They can be rigged and animated, placed as a stationary object in a scene, combined with other assets to create a set/environment, simmed or destroyed, and used for shadows or holdouts. Retopology is an essential step in creating 3D models for animation, games, and other interactive media. What is level of detail (LOD)?

I knew that if I could get the simulation capture process figured out in the City Sample Demo, I could make my own environment in the future and use the same workflow. The blueprint was already rigged with a Metahuman, and the riding physics seemed perfect for what I needed.

Talk: Using Godot for economic simulation and agent-based modelling | Jeremiah Lasquety-Reyes. I talk about how Godot can be used for more intuitive and understandable economic models especially through combining a certain school of economics (Austrian economics) and a certain kind of simulation (agent-based modelling).
