Physics Animation

Physics animation driven by simulated forces: gravity, springs, collisions, cloth and soft bodies.

Physics-based animation lets simulated forces drive the motion: gravity, collisions, springs, cloth and soft bodies. Because everyone knows how real objects behave, physical motion feels natural and fun, from a button that wobbles to a logo that falls apart. This page gathers interfaces, brand animations and 3D pieces driven by physics, made in Cinema 4D, Blender, Cavalry and the browser, by designers and studios such as Lorenzo Cabra and Reframe Studio.

26 works by 23 creators, newest added 5 November 2026. Each is credited to the people who made it and links to the original.

All 26 Physics Animation

  1. Falling AI Buzzwords by Emanuele Colombo — A physics-driven kinetic typography piece that piles up the slogans of the AI rush, from Embrace A.I. to Vibe code, until You've been laid off drops onto the top of the heap.
  2. Vaultline Hero Cards by Batuhan Kara — Landing page cards for Vaultline, a data security platform that finds sensitive data and governs who sees it, where word pills pile up under physics and get knocked about by the cursor.
  3. Blue Blob Stack by George Stoyanov — A soft body 3D animation from a procedural rig in Cinema 4D, a column of glossy blobs that squash and swell in turn, motion that can be reshaped and explored endlessly.
  4. compliment Wordmark by s.engineering — A wordmark for compliment that drops its lowercase letters into a tumbled pile, as if they had just fallen into place, a logo that trades neat alignment for a little physics.
  5. Crumpled Receipt by Lorenzo Cabra — An interactive UI component for Bencho, where a till receipt crumples into a paper ball at a click and can be tossed into a bin, skeuomorphic physics for a throwaway gesture.
  6. Grok Bot in X Chat by Grok Bot — An upsell modal in X Chat that invites people to try Grok Bot, the assistant that automates daily work, carried by a crowd of blob mascots that bounce and pile up.
  7. Tear-off Ticket by Lorenzo Cabra — A drag interaction for a boarding pass UI component, where the seat stub really tears off along its perforation, swinging on the cursor with a ragged edge before the ticket resets.
  8. Conservation of Intelligence by Alex Abraham — A 2D character animation that puns on the conservation of momentum, as the Grok Bot mascots hang like a Newton’s cradle and each one changes shape mid-swing.
  9. Liquid Storage by Alim Joldaspayev — A storage widget UI component in dark mode where each file type is a coloured liquid in one tube, so hovering a band makes it bulge and cleaning the cache visibly drains it.
  10. It’s a Squish by Timea Balo — A soft-body animation where a band cinches a stack of discs until they bulge around it, the soft gradients making each simple shape look full, round and good to squeeze.
  11. Mochi Tear by Toi Nagasawa — A soft body experiment in Three.js, where a black blob stretches like dough under the cursor and tears, 349 particles held by elastic bonds and drawn as one smooth silhouette.
  12. Poster Ripping by Raul Dronca — A poster ripping interaction with cloth simulation, where a Swiss-style Form Studies poster is torn off the wall in curling strips, its own line, Nothing is final, made literal.
  13. Igor Logo Exploration by Igor Lelic — An interactive logo exploration built on a first name, where a soft-body mark can be grabbed and stretched like rubber before it snaps back with its letters in a new order.
  14. Typography Physics by Nicolas Mariotti — A kinetic typography study in physics, where every letter of the alphabet is a body that falls, collides and rolls with the others, the heap tumbling as if in a spinning drum.
  15. Today Mascot by Nicolas Mariotti — An interactive mascot for Today, a living globe that stretches, compresses and drifts with the physics of the cursor, its mood carried by motion rather than a face.
  16. Click but Spiderman by Özer Gökalpsezer — A playful click micro-interaction where a Spider-Man hand cursor shoots a web that sticks to the button, stretches and snaps, the half-second after a click turned into a gag.
  17. Book a Liquid Call by Val Guerra — A liquid hover effect for a Book a call button, built on metaballs so the pill bulges toward the cursor like a drop of water, then snaps back with a soft pink and blue glow.
  18. Comedy Central Idents by Studio Dumbar — A TV ident for Comedy Central built on its mission to make life funnier, where the logo gets soft-body physics and comic timing, stretching like a tongue and swelling into a bubble.
  19. Falling Dominoes by Fredric Furstenbach — A physics loop of falling dominoes pared down to black slats on dark red, where fresh pieces keep arriving so the chain reaction runs forever, with no first or last tile.
  20. Physical Clocks by Lucas Hesse — Kinetic typography where clock faces are built from type alone, the numbers and words for one to twelve tumbling under something like gravity before landing in their place.
  21. Grok Bot Mascots by Benji Taylor — A launch animation for Grok Bot, announcing the bot on more plans, where a family of round mascots blinks, bounces and piles into a wobbly tower before folding into the logo.
  22. Paribu Art Wordmark by Fol Studio — A logo animation for Paribu Art, whose wordmark is drawn from pixels, the building blocks of the digital world, so it can collapse under physics into a heap of pastel crosses.
  23. Inflatable Cursor by Mohammad Alhaj — A 3D icon render made in Blender for day 1806 of a daily practice, where the mouse pointer, the most everyday interface icon, turns soft, tactile and puffed up like an inflatable.
  24. Manta Ribbon by Reframe Studio — A cloth simulation from a CGI product film for the Fursys Manta task chair, where a ribbon in the chair’s navy finish curls into a spiral and falls into soft folds, raked by side light.
  25. Manta Cushion by Reframe Studio — An unused CGI film scene for Manta, the Fursys task chair by Jehs+Laub, that turns comfort into a surreal soft-body image: the floating chair sinks into a giant quilted cushion.
  26. Convex Hull Script for Cavalry by Fafa Zhu — A free, open-source Cavalry script that makes the Convex Hull tool elastic, so motion designers can wrap soft-body outlines around circles and steer them with obstacle shapes.
