Physics test (Tower Implosion)

this is a large scale phisics test i did
i dident do it as an animation because im trying to create a way to get reandom debri and destruction in still pics like when a car crashes and the parts fly all over or when a building falls downhttp://img164.imageshack.us/img164/2661/towerfallwo6.jpg

Looks good. Like a jenga tower.

I wonder if there’s a way to use the results to make stretching steel… like, when the verticle ones seperate it affects another single mesh that stretches like steel over them… then a little more debris and it would be awesome!

edit:
looking some more:
I think for glass breaking you could combine two ways:

  1. particles at top where it’s all broken up
  2. cracked windows (use knife tool + textures) on the bottom up,

I think you could make an awesome image this way.

Hey that looks good.

I have had great luck with using soft-bodies to simulate the ductile qualities of steel.
I cut the mesh into whatever pieces (or I just combine several object) and then set the simulation so it’s really stiff. This ends up looking like bending metal.

Anyways, nice pic!
