NxOgre is a for ^{http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_55418.html}. It is open-source and released under the . It was created and maintained by . There are two main versions of NxOgre; and . 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 , 2D or even at all. It comes with a single demo application framework called in various forms, and a multi-purpose command-line/GUI application called .

The most recent copies of NxOgre will be nightly 'Git' versions but as they are untested and usually released in micro-updates. The stable version of NxOgre is called <strong style="color:#333">BloodyMess <small>(1.5.5+)</small></strong> which is released in bi-monthly updates. An older but still used version of NxOgre is called <strong style="color: #333">Bleeding <small>(1.0.22+)</small></strong> but the API is very different from BloodyMess and Git Versions.

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 , make sure you know the differences between and familiar with the .

Either of these two on-line books are more than acceptable reading.
