Re: destruction model - would the amount of visible damage have to be =
created with multiple pre-made meshes or could it be generated =
dynamically/procedurally.

Using a fender as an example: pre-made might have 5 levels of damage, =
each represented by individual meshes. Dynamic might use shape keys or =
maybe strategically constructed polygons that could be altered =
dynamically. <-- This is *not* based on any existing theories, I'm just =
using it to illustrate the concept.

    Hi Shivoam,<br>
    <br>
    the idea list for the car racing project is based on the typical
    functionalities that are found in such games.<br>
    <br>
    For the destruction model, typically a car racing game would have
    the different parts of the car that can be detroyed separately. For
    example a tire would end functioning or the car body would be
    deformed when they hit severly some other objects, or some window
    would broke and so on.<br>
    <br>
    This would a priori need the ability to define several different
    models for each part of the vehicle, along the definition of the
    conditions when they get activated (eg when their individual life
    point count reaches some threshold).<br>
    <br>
    For the turbo engine, this is a basic functionality that is also
    often found in car racing games, this is simply a temporary boost in
    the forward speed, plus a basic simulation of the consumption and
    time regeneration of the fuel needed for the boost.<br>
    <br>
