Today I started replacing the original cube with the first real object in the game: a fridge. Most of the work went into getting the Signed Distance Field (SDF) collider working correctly, since the reentry plasma effect relies on it to collide with the object’s surface instead of passing straight through it.I imported the fridge model, prepared it for Unity, and worked on baking a new SDF that matched its shape. Compared to the simple cube, this was a much better test because the fridge has more detailed geometry, making it a good way to see how well the plasma effect wraps around different objects during reentry.The long-term goal is for every object in the game to have its own mesh, collider, and SDF while still sharing the same reentry system. That means I can eventually swap between things like fridges, pizzas, cars, and other random objects without rebuilding all of the effects each time.Although most of today’s progress happened behind the scenes, it’s an important step toward turning the project into an actual game instead of a simple physics demo. Soon the player will be able to choose what object they want to throw into Earth’s atmosphere and see if it survives the trip.
