Is AwayPhysics working enough to make a game with it?

yes. I am currently making a 3D simulation world using Away3D Physics.

-Q

Then I’ll take a look at AwayPhysics!
Trying to make a racing game, but I wasn’t sure if I should use Nape/height maps, or a 3D physics engine.

If your interested in the possibilities for a race game, check out this tech demo by Lo Chamans:

Press on the “plus” button in the top left corner to adjust the physics world.

Hope you make a nice game!

-Q

Yeah I’ve already seen that demo.
The thing is what you’re driving in my racing game is a “hover car”, so it floats a little off the ground.

How should I make the car hover?
Can AwayPhysics do ray casting?
Do you think that would be the best way to make the car hover?

Personally, I am still learning 3D engineering as well, but if I would need to make that now, I would simply create 2 kinds of track, the one you see, and 1 invisible that lies over the track. You could use that one as a collision model for your hover car.

-Q

Yeah, do a Google search on “physics hull” for gaming.  It’s the concept of creating a super simple, super low poly approximation of the scene and using that model to trigger physics responses.  You’ll have better performance by far.
