OVERVIEW
A large scale destruction project where a UFO swoops in and destroys a lonely farmhouse.
​
For this project I contributed the UFO model and the destruction tool. The purpose of this tool was to optimize simulation time and increase control over the shape and behavior of the fracture.
Creating Strength Levels
Based on the groups the connected pieces are assigned a strength level that determines the fracture shape.
CREATING FRACTURE GROUPs
Post fracture, pieces are put into chunk groups of large, medium large, medium small, and small. The groups are placed onto the points using an array.
Assigning Strength Value
Based on the strength level the connected pieces are assigned a strength value that increases exponentially with each level
BREAKING CONSTRAINTS VS STENGTH LEVEL
SOP
NETWORK
Measuring Acceleration
Force and mass is brought into the SOP and used to calculate acceleration.

Updating
Strain
The acceleration is used to project the position and create strain.
Breaking Constraints
The strain is then compared against the strength level to break the constraints.
FORCE CURVE
A force curve was added to create a more interesting destruction pattern.
