Just a collapse test using ICE.

1. Pre-shatter the head using "XSI Shatter v4" plugin by Michele. Make a group of the fragments.

2. Create an empty point cloud.

3. Create a non-simmed ICE tree and bring in the "Emit SRT matched instances" ICE compound by Andy.

4. Supply the fragments group to this compound and tweak the collision size, etc.

5. Create a simmed ICE tree on the same point cloud and add Simulate Rigid Body node plus some forces like gravity.

6. Playback.


The whole destruction is divided into 4 to 5 separated simulations so that they start to collapse on different timing. Thus no interaction each other between the simulations.

Hmmm, not very good.... I want Volume Breaker for XSI....! Please Cebas!
