It seems to me as if PIX for Windows, and its integration with the NVIDIA device drivers, has just gone downhill during the last year or so. I have a single project, which can demonstrate bugs both in the latest NVIDIA graphics drivers, and in the PIX tool itself.
The ODE physics library (http://www.ode.org/) has been around for a long time. Often, people ask "how do I do a good arcade car" or "how do I do a good character simulation" using ODE.


I've been hacking on XNA again. This time, I built a car simulation out of rays and a tire friction model. I'm using JigLibX for collision detection and force integration, but I'm not using the built-in car simulation, as it didn't get me the response I needed.

Geometry rasterization is about transforming vertices, which in the end make up the corners of triangles, which get rendered on the screen (very simply put).
