This story of an old ship is part of an art installation by the Finnish artist Jaakko Niemelä that will be shown in the Helsinki Art Museum later this year. An extended version of this film will only be shown there, so it's definitely worth a visit. hamhelsinki.fi

$JT Nelson on Destruction VFX in Open Source: Blender Fracture Modifier Did you ever wonder about the software that is used to make many of the videos on this channel? This talk by our fellow team member JT Nelson at the Southern California Linux Expo may give you some insight.

$Full Dynamic Fracture in Blender Prototype This video shows for the first time a complete system for dynamic shattering and fracturing simulation in Blender. It uses the crack generation approach I revealed in my most recent videos about arbitrary deformed cell fracture. Dynamic means that no precalculation whatsoever like prefracturing or any other kind of preprocessing of the geometry is being done or required. All destruction is performed on the fly during simulation. You can find the older videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkBxXWGE7t8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grrhs7gvcOo http://kostackstudio.de Tags: Blender (Software), collapse, Simulation, Finite Element Method, Abaqus, Xfem, Demolition, fracturing, fracture, shattering, shatter, dynamic, adaptive, engine, bullet, physics, Physics Simulation, Dynamica, Maya, Cinema4d, 3DS Max, MODO, Thinking Particles, Rayfire, non-manifold geometry, mesh topology, watertight mesh, boolean, next-gen fracture, voronoi cells, cell fracture, rigid body simulation, dynamic fracture, adaptive fracture, dynamic shattering, adaptive shattering, VDB fracture$

$Brickify - Bricks, Buildings, Blender, Bullet - 3D Destruction Physics Prototype brick-shape fracture method for Blender Fracture Modifier. Brickify took 3 min to fracture. The 50 steps/s simulation took 5 min to simulate. Doubling the steps count means doubling the simulation time while increasing accuracy. Rendering took 2 days. Enjoy!

$Stanford Bunny tortured in Blender (Arbitrary Deformed Cell Fracture 2) This is a second video about the new fracture method w.i.p. showing off the topology of the generated shard geometry. 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. However, to work efficiently together with rigid body simulation this requires also some improved shape type alongside the classical Convex Hull. Hierarchical Approximate Convex Decomposition (HACD) by Khaled Mamou seems as the way to go.
