Read a full list of new features in Pulldownit for Maya in the online changelog. Updated 6 February : Thinkinetic has released Pulldownit 4. New dynamics features include the option to generate secondary cracks on a per-fragment basis and to recompute the trajectories of fragments after their motion has been baked.īaking is also now done as a background process, which should speed up workflow on large simulations. New shattering features include the option to shatter individual fragments of previously baked fracture systems, with the shards inheriting the motion of the original fragment. Despite the version numbering, there is no stable 4. Updated 18 October : Thinkinetic has released Pulldownit 4. There are several bugfixes and updates to existing tools, which you can find in the online changelog. In addition, users can set fractures to propagate through geometry only at a given frame of an animation, making it easier to control simulation timing.

Workflow improvements include the option to animate a number of key parameters for fracture bodies and rigid bodies, including Friction and Bouciness, providing finer control over simulations. Performance and workflow improvements The solver code has also been optimised, leading to a 3x speed boost with high-poly deforming meshes. It works on a per-material basis, making it possible to emit dust or debris only from the broken inner faces in a simulation, removing the need to paint an emission map manually in another DCC tool. Add dust to destruction sims by emitting nParticles from fracture geometry The main new feature in Pulldownit 4. The update adds a new tool for emitting particles from faces on geometry on a per-material basis, helping to simulate dust and debris and improves performance when working with high-poly animated meshes.
