OgreODE is an Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) wrapper, originally written by "monster". ODE is available [http://ode.org/|here]
This physics wrapper supports all ODE primitives, and adds some prefab object like vehicles and ragdoll support,
There are currently both Linux and Win32 versions available.

__OgreODE is in the ogreaddons SVN repository.__

This physics wrapper is now available for Dagon 1.2 (also 1.2.2) and you can download it from [http://tuan.kuranes.free.fr/Ogre.html#OgreOde|Tuan Kuranes site].
(Win32 binary Demo installer, Source SDK installer or Source Zip available)

Also, a newer version compatible with Eihort 1.4 (up to 1.4.5 for now) is available from CVS.

Check it's own [http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/viewforum.php?f=7|Forum] for news.

In the source download version we can find three __tutorials__:

* Simple scene: a simple file show us all function inside OgreODE (primitives collisions, joint, ragdolls, car)
* Landscape: The usage of [[Terrain Scene Manager]] in OgreODE
* Racing tutorial (called GranTurismOgre): A demo of racing done with OgreODE (car + {LEX()}trimesh{LEX})

The [http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki|ODE wiki] also includes useful information.

Below is step by step guiding how to understand and use OgreODE.
Also be sure to check [http://www.ode.org/ ODE website] which is full of documentation, info, and a very active mailing list for all ODE specific issues.
