Bones If the imported mesh has a skeleton, its component bones will be created along with the submeshes. Subentities can be attached to bones. General parameters: * Name: Name of the bone. Cannot be edited. Attachments Tab: Just like with bodies, stuff can be attached to a bone. To do so, just set up the filter and press the attach button, then click on objects you want to attach.

Joint EditMode To build more complex physics setups, you will need to add joints to your models. This way you will be able to create stuff like doors, tables with drawers, levers and so on. There are four types of joints that can be created at the moment:

Joints Joints are used to constrain the movement between to bodies. They are a very powerful tool and can be used to do a lot of stuff such as lamps that can sway back and forth, drawers that can be interacted with and even a car with wheels and suspenders.

Model Editor The Model Editor is our own application to create entities. An entity (saved in a .ent file) is composed of a mesh and a set of physical properties, bodies, and optionally joints and sub-entities. It can also contain animations for an animated entity, such as NPC's. Also worth noting is that an entity must be set up with a user defined type.

Shapes General Parameters: * Name: Name of the shape. * Position: Position of the shape in the world. * Rotation: 3D Vector storing the shape rotation. * Scale: 3D Vector storing the scale of the shape. Shape Specific: * Create body: will create a body out of the shape. Also works when multiple shapes are selected, thus creating a multishape body.

SubMeshes Whenever a Mesh is imported into the ModelEditor, it will spawn one or several submeshes. These can be attached to bodies. General Parameters: * Name: Name of the shape. * Position: Position of the shape in the world. If the mesh has a skeleton, no transformations can be applied.

Entity Preview/Animation Editor window When you have your entity all set up with bodies, joints and such, it is time to test how it would look in the game. That's what the Entity Preview window is for. In this window you will be able to see how the entity would look ingame, meaning it will be physically simulated. In it you will also get to edit the entity's animations, if any. To start the preview, just press the
