Hey, i am trying to set up a building destruction in houdini, which will consist of a concrete building with exterior walkways and hand railings attached.
At this stage i pretty much have the concrete part of the destruction completed using RBD and clusters however, now i want to have to sim the wooden railings buckling with the floor at one end and then pulling down the rest of the railings as you would expect from a connected set of pieces.
When i used to use thinking particles i would probably have used a joint system to link the railing pieces together but im not sure what Houdini uses instead, i have tried several times with the glue constraints but they just seem to fail...
What do you think would be the best way to do this?
