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) |
|
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) |
