|Applies torque (rotation momentum) to the [[getCenterOfMass | center of mass]] of the given object. Torque force is defined as vector [x, y, z] applied in world space. If you need to define torque in model space, convert the torque vector first by [[vectorModelToWorld]] or [[vectorModelToWorldVisual]] command. The torque applied as impulse. Diagram below explain which way the object would rotate.  For more information see [http://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/content/gameworkslibrary/physx/apireference/files/classPxRigidBody.html#acb04ffc816d45afff2d04e93d7446e79 NVIDIA docs] <br>
