FEM flesh rip

[cudarsjanis]

Hi.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with making flesh rip with fem.

Problem that I encounter is that solid objects always are made from tets, and it`s hard to get rid of this edginess.

Any tips how to avoid that and achieve something like Erik Ferguson is making?

 

Here`s how far I am. Few screens and a hip.

Any help/advice appreciated!

Thanks

Some progress. But probably not the right way how to do it.

I scattered points and used vdb from particles to get rid of triangles and get more organic look.

Found this thread:

Basically guy is trying to achieve same thing.

I also tried the offered solution with grains, which worked quite well for slicing to be honest, but it doesn`t work good when something is being stretched.

Any ideas about Erik`s setup would be appreciated.

Thanks

Any tips about achieving this look still would be highly appreciated.

 

Thank you

With a little help from Erik himself, I finally managed to make this effect work for me. Now implementing it into the scene. Thanks a lot Erik!

Here`s the node tree to anyone who`s interested

I don`t have it anymore. But setup is not so complex. Have a look at the screenshot of node tree and give it a go.
