Blender Demolition - Case Study: World Trade Center (slowed down)

[zapper1998]

Nice simulation, I have the same cpu and Gigabyte mb, 24 gig ram, trying to set it up with Lightwave 11 and the Bullet Simulation.

Are all your objects on seperate layers, rigid bodies i mean, I built a 3d model of the towers years ago, and now LW 11 has bullet Dynamics, I am trying to do the same thing..

The Bullet Dynamics is awesome with the 12 threads...will figure it out soon enough..

Great video... :)

@zapper1998 I didn't use Bullet dynamics nor some kind of rigid body system, this simulation is based on an extension for the soft body system of Blender. I don't know if Lightwave has something comparable today, though.

@KaiKostack any chance of some more wtc sims?

[KaiKostack]

@aSASa45454 Maybe later. I had some ideas but currently other projects have priority over this.

Ok.What exactly am I looking at here?A demolition or a collapse.If its a collapse,how is it calculated and what is the initiation point.And where is the rest of the building?

Thanks

U LIAR!!! Your CPU doesn't have 12 cores, it has only 6, I checked from ark.intel .com

[KaiKostack]

@xrayfishx That's why I wrote "virtual cores". Because of multithreading it's nearly as effective as an 12 core CPU. :)

[xrayfishx]

@KaiKostack Is it the same as having 12 core 3.33 GHz, or a 12 core 1.665 GHz processor?

[KaiKostack]

@xrayfishx The former, 12 x 3.33 GHz.

[xrayfishx]

@KaiKostack So why do they need 6 cores anyway? Why not just 1 core 12 thread?

[KaiKostack]

@xrayfishx lol. It's not that simple. Google for Hyper-Threading Technology and you'll find answers.

That's the problem, nbednar. Lots of idiots look at what happened and realized just what you said. When you do some thinking and research, you find that the only way that makes complete sense and matches the evidence is that planes flew into two towers, causing them to collapse, and damaging a third enough that it too collapsed after it burned for several hours.

[SayNoToTheism]

@b1c1jones But then why did the owner of building 7 say in an interview not long after that he agreed the building should be pulled and then him and his associates watched it come down?

[nbednar]

Loose Change came out ten years ago and although it had some tidbits of interesting things in it, wasn't nearly as informative as information available today. The problem many people have with 911 is the inability to accept that their government would even be capable of lying to them. Sad. Any idiot can watch all three towers collapse an realize it required more than some jet fuel and a few broken beams to fall the way they did. It's just a paradigm shift, get out of your safe little box.

[nbednar]

I wonder if that top portion falls at the acceleration of gravity? Probably not because the floors underneath are providing resistance. (Unlike the actual WTC)

[endimion17]

@nbednar Why are you dumbasses spamming with these lies? The towers DID NOT fall even near the free fall speed. It is a stupid myth.

watch?v=qLShZOvxVe4

You just heard the myth and saw that stupid Loose Change movie (did you know it was meant to be fiction?) and now you're an engineer. Bravo...

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
