BeamNG has released a brand new tech video, showcasing the amazing soft-body physics engine and car deformation that players can experience in BeamNG.drive. BeamNG.drive is described as an immersive vehicle simulator offering near limitless possibilities to explore driving, stunting, crashing, and customizing vehicles.
According to the team, the soft-body physics engine at its core creates an authentic and visceral driving experience with the most realistic and violent car damage to appear in a game. The vehicles and open-world environments are hand-crafted with passionate attention to detail, and vehicle modifications have realistic effects that come naturally from the in-depth simulation.
BeamNG.drive features detailed soft-body physics, simulating every component of a vehicle in real time using nodes (mass points) and beams (springs) for the most detailed, authentic, and versatile simulation ever seen in a game. The game comes with more than 20 detailed, customizable, destructible vehicles, ranging from compact cars to huge trucks, with more to come. In addition, vehicles can be customized with different wheels, suspension, engines, spoilers, body kits and more.
BeamNG.drive also features the most realistic damage model ever. According to the team, there is no predefined damage and no limit to how much a car can be destroyed as every body panel is simulated and crumples like the real thing in a crash.
Enjoy!

Where’s all the broken plastic bits? Not quite realistic to me.
Could fake those pretty easily with mesh particles.
I think they just want to show off the deformation effects.
Couple years ago when they released an early access version it was fun, couple years later, still the same jelly cars and very little improvements. only Mods kept it alive.
It’s a cool game but entirely rigid environments and very obsolete graphics kinda spoil it. Still worth buying, as there aren’t many titles like this.
Its cool and all but they really should make a proper game out of it now. A banger racing game with realistic career mode would be good.
I can’t agree more
I would like to see a career mode in this game, it would be a buy for me. Especially with my G27
Deformations are very good, traction physics not good at all
