Get instant access and start playing BeamNG – The BeamNG.drive Early Access version is available for purchase on Steam for € 23.50. It offering near-limitless possibilities, featuring an impressive and revolutionary soft-body physics engine in CryEngine3 that simulates every component of a vehicle in real time, resulting in a realistic, dynamic behavior. For all the details, check out the BeamNG development blog.īeamNG.drive is an immersive driving game in development since 2012 by a small team with big ambitions. So that created the perfect opportunity to have a look at the latest developments of the superb Smash’em Up game. Recently the BeamNG developers published a new tech-demo showcasing some of the tech features.

Still learning.It has been a while since we last looked at the BeamNG.Drive Early Acces title. I think these 'rods' might be better known as ' Kirchhoff Rods' or ' Cosserat Rods'. Somewhere (on-web), I saw mention of 'cables', too. I wonder if Ammo will do basic rods/beams. Careful - crumpling vehicles, (without the costs of high-risk insurance and costly hospital bills). and I have quality set to low (but not super-low). My CPU fan speeds-up just LOADING a map/truck. got some quick and easy info/links about rods/beams? Tell us whatever ya know, eh? Everyone else, too. hmm.Īnd then, what? Something similar to BJS 'weightedVertices'. are essentially 'bones' for physics engines. I suppose I need to go learn what a 'rod' or 'beam' IS.

Anyway, I'm just rambling-on and on, pondering the webGL physics future. at collision time, and only in the needed crumpling-area. needs to quickly increase skin tessellation/subdivs. for max performance, a good physics-skinning 'engine'. It makes you WELD the crumples out-of the skinning material. It uses a crumpling/tessellating skin thing. were actually the 2nd and 3rd time that I had seen physics-crumpled metal/skins. Tonka trucks on my puter screen, I just LOVE it!īeamNG.drive and Rigs of Rods.

slipping a little on the mud, Wingnut panicking to get a winch line run, before my $60,000 load of logs tumbles down the mountain. I love it when my big log truck trailer is teetering on the edge, at a road switchback. Eventually it will merge with Mudrunner, which has darned good physics itself, but better mud options than BeamNG. and have been wrecking some vehicles and marveling at the crumpled metal and flying parts. (Wingy waves to everyone and hugs for all the good physics info/tips.)Īnyone ever fiddle-with Rigs of Rods? Or maybe its latest incarnation.
