The DMM Plugin for Maya allows you to do high quality finite-element-based destruction right inside of Maya. Control your physical reality by changing plasticity, toughness, shape preservation and many other physically simulated parameters. Imagine building a character rig that has DMM flesh that moves in response to kinematically driven bones, or a railroad trestle where the timbers flex and crack under the weight of a passing train. Use your imagination to create animations with DMM with subtle effects that are impossible through manual animation or simple fracture/shatter scripts. Simulation-Driven Animation with DMM is creating a revolution in visual effects.
With over 30 feature films using DMM for key destruction shots ranging from the destruction of entire cities to intricate fracture of a bullet going through a tree, DMM is well-suited for whatever you throw at it. See what fxGuide has to say about DMM in this article. To the right, you will find links to full-featured versions of the DMM Plugin. These versions are limited in the number of tetrahedra you can simulate, but are otherwise fully functional. You can upgrade to the unlimited version with no simulation limits for only $499. Just click on the Paypal link above to purchase. Pipeine Integration of DMM is also available. Utilizing command line or library versions of the DMM toolchain, DMM Technology can be fully integrated into your production pipeline.

They're shooting at the end of the month, so I have a little bit of time to prep and figure it all out, but I'm hellbent on getting the process and theory down before it's go-time for post.Michael has used DMM for spectacular VFX destruction in movies like "A Good Day to Die Hard", "Red 2", "Man of Steel" and "Warm Bodies". The wall must go from a solid state to having cracks and fractures appear and expand upon each impact of the actor's fist, until it eventually crumbles to expose the outside.ĭoes anyone know of a trick to get this effect? I'm positive that there's a procedure or plugin or whatever for this, but I obviously have no idea what it would be. But I'm not too sure that I'm going to achieve the best result from my current mindset about it. Now, I can model, constrain, and destroy stuff with RigidBodies and nCloth, PullDownIt, etc.
The actor will be striking the wall a few times (on greenscreen, I believe), and the wall will have to be effected on each strike. I've been signed on to a short film to simulate a concrete wall being gradually punched through.
