NVIDIA has prepared a “surprise” – fully upgraded and rewamped Developer Zone.

Browsing through new website, we have found some intersting data, never revealed before – for example, APEX FAQ states that:
What APEX modules are available?
APEX 1.1 will include Turbulence and APEX 1.2 will include APEX Destruction with GPU Rigid Bodies. If you are interested in Turbulence or Destruction with GPU rigid bodies, please email us at apex-beta@nvidia.com.
APEX 1.0 Beta was released to public several weeks ago.

UPDATE: If you have trouble with new account registration or existing account (dissapearing downloads, unable to log-in, etc) you can send your problem description to support@physxinfo.com (with subject – “PhysX account”) – we’ll try to provide a shortcut to PhysX dev. team.
Thus, we’ve decided to put-in small registration guide and contacted Nvidia PhysX team to recieve some commentaries.
STEP 1. Go to PhysX Developer Support Center and click “Sign in” (upper-right corner)
STEP 2. Click “Request a New Account Button”
PhysXInfo.com: What are requirements for participants in general ?
PhysX SDK Manager: Our only requirement is that developers complete the registration form completely and accurately. In general, we reject most accounts because they do not provide a real name but in other cases, developers try to get cute with answers to questions and then we reject them. PhysX has real value in game development or simply studying about game development; therefore, we require that they register with accurate and complete information, they keep the information current, and that they log into their account within any 6 month period. If they provide email address which are not accurate, then we will also delete their account.
