I don't think the soft body physics will crash your computer... on my PC I bought 3 years ago with a video card from a year ago, the demo with a bunch of cows falling on pegs, which I thought would chug along at low framerates because my video card doesn't handle physics very well, goes without any bumps or anything. It's truely amazing technology.

That's because the cows don't rip apart. Try it on the second demo, I bet it will studder a little.

David has said many times that many of the graphical features will be customizable. So if you have a less adequete processor/video card/other shit you can turn off whichever options you can live without in order to imporve framerates. That being said, i have every confidence in David's ability to write an efficent physics system to make things easier on your processor/video card/other shit.

It actually works like a charm as well.

Any way to try/see this on a mac?

I can make a video with Fraps, if you guys want.

What's Fraps.
and Yes Please. that would be Brill.

Fraps is a video recording software.

Alright, I've made the vid and they're all compressed, now they're uploading. Gotta go to dinner so I'll post when I get back.

Um, I think those demos would be tougher on your processor than your video card, seeing as those models aren't very high-poly as it is.

Alright, here are the files. They probably will take a long time to load, sorry about that.

The falling cows demo, not very long as it keeps doing the same thing over and over. I tried pulling on one cow and pushing it as well.

This is the zombies falling onto spikes which rips them apart and stuff. It's amazing, and I want it as my screensaver.

This is my favorite, the one where you can fool around with the zombie by pulling parts off with right click and sawing through him with left click. Note how I grind him into little bloody pieces!

Youtube please!

Can't be bothered to re-upload for now.

Besides, Youtube makes things terrible quality. It's better to have to high quality version than a blocky, jerky version.

They don't work. =( Youtuuubbbee.

Fine. Original post edited with both.

Thanks for making the videos.
