Forces at Play — What’s Inside
This template is an interactive physics sandbox that demonstrates rigid body dynamics and 3D camera controls in Open Dev Kit. Users can spawn objects, apply forces, and watch realistic physical interactions play out in real time. The scene includes a variety of objects with different physical properties to showcase how mass, friction, and restitution affect behavior.
- A physics sandbox with spawnable objects of varying shapes and sizes
- Rigid body dynamics with gravity, collision, friction, and bounce
- A 3D camera system with orbit, pan, and zoom controls
- Real-time force application through user interaction
- Visual feedback showing collision points and velocity vectors
Newton’s Notebook — What You’ll Learn
The 3D Physics template is designed to show how Open Dev Kit’s physics engine works and how to control a 3D camera. These are foundational skills for building any project that involves realistic object behavior or free-form 3D navigation.
- Configuring rigid bodies with mass, friction, and restitution properties
- Applying forces and impulses to objects at runtime
- Detecting and responding to collisions between physics objects
- Building a 3D orbit camera with smooth interpolation
- Spawning and destroying objects dynamically during gameplay
- Adjusting physics simulation parameters for different effects
This template is a great reference for any project that needs physics. Whether you are building a construction game, a bowling simulator, or just need objects to fall and collide realistically, the systems here can be adapted to fit your needs.
