Car crash realistic softbody development in Godot

BacheyG

A sneak peek at my custom softbody system in Godot — capable of permanent metallic deformations with per-part physical properties. The body isn’t uniform: components like the bonnet, doors, or frame can each have different stiffness and behavior. Vehicle physics will be layered on top next.

BacheyG Can this be applied to not cars -> characters -> NPC?

The car damage system is there. The use of soft body is interesting, but there is the question of how much it loads the comp. Especially since you want to do a mobile version. I guess you can't make a lot of cars in the game.

Yeah, but that one is pretty rigid. I will profile how well it runs on mobile and try to optimise as much as possible.

Pourquoi Pas? [Why not?] Do you want to tear off characters' arms and legs? 🫳 🦶

BacheyG

kuligs2 Sure. This started off as a generic softbody

Then I implemented metallic warp and more. Still in development in my (little) free time... 🙂

This is exactly what I have in my plans to study and test for my project. But there are a lot of issues that come up right away.

Tomcat That one looks great!
