From BeamNG.drive soft body description
What was said about BeamNG.drive
BeamNG.drive builds cars from nodes and beams so damage changes behavior. Each vehicle is a set of nodes joined by stiff spring-like beams. A collision yanks on the connected beams and crumples the car, so the deformation changes how the car moves and collides.
Most racing games only show damage with shaders and textures. BeamNG.drive and Wreckfest deform the actual car model. The source puts it as being able to "literally squish and squash the model of the car to fundamentally change how the object moves".
How Games Do Destruction
Builds cars from nodes joined by stiff spring-like beams, so a hit yanks connected nodes and crumples the car. The deformation changes how the car moves and collides, unlike texture-based damage.
