Abstract:
In one sequence of the movie “The Day After Tomorrow”, twisters tear through Los Angeles, causing massive building destruction. Because of the scope of destruction and need for fast turnarounds it was decided not to use practical models or costly rigid and soft body deformations. Instead a versatile system based on procedural animation techniques was developed to handle everything from geometry breakup to destruction animation.
