Fixed PDI cache not cleared when animating crackers speed along a curve.Fixed wrong warning message when creating fracture body with animated parent.Fixed change static fragments to dynamic left them at 0 hardness.Fixed Maya slow down hugly when update stresses vertex colors.Fixed disabled fracture body doesnt improve performance noticably.Fixed huge slow down when cleaning PDI scenes before new scene/open scene.Fixed crackers trigger 'activate at first hit' fbodies event.Fixed force fields can break completely clusters regardless of its hardness.New Add Particles option 'visible faces only'.Stresses view 'break at frame' clusters are now displayed in green color.Create fracture cluster is now an almost instant operation.Jagginess applies to broken fragments only.New ability to exclude part of the curve in Shatter it Draft Mode.New Extent parameter for Shatter it tool.New option to update Cracker Path when user changes reference curve.New ability to reverse Cracker direction.PDI Fracture solver gets more debris in areas nearby impact objects.Version: 5.0 for Maya Release date: Enhancements In addition, animated objects and characters are able to interact with the simulated ones. You can also tweak parameters and resume simulation at any frame. It allows you to reset the simulation and start again as many as needed. It catches the geometry from the viewports and computes the final result as animation keys. Pulldownit is currently integrated in Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya. Easy setup and powerful stress tools allow for control in the creation of cracks and drive the simulation to the desired end. By using it, digital artists are able to simulate the collapse of structures or terrain cracking in minutes. The technology of fracture inside Pulldownit allows you to fracture any kind of brittle material like stone, glass or stucco. This tool's technology allows you to pre-cut a 3D model into hundred of shards in seconds in addition, the fragments generated plug easily in the Pulldownit solver to perform simulation in a fast and stable way. It is Voronoi-based because this scheme has showed to be the best mathematical pattern for brittle fracture. Shatter It! is a pre-cutting tool that is able to generate jaggy fragments, much more realistic than classic polygonal fragments. By using its technology digital artists are able to simulate fast and easily the collapse of buildings, cracking surfaces or fracturing any kind of brittle material. Pulldownit is a dynamics solver which allows for the creation of fractures as well as massive rigid bodies simulations.
