The "BCB" structural simulation software has been developed at the Laurea University of Applied Sciences, Finland. Written within the scope of EU Inachus FP7 Project (607522): Technological and Methodological Solutions for Integrated Wide Area Situation Awareness and Survivor Localisation to Support Search and Rescue (USaR) Teams

$Prototype Fracture Engine for Arbitrary Deformed Cells in Blender Blenders demolition guy and the fracture guy put some thoughts together as we wanted to get rid of the unnatural look of Voronoi cell fracturing. So I came up with a prototype implementation you can see in this video. All objects shown in this video are solid and watertight, they do not include any non-manifold geometry, and there are also no air bubbles as the shards fit together perfectly. Good to go for rigid body simulation. But this is only the first step... Stay tuned. http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?343637-Custom-Build-Blender-Fracture-Modifier$
