A Jaw Dropping Look At Soft Body Physics In Crytek's CryEngine 3



Well, looks like its time to start putting aside money for a brand new PC rig! Just in time for E3, Crytek dropped this trailer for just one of the new features from their upcoming engine. The showcase centers around soft body dynamics, an area of their engine focused on simulating the motion properties of objects that are deemed 'deformable.' When I first saw the pickup slam into a wall my jaw dropped, because it looked so damn realistic with individual components crumpling, deforming and breaking off. If this is just a small taste of the type of destructibility we're going to be seeing in future engines, its definitely something worth getting excited about.
