Some early tests of developed by me destruction engine based of Bullet physics.

really good eye for detail.
How did you handle concave objects in your simulation?

[Farsheed Ashouri]

Really really nice! it's amazing dude.

Looks awsome!!

Awesome stuff, nice renders too. I'd love a detailed tutorial about your workflow.

Very cool, I could watch that stuff all day!

The peek into your process is really interesting, and I agree it would be great to hear more workflow details of how you set up the different elements (brick/stucco/wood) for simulation and render time displacement if you were interested in discussing it.

Have you tried this workflow with Houdini 12 yet?  How do you think the integration of Bullet in Houdini 12 compares to your custom solution?

Awesome work again, almatea - thanks for sharing!

I think that my engine and integration of Bullet in Houdini 12 solving little bit different tasks. Houdini integration of Bullet is very nice but sometimes you need little bit more flexibility at low level and more speed with thousands and thousands pieces of geometry. Houdini solutions give flexibility but not always it mean high speed.
I do not tried to solve destruction tasks with Houdini's Bullet but I believe that it will be possible.

very impressive stuff, it reminds me of some of the tools used to create 2012,
If I remember correctly they used prefracturing and lots of constraints and created similar destruction sequences.

amazing work keep it up

I choose little bit different way. I used compounds and calculated a graph of linking for pieces instead natural constrains.

terrific job. Regarding lighting, what can you tell us...I´m guessing HDRI-based lighting, right?
