Using the Phys X SDK along with Direct X, we created a ground mesh in Maya along with an untextured bounding box to avoid the car disappearing off the edge of the terrain. We then added boxes and a car, with their own independent physics properties. The user could then move the car around to collide with the boxes, allowing Phys X to perform the calculations. Not all the boxes have the same weight, so some will move more freely when hit by the car while others will remain essentially still.
