Re: Exploding fractured mesh

[Fabricio Chamon]

If you are keen to staying in softimage Momentum + implosiaFX should pretty
much serve all your needs. As Simon stated it will be not as stable as
houdini, but I've done some pretty decent setups with it.. some
intermediate ice skills and an understanting of the whole workflow of
momentum is needed, but for the kind of effect you described it should not
be too hard to get started... let me know if you need a hand and I can
create a quick setup here to send you.

Just out of curiosity, do you need the pieces to then fall or fly away?

Using the normal as inital vel?

Re: Exploding fractured mesh

[Simon Reeves]

I did lots of fracturing and deforming (rather than simulated) on a job a
year or so ago in xsi with momentum ice etc. Though I was fairly happy with
the system I had (based on a vimeo video from eric mootz by the way! About
controlling pieces in ICE) really it was pretty buggy and slow, had to be
really delicate with xsi to avoid crashes.

After having used Houdini for a couple of months my life would have been
s much easier in there for that job.
I really haven't found the learning curve as steep as I thought (read
about).
I've used it most of 2016 now, I haven't touched xsi other than modelling
(TODO: learn something not-dead for modelling)

You can forget about those concerns about having to rely on expressions! If
you dont want to have to use expressions all the time avoid Maya not
Houdini :)

Have you tried with Momentum?  Your description sounds like the perfect job

Re: Exploding fractured mesh

[Morten Bartholdy]

It was long ago and I know Houdini has progressed immensely, but from what I 
hear you still have to use expressions a lot, and I am much more a connect 
nodes and click buttons guy. It is awesome what can be done with Houdini, but 
it is just not very userfriendly that you have to remember or keep a repository 
of expressions to get things done.

I wish it they would make an effort to get everything working with their nodes 
so it would just be a matter of connecting them right - how hard would that be, 
since the functionality is there..?

Exploding fractured mesh

[Cristobal Infante]

"To get anything working"

That's simply not true. Yes you can use some expressions here and there,
and some of it is the houdini way. Once you learn expression they make your
life easier. I personally use Evernote to write them down, eventually you
will learn them.

The setup you described can be done with no expressions at all.. Up to you
though ;)

Re: Exploding fractured mesh

[Morten Bartholdy]

Well yes, I am sure Houdini is up to the task, and almost as sure I am not ;-)  
I tried a bit of Houdini tutorial once and quickly got stuck because you have 
to type in expressions here and there to get anything working, and I am just 
not the syntax type.

I actually found that Gustavo Eggert Boehs fine Motion Tools probably can do 
what I want, so I will give that a spin.

This would be very straight forward in houdini, and possibly a good

Exploding fractured mesh

[Morten Bartholdy]

I am trying to put together an effect where I need to explode prefractured 
chunks of geometry from a mesh.

Ideally it should be controllable so I can move a null o an object around and 
start bits flying off away from the original unfractured objects surface along 
the normals.

I Have fractured the bits and used Julian Johnsons excellent Faster Polygon 
Islands operator to generate particles and lock the chunks to the particles. 
This setup works fine in a non simulated tree where I can do nonsimulated 
effects like turbulizing the position of the particles with 
emtool_turbulize_position, but I need to make it simulated, apply some forces, 
and use some sort of inititalizing object for the effect, so it can be animated 
to grow from one place on the geoemtry and spread out over the surface.

I can't really figure out how to take the pointcloud generated by Julians 
emVI_Create Particles from Island Centres and explode the particles. Is there 
perhaps a tutorial somewhere or a different method for attaching geometry to 
particles and simulate them, either just straight forward or as Bullet RBDs?

Thanks.

Have used these guys before for some laser scans of trainers as that other

3d scanning - shoes etc.

[Adam Seeley]

Hi Folks,

Wondered if anyone could recommend a well good pukka 3d scanning company?


I may need a trainer scanned and would like the most useful data I can get
out of it.

Textures/ normals/ displacement etc.


If they can provide post processing like clean-up / material separations it
woudl be good to know as well.

Many thanks,

A.
