Reactor, mmmmmm physics

Reactor, yes it's time to enter the wonderful world of simulated physics. I've loved playing around with reactor ever since I took class teaching it years ago.

So where does simulated physics come into play with 3d modeling? Well reactor doesn't just show things falling, but simulates cloth, water, vehicles, wind, and dozens of other things. I find that while modeling rooms leaving a door or window open in the scene and letting wind blow threw it moving the curtains helps bring the room to life. Also if your trying to make that sheet look real on that bed you made, making it cloth and letting reactor play with it a little really helps bring that sense of realism to it. I have here a brief little movie I've made showing off some of the reactor features and hope to have a room built with it working in a more practical way soon.
