3D physics engines.

Are there any for Greenfoot? I'm interested in moving on into this area (having been through 3 IDE's currently, creating games in Greenfoot, various programs in BlueJ, and various programs in NetBeans, I now want to go back and try making a 3d game)... I think I noticed mentions of engines you could use when I was active (for a short period) on this discussion board, I'm checking if this was a figment of my imagination or not.

Doing 3D graphics in Greenfoot requires either a hack or some very clever coding (see some of BuilderBoy2005's scenarios). So I imagine what you'd want is a 2D physics engine. I don't know of any off-hand; Google led me to JBox2D. There are also a few scenarios on the site here that have some sort of physics: for example, Water Works (by Builderboy2005 again).

If you really do want to do 3D stuff, then JBullet is a nice 3D physics engine implemented in Java. If you want to step outside of Greenfoot to do it, then IIRC JMonkey has JBullet integrated and is a nice 3D engine that's powerful and pretty easy to get started with.
