Old Video, New Physics: Pickup Destruction Simulation Dev Reel #BCB #8K

This is not GTA 6 but a development reel for a complex car simulation made in Blender. The model is based on the actual construction design FEM model (LS-DYNA) of that car and it is simulated with the Bullet Constraints Builder (BCB) + Fracture Modifier (FM) physics tools.

The BCB is a structural simulation software developed for building collapse simulations and this is the first time it is used to simulate a vehicle. The goal is to make vehicle simulations more realistic by using real world parameters and by simulating every piece of the car physically.

Having said that and before you ask, this is not a game. Perhaps GTA X will support this in 20 years but current hardware is not there yet, sorry. :)

Some stats for nerds:
Car - 1.8m triangles in 3k elements connected with 100k constraints
Simulation time - 8 sec. per frame (32 min. per 10 sec. simulation time)
Render time - It's just OpenGL, 1 sec. per frame

It hits different when you've been doing the same thing in BeamNG for years.

[MemeBurger]

although beamng is more realistic, i love how large parts of the car can tear into smaller pieces and not just stretch

[CHFafard]

God, has it really been 10 years? Back when I subbed you guys were KaiKostack

Although BeamNG is overall more realistic, this has the one thing that BeamNG is lacking... the ability for every part to break into many separate parts. I get that this is a rendering, and BeamNG is real time, but I feel like they could have parts break into at least 2 or 3 pieces.

No way i binge watched so many of these kind of video's when i was hyped and starved for beamng content. This one really stuck with me. Grand to see it remastered.

This looks a bit weird actually. Cars typically bend and crush from impact, not tear and crumble.

[kentll]

Its crazy when there's already a game like this that does everything in the video but in real time.

This is just 10% of the final beamng drive

[ly_]

This mixed with beamng drive would be incredible with the beamng's flexibility and this kind of breaking apart thing

[AWLab]

glad to see you active again, i remember watching you in 2013 and tbh i loved your videos back then :)

[thinhnguyenduy]

It is always satisfying to watch these kind of physic sim vids, keep up man

[AndyHappyGuy]

I remember watching this video when I was 5. Now I’m 14!

From what I´m seeing only thing missing is some sort of elasticity, which already may be there but still. Maybe letting metals stretch a bit before breaking, instead of instantly crumbling would give a better result since metals are pretty malleable. That is why BeamNG probably looks better, because it not ripping apart is more expected than fully crumbling.
Other than that, this is amazing, and a great step forward!

Looks really good, keep up the work on the car simulation !

[McBeamer]

It's the first time I'm ever watching this video and two things are for sure: first, with the obvious exception of the great technological advancements in the meantime - shown here for the crash model -, this video doesn't at all show its 10 years of age (as some comments have already pointed out 😋) and second, if I'd watched this video back then for the first time, I'd sure as heck want to see a car simulator based on such a rendering. And now, 10 years later, there is one (and only one) car sim: BeamNG drive! 💗
This video is just amazing! Blender truly pioneered the way for detailed building and destruction of things! 😎🤘💗

[thecatabouttochangethename]

I remember the old times when I watched you nowadays this graphics are so good!

[simulateddestruction]

Looks very cool and was satisfying to see for me! Thanks for sharing

[thehellezell]

I liked the first one too, it was like if the truck left the factory with no rivets or bolts to hold it together :)

[raimbow]

Now we need a video game with those physics

[StaredownGames]

Imagine a game where you can find old farm trucks and restore/rebuild them for different events. Off road, car shows etc.
