About ThinkInsideTheBox
ThinkInsideTheBox is a professional-grade 3D physics simulation studio that runs entirely in the browser. It supports rigid body dynamics, cloth simulation with Verlet integration, GLSL shader editing, procedural mesh generation, and JavaScript physics scripting. Scenes can be exported locally as GIFs or saved to the cloud for sharing with a single link.
