New mind-blowing video & shots from BeamNG's Next-Generation soft-body physics engine

DSOGaming writes: "As promised, BeamNG has released a new video to showcase the progress they’ve done with their physics engine that is imported into Crytek’s CryEngine 3. This new video shows off new cars, intervehicle collision, breaking glass, deformable objects, and various tweaks and improvements. What’s really amazing is that BeamNG’s physics are now running multicore which means they can simulate multiple vehicles (including collision) at over 60 frames per second. This is mind-blowing stuff so go ahead and take a look!"

i saw this i think that it is amazing that they can make the body of the truck seem so realistic cryengine 3

my favorite part of a videogame was realistic car damage. from the awesome car damage of driver (ps1) to gta3, to driver 3 and to gta4, from banging my matchbox cars up with a hammer as a kid, this right here was the moment i have been waiting for. bravo.

I used to do that too, imagining myself as a dinosaur and destroy those cars with a hammer :p

i banged them up and made the notions that they just crash and rolled down a hill. i also had a jurassic park Trex and reinact the scenes from the movies lol.

That's some very realistic crash physics those guys have made. Will be keeping an eye on this engine.

The cars look like they are made of rubber and not metal.

I thought so too, 'mind blowing' is not a word I would use to describe it.

I would call it 'quite impressive'

[SpartanQ8]

would love to see that on nextgen GTA

[Gorbenshore]

Yes!!! I hope this will be implemented into future racing games.

[1nsomniac]

I cant wait for next gen. This looks awesome!

Was that car trying to mount taht other car at 00:50?

Cool tech, need some tweaks.
cant wait until its finnished and ready.

At this point it doesnt really look and behave like a real car. As someone else said it acts more like rubber at some points, and the damage/impact model needs some tweaking, then maybe it will look authentic to real life crashes.

No denying this is impressive tech. I cant wait to see what the Cryengine will bring us in the coming years, and I cant wait for Crysis 3.
