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?

Need to append for your question. Yesterday I tried native tools of Houdini 12 and it was look good. Constrain network tool is very similar to an my graph of connectivity (but I constructed this graph with help of Bullet collision test functions).
There is small trouble with lost impulse after breaking a piece to 2 piece - then each of small pieces lost their speed but I slove this moment with DOP trick.

I think it is possible to use native Houdini 12 tools as good destruction engine!

Amazing stuff!
Can you provide some info about displacement shader?
I really have no idea how to build similar thing.

You need displace for only one plane. For example, this may be plane of wall or plane of some wood-plank. Also it is necessary to correct texture coordinates with respect for displacement.

Thank you!
This info explains everything

That was really sweet! I love the level of detail. I am just learning how to do destruction with Houdini 11. I have tried having the fractured RBD geo interacting with the dust cloud however the simulation freezes up. How did you handle the dust clouds?

Just bake SDF for all solid objects. I believe you can find a lot of examples in help system or ths forum threads.

Hey Vladislav,
Great tool!

..About the lost impulse on breaking glue objects in H12: Would you mind sharing your dop trick on how to make it work?

[freaq]

loving this stuff so much, amazing work, nothing short of breathtaking!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa  One of the best

Hey,almetea,very nice work.Here is my file for displacement test on specific direction,say world x,could you give some suggestion.
