These are work-in-progress screenshots of the aftermath of a collision, six black holes in chart mode, and the first screenshot of our procedural galaxy system (a spiral galaxy with 1, 2, and 3 arms).

Universe Sandbox 3 is a major update due out in 2013 for both Windows and Mac. This is a full rewrite of Universe Sandbox in a new 3D engine.

These screenshots largely represent the amazing work of Georg and Eric. Thanks also to Chris and Thomas for making these visuals be manipulable and move in amazing ways.

Looks plenty real to me. Looks pretty cool as well.

Are those chunks of rock in the background oncoming asteroids or are they chunks of rock that got ejected from the big crater?

Cheesy Hurry up with that beta for UBox3. We need something to cool our brains down before they meltdown and go nuclear on us, and trust me that is a VERY bad thing for us. Who else agrees with me on this one? Cheesy

Yes this is real, not reel.
This is a screenshot from the aftermath of a simulated collision.

Yes.


Which one or are you not telling, or is it both? Lol. Either answer would be cool anyways.

Sorry... doing a bad job of answering questions before fully reading them.

In that screenshot they are ejected matter from the collision.

Cool, I can just imagine what a planet vs planet scale collision would look like. Cheesy

That was brilliant! The suns look so detailed up close now. Thanks for linking the video. I never knew about this beforehand.

I can't wait to do this with our own Sun. Seeing the fate of the Solar System.
