Does any here have experience using AGEIA PhysX with DirectX? And specifically its character controller?

I am looking for a tutorial on how to use the PhysX character controller with DirectX, to create a standard First Person Shooter control. The samples that come with the documentation of PhysX are for openGL, and are not explained very well.

I have never used PhysX before, can someone help me get started please?


Or maybe someone can answer me this question:

My app DOES compile, but crashes immediately, why?

NxControllerManager* pManager;
NxController* playerController;

initPhysX()
{
        <...>

	pManager = NxCreateControllerManager(NULL);
	NxCapsuleControllerDesc desc;
	desc.height = 1.5f;
	desc.radius = 0.5f;
	playerController = pManager->createController(pScene, desc);
}

When I comment out the last line it doesnt crash anymore. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Sounds like something hasn't been initialized properly. Try and check pManager and pScene to see they actually got created.
