Specification Version: 1.4.1

Category: (Physics) Physics Model

Introduction

When 2 Physics objects collide, engine must determine what are the material properties involved in that collision. COLLADA does not specify how to choose properties between the two involved materials.

PhysX supports different ways to combine two sets of material parameters: mul, min, max, or average.
