I saw this on Forever Geek, and thought ‘very clever’! Then I came across this, and wondered whether it was…

You can just position them in the air with the manipulator, then right-click and they'll stay there. For some of them, that have flailing limbs etc, I actually tossed them (without letting go) and froze them.

How do you get the figures frozen in the air like that?

Whoa, that's intense! I haven't really played around with roping objects together etc. I'm gonna have to, though! As as I was about to shutdown last night, I discovered the passage at the back of the room that leads to the other levels in the game. Chopping a dude in half then playing with his torso = pure gold!

Made another one last night. I call it… 'Bad Dog'

I'm not gonna get anything done this weekend.

Hee! I can't be arsed to play with the camera at this point. I'm still having too much fun just playing with the physics. There have definitely been some moments I wish I'd captured, though.

I made the coolest beasts so far. My favorites have been:

-the big blue dumpser with like 6 tires on each side just wobbling around in circles

-a gas canister with saw blades and manhacks attached causing it to jump and spin around on its bottom in an asymmetrical fashion

-a group of about a half dozen tires randomly roped together and set at a high rate of spin… the sudden jumps when the tires catch, combined with the tugging of the ropes made this odd sort of flying, 3-d rendering of a spyrograph… only without the cool design in its wake

Hehe… okay I'm done.
