Skybound Simulator

I’ve always loved gaming. It’s been a constant passion, fueling my creativity and curiosity. But this time, I didn’t just want to play a game—I wanted to make one. When the Instructables Make It Fly contest was announced, I saw an opportunity not just to animate a plane but to build a game centered around flying. It would be a proof of concept—a challenge to see if I could turn my vision into reality.

I set myself a strict goal: to complete everything in less than 24 hours. That meant designing the plane from scratch, animating it, and coding the game—all within a single day. The catch? I had never used Blender to make animations, and I’d never worked on a project quite like this before. But the challenge excited me, and I decided to go for it.

I used this software to make my fusion real

1. Fusion 360 - you can download Fusion 360 from the HERE
2. Blender - you can download Blender from the HERE
3. Livit Studio - you can download Livit Studio from the HERE

I used Fusion 360 to make and design the plane, and I used Blender to make the animation of the plane, and I used Livit Studio to make the simulation of the game and mechanics

The first step was creating the plane. Armed with Fusion 360, I dived into the digital forge. Every line, curve, and joint was meticulously crafted to ensure both beauty and functionality. The fuselage was sleek yet sturdy, wings broad yet aerodynamic, and the propeller—the beating heart of the plane—designed with precision.

Hours turned into minutes as the design evolved, guided by both intuition and the laws of physics. Fusion 360’s tools allowed me to visualize every aspect, from the internal structure to the smallest details. By the time I was done, the plane was more than a model; it was a work of art waiting to come to life.

To make it easy if the video is to fast I recommend seeing this tutorial on how to make the plane, this guy was awesome and described every detail he made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLY49TlCMwQ&t=1590s

Animating the plane was uncharted territory for me. Blender—a software I had barely touched before—became my canvas. I focused on animating the propeller—the soul of flight. Each spin was carefully keyframed, and every movement calibrated to match real-world physics.

The propeller spun faster, creating a mesmerizing blur. The plane wasn’t just moving; it was alive, ready to cut through the skies. Watching it animated for the first time felt like a small piece of magic had been conjured.

With the design complete and animation ready, it was time to simulate its flight and build the game around it. Livit Studio became the hub of coding and simulation, where the virtual plane transformed into a pilotable wonder.

Writing the code was an adventure of its own. Each line was like weaving a spell, commanding the plane to respond to input, adjust for virtual wind resistance, and glide gracefully. Testing the simulation was thrilling; it felt as though I was truly flying my creation.

to see the ability of Livit Studio to make games not just on PC but also on VR I recommend seeing these playlists that describe Livit Studio https://www.youtube.com/@livitstudio1475

The coding was simple I just began my scene and Import the file that I made in Blender to make the animation

1. I altered the Environment of the scene
2. I Tested the animation of the plane
3. I applied physics on the plane
4. I made a code that takes the input control of the keyboard and transfers it to actions

Here is a link to the full game file source just install Livit Studio and import the game Click ME

I made many more mechanics and capabilities for the game as a real simulator, such as the landing and flight mechanism, the system that gives you messages, sounds

and I wanted to make cool effects such as explosion but I will iterate that in the next version so stay toned

Here is a link to play the Game Click ME just download the files and import the project on XR-Livit Studio and have fun
