Have you tried this one?

It's thought as a game. You have to take care of budget too.

cool links!
great for the break time if you are sitting in an architecture office
...you know make stuff collapse :D

there are a lot of realtime physics games coming up, the first I saw was this one:

which will be a commercial version of this freeware:

OK... call me ignorant... stupid... whatever... but why can't I do this as easily in, let's say Lightwave? One can do it, but not without a ton of setup...

@mtripoli

years ago i saw that havoc water in 3dStudio.. with things floating in it and you could interact with them in realtime (drag them around/dipp them under water, stack them etc.).. haven`t been into 3d studio much since then... if havoc is still a part of 3dMax, it might be quite advanced by now..

Wow! That must be great fun when setting the decoration of interiors. Imagine placing all the stuff this way. :D

amazing! Thanks for the link Sheik!

I am on the look out for something like this to use with industrial design. What I need is mainly something to test volume centriods on objects with different densities defined.. Imagine modeling a chair, define the base as wood and some parts as some metal - and then turning on gravity to see if it stands.. :)

Has anyone stumbled across a lightweight solution that could work with Rhino? I'm thinking Realflow is too much base on what I need.

@Sheik: Does Sketchup import obj's or anything like that?
