    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.
