good potential to show off what the BGE can do.

Well done to all and best of luck.

On a completely unrelated note… I havn’t finished a site for the music, but I did write it. It started as a project to get music for the Blender Community Game Project’s Underwater Racing Game… Anyhow, if you’d like some audio files throw me an e-mail fabmud@hotmail.com
