foldable=makable

This looks amazing - I haven't had a chance to test it yet, so if someone gets there first then it would be good to see some results...it looks from this picture like it is not just for tensile structures...

fib is a cloth and sheet simulator whose goal is to aid the conceptual realization of tensile structures and support experimentation wih free-form structures in general. In fib, form creation is based on the manipulation of a surface in 3-dimensional space, which conforms to geometrical constraints of real world cloth or sheet materials.
In fib, the flexible surface is modeled as a 2-D isostatic frame, represented by nodes and springs between nodes. Nodes can be moved and fixed to any position. The model reacts to interaction by adapting to loads applied by the user, in order to maintain its integrity. The physics solver is based on an implementation of the Verlet Integration Method.

fib uses the peasycam library for nice camera manipulation.
fib is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
