Fracturing and stress.

[Tribulla]

fracturing and stress simulation could be really cool and powerful features for box3D and there are people who would like that since when I showed off vox3D fracturing and said that vox3D is a seperate voxel specialised variation of box3D some people were dissapointed that the fracturing stuff wont come to base box3D so I am making this discussion to maybe discuss to bring it over to box3D.

vox3D is very cool. I'll take a look. Stuff like this is often done offline with tools like Houdini. But recently I've seen more of this sort of thing being done online with voxels.

Wait, Vox3D? Like, Vphysics Box3D?

[Tribulla]

no, vox3D comes from voxel 3D. it is a voxel specialised version of box3D.
it has a super fast specialised voxel collision that comes from a closed source proprietary physics engine that has been in development for almost 7 years at this point and it also has my custom fracturing/stress engine that has been in development for a few months and vox3D is its first public appearance. it also has some more voxel specific optimizations making it quite a bit faster than box3D in voxel workloads (this is actually the fastest voxel engine as far as I am aware but I could be wrong).

Ah...
Dang, I wish we had a real-time fracture simulation engine.
