About Sand Box 3D

What is Sand Box 3D?

Sand Box 3D is a fully interactive 3D physics sandbox built with Babylon.js and Cannon.js. It provides a creative playground where you can spawn objects, import custom models, apply physics forces, freeze objects in place, and cause spectacular explosions. Perfect for experimentation, stress testing, or just having fun with physics!

Core Philosophy

Physics-Driven

Realistic physics simulation with gravity, collisions, and forces

Creative Freedom

Build structures, upload models, and create chaos

Full Control

Fly freely, adjust settings, or possess objects

Multi-Platform

Optimized for both Desktop (Mouse/Key) and Mobile (Touch)

Key Features

Custom Models: Import your own .glb, .gltf, or .obj files
Game Settings: Adjustable FOV, Render Distance, and FPS Limiters
Multiple Shapes: Spawn cubes, spheres, cylinders, and triangular prisms
Interactive Tools: Push, freeze, erase, and possess objects
Build Mode: Connect objects together with physics joints
Explosives: Bombs, Cluster Bombs, and Flashbangs
Audio: Immersive sound effects for explosions and interactions

Controls & Navigation

Desktop Controls

Input	Action
`W` `A` `S` `D`	Fly camera forward, left, backward, right
`Left Click`	Use selected tool / Spawn object
`Left Shift`	Lock cursor (FPS Mode)
`Q` / `E`	Toggle Tools Panel / Objects Panel

Mobile Controls

On-Screen D-Pads

Move Pad (Left): Control forward/backward/left/right movement
Look Pad (Right): Control camera rotation
Tap Screen: Use selected tool / Spawn object

Tools & Settings

Game Settings NEW

A dedicated panel to optimize your experience. Click "Game Settings" to access:

FPS Limit: Cap framerate at 24, 30, 45, or 60 to save battery, or set to ∞ (Unlimited) for maximum smoothness.
View Distance: Adjust how far the camera renders (50m - 1500m). Lower this if you experience lag.
FOV: Adjust Field of View (0.5 - 2.5) for a wider or zoomed-in perspective.
Resolution (Mobile): Scale resolution down to improve performance on older phones.

Standard Tools

None (Safe Mode): Disables all interaction.
Possess: Take control of an object. WASD/D-Pad moves it.
Force Push: Apply a directional impulse to objects.
Freeze: Lock objects in place (Turn blue, Mass = 0).
Eraser: Delete objects (Ground/Ramp are protected).

Objects & Shapes

Custom 3D Models NEW

You are no longer limited to primitive shapes! Use the Upload 3D Model button to import your own files.

Formats: Supports .glb, .gltf, and .obj.
Physics: Automatically generates a bounding-box hitbox for the model.
Usage: Once uploaded, select "Spawn Upload" in the Custom section to place copies.

Explosives

💣 Standard Bomb

4-second fuse. Creates a radial blast and plays an explosion sound.

🧨 Cluster Bomb

Releases 20 shrapnel fragments upon detonation for maximum chaos.

New: Flashbang

The Flashbang is a tactical (and meme-powered) device.

Fast Fuse: Detonates in 2.5 seconds.
Effect: Blinding white screen flash overlay.
Meme: Plays a "Gah Dayum" clip on screen.
Physics: Small blast radius, purely for disorientation.

Technical Details

System Requirements

RAM: 4GB recommended for Custom Models.
GPU: WebGL-compatible graphics card.
Performance: Use the "Game Settings" panel to lower View Distance if FPS drops.
