Gravity Simulation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We’ve completely overhauled our gravity simulation to increase accuracy, stability, and overall performance. Run simulations at higher speeds than ever before while maintaining gravitational accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many simulations can now be run at noticeably higher simulation speeds. Try increasing the simulation speed of the Solar System simulation or your own custom simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hubble Space Telescope used to crash into or fly away from Earth at simulation speeds greater than a couple days per second. Now it maintains a stable orbit at much higher simulation speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choreography simulations, where moons are distributed evenly over a pre-computed path creating a unique design, are much more stable and create the desired patterns, like this fish, before becoming gravitationally unstable and falling apart, as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve also added more controls so you can fine-tune the balance between maximum simulation speed and gravitational accuracy. Learn more in our updated guide<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Highlights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Small objects colliding with gas giants now create more realistic impacts with smaller, gradually growing impact areas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Object selection has been completely rewritten. It\u2019s now much easier to select objects in crowded simulations with lots of dust clouds and fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
