Physion Showcase

This simulation showcases Chebyshev’s linkage, a mechanical system designed to convert rotational motion into approximate straight-line motion. It was invented by Pafnuty Chebyshev to improve locomotive suspension systems by guiding a point along a nearly straight path without using rails.

This 2D forklift simulation lets you control the vehicle's movements using the keyboard. You can move forward, brake, or reverse; raise and lower the forks with the up/down keys; and tilt the forks with the left/right keys. The simulation also includes a couple of pallets with boxes. Can you use the forklift to stack the pallets on top of each other?

Thanks to Aiden.R for making this possible.

A 2006 Corvette Z06 modelled into Physion. It has been modified into a police car.

I made an air hockey scene! It has a working opponent! Try to use the blue paddle to knock the black puck into the other net. There is a five minute timer set, can you score more goals than your opponent? Use the mouse joint tool on the blue paddle to play!

A binary counter with five mechanical switches that counts from 0 to 31. Marbles fall from the top of the mechanism activating or deactivating the switches and their corresponding bits. A simple analog mechanism that simulates digital logic.

Simple pendulum push walker

A simple scene of a "car" trying to find the exit to a maze. It uses invisible "view rays" to "see" the walls around it, then steers away from where the view rays intersect with the walls.

Plinko, a thrilling game of chance, comes to life in this simulation. Disks drop from the top, bouncing through pegs to land in slots with multipliers, adjusting the balance dynamically. The unpredictable path adds suspense to this engaging game of luck.

Melodic Rainbow Pendulums

Multiple balls (each with a unique color and musical note) perform circular motions on concentric tracks.

In this simulation we have a number of pendulums each of which has a different length. Each pendulum has a rainbow color and a musical note. Each time the pendulum passes from its equilibrium position, its note is played. This produces a satisfying polyrhythm

A bunch of balls bouncing between two walls in a zero-gravity environment. A linear gradient is used in order to generate rainbow colors which are then assigned to each ball. Also, each ball has an associated note and every time a collision occurs, the corresponding note is played using Tone.js PolySynth. It all comes together to create a cool polyrhythmic experience.

Using liquids simulation to solve a simple maze. Inspired by bergmanjoe and Can water solve a maze? by Steve Mould.

A hexapod walker that uses six legs for locomotion, much like an insect.

The mechanism is composed of a central body with fixed rotation and six articulated legs attached at various points.

Simulation of Centrifugal force: Illustrates the force that appears to act on an object moving in a circular path, pushing it away from the center of the circle.

Yet another random scene :)

A demonstration of a simple pendulum in Physion. In this simulation the suspended mass moves in an oscillatory motion while a graph is used to visualize its linear velocity.

Finally got it to work. Lets hope this gets to featured By: Foox 2 featured in a row yay

A simple mechanism that generates a Lissajous curve

YOOOOO THIS IS FEATURED?????

this is a planetary gearbox. the three small gears (the "planets") "orbit" around the "sun" (the big one in the center), spinning the sun fast

A wave machine containing color mixing particles. The frame is attached to the background using a revolute joint. A simple script is used to change the joint's speed periodically.

This Scene demonstrates elastic (soft) bodies

Color mixing liquids demo

Mechanism which demonstrates the mirroring tool.

First the right part was created which was then mirrored to the left.

A classic Multiply or Release game (from MIKAN) in Physion with 4 teams: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue. Who will be the winner? Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/BgpIU7FuIx8

Theo Jansen's mechanism wandering in space!

Concentric layers of circles linked together with distance and revolute joints.

A simple demonstration of a tracer.

This tracer was created using the Tracer script that can be found in the Assets browser.

Rotating Archimedean Spiral

A sample scene which demonstrates the use of Teleporters in Physion.

A Teleporter is composed of two bodies A and B. When a body in the Scene collides with Body A it will be teleported to the position of Body B.

A mechanism which resembles a factory production line. The Scene consists of a Generator node which will continuously create copies of itself and a Destroyer node which is responsible for destroying any object that collides with it .

Many circle bodies arranged in concentric circles falling down and colliding with some static objects.

The color gradient was created using d3-scale-chromatic.
