Recent development has allowed for static meshes to be deformed according to a nodes/beam skeleton, much like the system in the game 1nsane. Simple 2D skins can be made to wrap the vehicle, and can be supplemented with static mesh objects. Vehicle configurations are stored in plain text.
If a beam is too stressed, it will deform, thus altering the associated nodes position which ultimately alters the appearance and/or handling of a vehicle. Vertices (or "nodes") are influenced by the stress on the beams that connect them. Vehicles are built using vertices connected by beams. All engines allow for a wide range of customization, leaving virtually no boundaries. Prior to version 0.28, the game was limited to typical land vehicles with wheels, but plane and boat engines have been added since. Rigs of Rods was initially created as an off-road truck simulator, but has developed into a versatile physics sandbox. It comes with a full installer, though you’ll have to manually create and place a shortcut on the desktop if you want one. You require 173.2Mb spare to install this game.
IMO, this is a beautifully constructed game project, with the potential for more to come in the future.
I highly recommend you follow the links to the Wiki and the beginners guide as you’ll find valuable information to get you started. The game is quite complex, and will probably not appeal to those who jut want to pick up a game and play it for a few minutes here and there. The simulator is available for windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. Finally, it is OPEN SOURCE, meaning that anyone can help develop RoR into the future. Multiplayer is about to be upgraded, allowing many more possibilities within RoR. Then you can enjoy being at the forefront of this incredible application. The real Rigs of Rods experience happens when you join the forum as a member. The only downside currently, is that older hardware will struggle to run RoR smoothly because the simulator eats up your resources however, optimization updates are always being released, along with many more enhancements, so that problem is slowly being sorted. That means that not only vehicles are able to be created. It’s simulator game where you can drive, fly and sail various vehicles using an accurate and unique soft-body physics engine. Rigs of Rods is an amazing FREE application for simulating soft body physics.
