Ragdoll physics simulate the interaction of a physical body with its geometric
environment. For example, to show a zombie falling down a flight of stairs, an engine
might calculate the collision and motion of each limb and stair. Instead of being animated
beforehand, each motion of the zombie's body would be uniquely computed in real-time.
Particle physics simulate the motion of many small, similar things emitted from a
common source. Examples of particle physics include shrapnel from a bomb, sparks from a
power line, or lava erupting from a volcano. In the case of a liquid, such as lava, the
Cloth modeling simulates the realistic motion of cloth, such as a shirt, cape, or flag.
