Hello, All

I am interested in destructing steel structure and I need to get some ideas from you guys.

When a steel tower, for example, get hit by something strong, it should get bent and teared, and collapsed eventually.

Is cloth simulation the way to do it? I saw the Masterclass Crumpling and Tearing and wonder if this can apply to what I want to achieve.


Sincerely,

David

you should also look into the wire DOPs + wire deformer

I think cloth is a good try. You need to turn on Plasticity. Houdini's cloth solver was used on the crumpling Eiffel tower effect on GI Joe a few years back.
