Looks great! You had to use Maya's rbd solver? I am sorry for you pain man.

Thanks.....hehe.....well, I had a few options, but I only had 2 weeks to bang out both shots, so I had to brute force everything. But I surprisingly got good results using Maya's RBD solver. I cheated by using a really low proxy to sim on, then constraint the hi-poly mesh to it once the director approved the final anim. :)

awesome man.i like it.
maya's rigid solver,you used that.haha ...
the animation deformation of the police car is very nice too,how did you do that?

Some call it a hack, but I simmed at a playback speed of .5, and I worked at 48 fps. This allowed me to get more calculations, causing Maya to be less buggy, Geometry cached, deleted every other frame, renamed my cache, re-imported, changed the playback speed to 1, and 24fps. The deformations was done by the animation team.

good job !!
