Animating Dynamic Destruction in Maya for Unreal
Learn the methods for creating dynamic destruction in both Maya - and UDK using physics simulations!
Description
This tutorial explores methods for creating dynamic destruction in both Maya and UDK. Inside of Maya, you'll bake rigid-body dynamic-systems simulations, and then learn how to import them into UDK. Also, using UDK's fracture, you will learn how to create real-time destruction environments.
