Blender Demolition - Case Study: World Trade Center

Demo video of the development of the Demolition feature for Blender 2.5x/2.6.
The main purpose of this video is to prove the capabilities of my physics system development, if any. It is not intended to prove or disprove 9/11 conspiracy theories. I'm deleting comments that include hate speech, so you better think twice before starting an argument about the reasons of 9/11 here.

This test case scenario needed 10 minutes per frame to calculate geometry deformations and additional 5 minutes to render the image. The test system was an Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition with 3,33 GHz, 12 virtual cores and 12 GB of RAM.

Interesting to see the simulation with all the different variables! Each looked different and none closely resembled the real thing, which itself begs more research. Great effort though, very nice!

@ITr1ckst3rI  wanna know what funny watch an actul live video of it there is no lane retard gg.

Truth is calm. terrorist attack is not a truth.

@ITr1ckst3rI ever think the bombs were built in to the walls when they were built then maintenance crews checked to see if they still live and not duds

[ITr1ckst3rI]

Lol at the people arguing over the fact that the US did it.

Planes hit tower=tower falling.

Terrorist drove the planes. Next thing you know the will be saying Americans were driving the planes.

@kawasakikx250ff the twin towers were designed to withstand planes crashing into it because it was so tall and on the coast, 100's of people witnessed workers coming and going into different parts of the twin towers for a few weeks before it happened and where the plane hit the pentagon they had it evacuated 2 weeks before hand so they could restructure that 1 specific spot to withstand a bomb... setting up a demolition takes less then a month even with a tower as big as the twin towers.

i get it, the events of 9/11 were terrible, but denying the truth won't make it any easier to deal with. by creating elaborate conspiracies you're detracting from the simple awful truth of the event as a coping mechanism. but instead of dealing with reality and facing the horror of the situation, and healing from there, getting deeply involved in a false reality and drawing imaginary connections only amounts to running from reality.

@kawasakikx250ff the only way they could have been taken down is with explosives the designed designed them to be able to widthstand a plane hitting it

[kawasakikx250ff]

lol at the twoofers and all their stupid ass conspiracy theories theirs no way this was takin down by using explosives. im no expert on building demo but this would probably take years to set explosives in each of these buildings and no one would notice or here them drilling in the walls and putting explosives in all the floors and colums

@azi2g

NOT trying to be a patriot. I am trying to be an engineer, and a

FREE MAN, who doesn't run from terrorist attacks by dreaming up

politician conspiracies, controlled demo by invisible NWO Ninjas,

or the various OTHER stupidities that dominate YOUR life.
