Jolt 5.6.0 has been released and comes with optimizations and a first version of a hair simulation. See the release notes: github.com/jrouwe/JoltP...
Release 5.6.0 · jrouwe/JoltPhysics
New functionality Added interface to run compute shaders on the GPU with implementations for DX12, Vulkan and Metal. These interfaces can be disabled by setting JPH_USE_DX12, JPH_USE_VK, JPH_USE_M...

Jolt Physics just hit 10K GitHub stars! What started in 2014 as a CPU vs GPU ray casting experiment became a full physics engine in 2021. Seeing what you’re building with it is amazing. Thank you!
Early prototype of a real-time, physics-driven car deformation system built in Godot on top of Jolt Physics. All deformation is computed at runtime (no pre-baked damage), and it runs in real time on older mobile hardware. Video: youtu.be/5Msbd0XtCsg
I should mention this is made with #Godot (4.5 will probably ship on 4.6) and will be my 3rd commercial release using @godotengine.org after Parking Garage Rally Circuit and Replicube!

Added support for Cosserat rods to Jolt Physics. This is a stick constraint with an orientation that can be used to attach geometry. Can be used e.g. to simulate vegetation in a cheap way.
Jolt Physics v5.3.0 is out! Release notes are here: github.com/jrouwe/JoltP... (Video is from a new test that validates cross platform character determinism)
The Jolt Physics samples now also run on macOS (using Vulkan)! I'm pretty new to making apps for mac. If you have experience and I'm doing it wrong, let me know. Change is here: github.com/jrouwe/JoltP...
The Jolt Physics samples now run natively on Linux (using Vulkan).
I'm very happy to report that Godot just merged the integration of Jolt Physics, as an experimental alternative to Godot's own 3D physics engine. github.com/godotengine/... #GodotEngine
Add Jolt Physics as an alternative 3D physics engine by mihe · Pull Request #99895 · godotengine/godot
