Maya Tutorial: How To Break A Wall Using Bullet Dynamics

[@__w__o__w__]

Ah, it's a rare treat to find a tutorial that's concise and clear.

[@Ruan3D]

+wow! Thanks for the cool comment!!

[@cpsstudios]

You got that right...had to search multiple vids to get here.

[@Blackshadow164]

Yeah Indian accents are way too confusing and unclear.

[@Asryal]

7 years later, still holds up really nicely. good tutorial!

[@Ruan3D]

Wow thanks - good to hear :) :) That's a long time ago in KZbin years haha.

[@Asryal]

@@Ruan3D haha yeah!

[@JumpManProductions]

Great tutorial, fast and too the point. I’m so tired of just skipping to finding the actual tutorial on some videos. Thank you!

[@joycouple4834]

instead of raising the glue, set the wall to be initially sleeping and you won't have to change the mass of the ball.

[@thegibrangaytan]

Thank you!

[@jonmari9600]

I came back and re did it and it works. your teaching is clear and simple. I look forward to videos like this. Thank you.

[@pasteldoll7274]

Thanks I needed that, didn’t find the exact one but I found one that helped me as well which was the first under FX -> FX

[@Vicky-v1k9p]

Hey what if i delete the wall will the ball go down still because whenever i give anything rigid body it dont go down and i want to ask you something about animation if i am animating a character and it is walking on road but some times his legs go down beyond road so can i not collode the character with plane 😢 please tell me😊

[@VCS101]

nice have a great day for making my day great. (sorry for bad eng, i know a littile bit english)😁

[@buzentanuki]

I just recently started MAYA too and really love playing around with it. Im kinda not into the animation aspect of it... but this plug-in does make things easier I guess. Thanks for making a video on it!

[@ArnoDYD]

What a legend tutorial. Short effective and precise!

[@tralthamidor]

Short and clearly explained. Thanks!

[@Kinkoyaburi]

Very good and fast explanation. What if I need my wall pieces to be realistic shapes, not like sharpened triangles?

[@ShivamThakur-n8g]

thank you sir

[@thatguy2198]

Bruh! It actually worked! Much appreciated

[@travisrassel9978]

Super cool.

[@tarnialoewen7296]

This is excellent so precise and very clear Appreciated

[@yiyanluo2878]

you are amazing

[@WynandLens]

Awesome tutorial, once again!

[@michaelemberton5998]

Brilliant video. Straight to the point. Thanks!

[@recreationbyprince2577]

Thank you so much Tomorrow is my exam of dynamic😅

[@peteyb5150]

short and to the point!

[@jonmari9600]

I like the video but the ball would move straight on the Z axis. It will move up before it hits the wall. I replayed the video but could not figure out what steps I am missing.

[@abhinaymuit912]

nice content. Simple and easily explained but it will be more useful if you had explained the terms like glues ,threshold or why we are using it.

[@Harmzz]

works in practice on Maya 2022, but when i try the same in my project, the shatter object gets hidden, after unhiding, it doesnt do or react to anything.

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

Great video man. Thank you for this.

[@fdlarts7676]

Can someone help me? How do we bake thiss simulation?

[@prabakars3444]

HI.its really an excellent tutorial.I tried it but the wall is not collapsing as it happening for you. When a sphere passes thru only a piece drops and wall still stands as such. Can you help to resolve it please

[@cpsstudios]

Keep it up. Top shelf!

Thx, dude.

Great tutorial...precise and to the point....thank you so much 👍😍

[@danielfenton5144]

Thank you so much!!! Very helpful

[@Sploige]

Is there a way to easily apply materials to the new faces that are created inside the shatter?

[@uttekarlsson3265]

Nice tutorial. Do you know if there is away to re-shatter the pieces without assigning a new material(like blinn) to it? I should like to break some of the pieces into smaller pieces where the ball hits without a plugin or do the ugly workarond.

[@blendtecrocks08]

the balls of your MAYA to not fatally crash over and over when running the shatter...

[@_Zact]

Good tutorial, but seems no matter what I do in Maya 2020, the floor part set as a Passive Rigid Body is ignored and everything falls right through it :(

[@cemi4925]

Very nice keep it up!

[@wondertv1356]

Nice!! Thanks for supplying cool tutorial~

[@yashamsharma8866]

Thanks man. appreciate it :)

[@alpamomo]

Hello I am trying to do just a wall crumbling down like in 4:05. Just that. A do everything the same as you but when I press play there is still a little "explosion" I am trying to simulate a building falling down due to an earthquake so no need for a projectile. What appears to be happening is that the collision shape margin is not working correctly even if I set it to 0.

[@alpamomo]

Ok I found the problem. If I increase the edge jagginess in order to have smoother cuts then the models will be intersecting. Even if I change collision type to hull and the margin to 0 there is going to be a little explosion.

[@kermit8889]

Hi, I am using Maya 2020 and trying to learn Bullet simulation with bullet plugin. How do I move the ball in a specific direction, not purely x/y/z-axis? I mean, I wanted to have an arbitrary direction for my bullet to hit the target. Is there a way to through a ball or bullet to a targeted direction either with initial velocity or with the initial keyframe, please? In simple rigidbody dynamics, I could use on/off dynamic state, but I cannot find that type of option in Bullet plugin. Maybe initial sleeping would do.....just curious. Many thanks

[@danieljameschamberlin1726]

Ok, so I had a question. Is it possible to say import structural drawings, ( say of a building - concrete and steel etc) into maya, then select say another real life object, perhaps a car. Then assigning real world structural specifications to the objects and realistically render how they would collide? Is that possible in Maya?

[@indianeinstein1978]

just awesome awesome ! thankyou

[@chiranjeevak]

hi it's a great, simple one , no waste of time , i found exact one, thank you so much.

[@evelyndantas1581]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. It kind of worked for me, but the ball rebounded off the wall instead passing through it. I'm using maya 2018 educational version. Also, it doesn't have bullet.bundle plug-in, I used bullet.mll and AbcBullet.mll . Not sure if it would replace bullet.bundle though. Do you have any idea why the ball rebounded off the wall? Did someone have the same experience? Help!! Thx!!

[@bettlebug5988]

I am in Maya 2020 and the wall will not stay glued before the object hits. I HATE THAT I CAN NOT FIND A TUTORIAL ON WHAT I IMAGINE. I WISH AUTODESK OR SOMEONE COULD DO WHATEVER IT IS I AM TRYING TO CREATE. I AM SO FRUSTRATED.

[@manishotaval8316]

How to shatter ground and lift up it's chunks in air?

[@zaidoosaim3298]

Awesome Tutorial! When I export the model, the ball moves but the wall is not getting destroyed. Is there anything that I am doing wrong?

[@GamingDrifterGD]

Great tutorial. Have a question. I want to use this process in order to demonstrate a character being thrown into a pillar and the pillar breaking. I have everything setup like your tutorial but the difference is the sphere (I am using a cube) is not using velocity and I have it constrained to the character. So basically there is a block attached to him (will be invisible) and when he is thrown against the pillar the block should react to the breakable part of the pillar and break but it does not. It seems like the velocity needs to be on the block in order for it to work but my character (and the block attached to him) is already animated with motion. Is there a way to make the sphere/cube react with the wall/pillar without adding velocity?

[@GamingDrifterGD]

AH! Nevermind I found it. Just in case anyone is wondering: Under Rigid Body Properties, you have to change Body Type to Kinematic RigidBody.

[@SaleKlar]

it doesnt want to shatter by map... simple, if i select scatter and then shatter it do nothing and shows "// Error: line 6872: Target list was empty or contained no valid targets.". If i select mesh, it shatter it completely, no matter of map at scatter. Its now maya 2020..

[@akshaysarodh7718]

nice tutorial bother......

[@zilla1419]

bruh nothing happens when i put the shatter thing

[@psychopathicmustache]

could this be used with rigged characters

[@Vicky-v1k9p]

its not going down

[@seencapone]

I've never gotten this to work. I set the Collision shape to Hull and the Collision Margin to 0, but the shattered object still flies apart, although less violently. CORRECTION: Leave the Shatter 'Edge Jagginess' parameter set to zero. This seemed to fix it. You'd think Maya would have a proper, native Voronoi Shatter tool as part of its basic toolset by now. And one that retains active procedural history, like C4D does.

[@opshichem9976]

I did ittttt i wanna be pro someday inshallah thank you sir

[@abdulaiman6883]

Can I ask something how to fix my brick always go through the plane

[@SebastianPerezG]

Maya need to improve in this , make use of albitrary destruction based on contact with another object , like RayFire .

thank you so much you were so good.. keep it up...

Thanks!

[@DGFA-]

Hi, the result after the scatter effect is much bigger then the original body. What do I wrong on this?

[@vishwanathsarla566]

Same result I got after shatter effect.. wht To do.

[@vishwanathsarla566]

Decrease the Shard count value less then 80 ..it will wrk

[@kidiny117]

useful

[@GymN3D]

is it possible to set part of a character as bullet?

[@mkprocter882]

maybe best to make an object to mimic the contact of the character and simply hide it visually but have it as a colliding object

[@balask6817]

free download link send me

[@markcoleman441]

Can the wall be substituted by something else? I'm trying to shatter the tie fighter from the Video Co-pilot VC Star Pack, but all it does is make one setion really big and won't shatter.

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

@@Xeronymau5 unfortunately I never did. I’m sure there would be a way to do it.

[@mikeue4729]

Hey, i made Broken house walls (still standing, but with some broken pieces i took out of it) i want to shatter the whole mesh (1 mesh) but it keeps giving me an error, i cleaned the mesh , deleted the history and togled Free Transform but still no luck ... Any idea why i can not shatter more complex meshes ? (Maya 2017)

[@ArchCourt]

Also have this problem, seems to be a bug in Maya from my forum searches. Instead of shatter in Maya, download a plug in called "Pulldownit" much better than shatter and has more options

[@waldquellz3794]

is it possible to export the shattered wall ?

[@Ruan3D]

+waldquellz Yes you can, to which application would you like to export it to?

[@waldquellz3794]

TunnelvizionTV my plan was to texture it with knald and quixel and then import it to unity. i already came to the point where i can export the wanted mesh group but i think im gonna have problems with the UVs. bullet feels a bit unstable since i have to build my simulation new, every time to get the mesh group through deleting histoty. greetz from austria!

You should not include modeling. you should focus on how to break a wall using Bullet dynamics.

[@lameiraangelo]

the wall scales x5 times, after I click "create" in the "Shatter"... Let me go back to Cinema 4D and the Voronoi Fracture... Never mind, overrated MAYA.
