Helloooo nurse. This physics engine, called Lagoa Multiphysics 1.0, was created by Thiago Costa and essentially simulates real-life physics in a completely realistic way. This demo shows a piece of charcoal breaking and spreading as it hits the ground. The engine features:

- High friction granular materials
- Incompressible fluids
- Elastic structures
- Plastic deformations & more…

Click through for a few more demos.

Just imagine Kratos’ loincloth rendered using this. You’ll be able to tell his religion when he moves.
