NxOgre
From Ogre Wiki
This NxOgre wiki portal page is dedicated to integrating NxOgre with Ogre only, for using NxOgre with other RenderingSystems you should visit the NxOgre.org wiki.
Eh?
NxOgre is a physics wrapper for PhysX . It is open-source and released under the LGPL licence. It was created and maintained by Betajaen. There are two main versions of NxOgre; Bloody Mess and Bleeding. Bloody Mess is the latest unstable code and Bleeding is the older stable branch.
Although NxOgre has OGRE as part of it's name, it will work with any renderer in 3D, 2D or even none at all. It comes with a single demo application framework called Cake in various forms, and a multi-purpose command-line/GUI application called Flour.
Status Quo
The trunk version of NxOgre is called BloodyMess (1.5.4+) and the current stable version of NxOgre is called Bleeding (1.0.22+).

Tutorials
Recommending reading on Classical Physics
Although it isn't essential to know all of physics to use PhysX and NxOgre, it is strongly recommended that you familiarise yourself with many of the basic terms, make sure you know the differences between real-life terms and more accurate physics ones and familiar with the math and units.
Either of these two on-line books are more than acceptable reading.
- Newtonian Physics by Benjamin Crowell.
- Classical Mechanics by Richard Fitzpatrick.
