Play the simulation in the Maya timeline. Adjust gravity, mass, and friction settings until the physics look photorealistic. Once satisfied, use Pulldownit's built-in tool to the simulation into standard Maya animation data, or export the cache as an Alembic (.abc) file for lighting and rendering. Advanced Tips for Production-Quality Destruction
Connects shattered pieces together structurally, allowing walls to stand until hit by a specific force.
Model or import your target object (e.g., a concrete pillar).
Create a second primitive object (like a sphere), animate it flying directly through the wall, and set it as an or Kinematic Rigid Body . Step 4: Run and Bake
Pulldownit solves this beautifully with its feature: Select the shattered pieces.
While Maya's is capable, PullDownIt offers several distinct advantages for high-end VFX:
