The Physics System.

Thanks for Ultima IX being developed in a full 3d world, the physics are just marvelous.

Every thing in the game has it weight and mass point, so very real effects can be achieved (explosions, floating, falling)


Don't look to much or you'll get seasick.
!!

Here we can clearly see the boat moving with the waves.(The animation was rendered using two screenshots and morphing the movement between them).

 

As each object have a mass point, the can be rotated and translated to any position. Look in the next example showing how object can interact with each other.

Check the shovel as it stands against the table. Just like real life (first time that I see this in a game)

This is a very cool effect (and extremely difficult to program)
