[99] [100] It was an honourable mention for "Best Technology" at the 2023 Game Developers Choice Awards. [101] Shacknews named Teardown the best early access game of 2020 and, after its release, the best PC game ...
An aurora is a natural phenomenon. A natural phenomenon is an observable event which is not man-made. Examples include: sunrise, weather, fog, thunder, tornadoes; biological processes, decomposition, germination; physical processes, wave propagation, erosion; tidal flow, and natural disasters such as electromagnetic pulses, volcanic eruptions ...
A particle system is a technique in game physics, motion graphics, and computer graphics that uses many minute sprites, 3D models, or other graphic objects to simulate certain kinds of "fuzzy" phenomena, which are otherwise very hard to reproduce with conventional rendering techniques – usually highly chaotic systems, natural phenomena, or ...
The Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve showcases another natural phenomena that have stumped scientists for decades. A series of dirt mounds up to seven feet high and 40 feet across, occurring in ...

Ice spikes have been reported as a rare natural phenomenon for decades. [3] A model of the mechanism of formation was put forth independently by O. Bally and H.E. Dorsey in the early 20th century and this is still the most widely accepted explanation of the phenomenon today. [4]
Many natural phenomena exhibit some form of statistical self-similarity that can be modeled by fractal surfaces. [2] Moreover, variations in surface texture provide important visual cues to the orientation and slopes of surfaces, and the use of almost self-similar fractal patterns can help create natural looking visual effects.

Impressions of several natural phenomena and the principles of some optical toys have been attributed to persistence of vision. In 1768, Patrick D'Arcy recognised the effect in "the luminous ring that we see by turning a torch quickly, the fire wheels in the fireworks, the flattened spindle shape we see in a vibrating cord, the continuous circle we see in a cogwheel that turns with speed".
