Physics Simulation Fails Without SimReady Assets
eigenron · x · 2026-08-18
A video demo shows a physics simulation fail: a visually perfect throw pillow collapses and warps instantly upon enabling physics.
Key Takeaway:
- This illustrates the importance of SimReady assets.
- There is a significant gap between visual models (appearance) and physical models (mass distribution, colliders, etc.).
- Realistic visual assets require specific cleanup and processing to be viable for physics simulations.
