bepuphysics v2 is a pure C# 3D real-time rigid body physics simulation library targeting .NET 8. It provides collision shapes, constraints, continuous collision detection, and fast scene-wide queries with a focus on performance.

Use cases

• simulate rigid body physics in a C# game
• add 3D collision detection to a .NET application
• build a character controller with physics
• run real-time physics simulations on any .NET-supported platform
• query scenes with rays and sweeps for hit detection
• create custom collidables like voxel terrain

When to choose

• you need a fast, pure C# physics engine without native dependencies
• your project targets .NET 8 and cross-platform deployment
• you need rigid body dynamics with a wide range of constraint types
• performance is critical and you can use RyuJIT-capable compilers

When to avoid

• you need a physics engine with extensive documentation and beginner-friendly APIs
• you require 2D physics simulation
• you need a battle-tested engine with large community ecosystem like PhysX or Jolt
• you dislike nonidiomatic APIs, as the library admits its APIs are unusual
