Summary

Description
English: Objects in computer graphics have no intrinsic physical properties. It requires a simulation to make objects made up of virtual polygon (computer graphics) to behave as would be expected in the real world. Many different parameters must be considered including gravity, collisions and rotation.

These are four examples of different detail levels of physics engine simulations or an object falling onto a slope:

  1. No physics.
  2. Gravity, no collision detection.
  3. Gravity and collision detection, no rotation calculations.
  4. Gravity, collision detection and rotation calculations.
