Title:

    SimpleBullet: collaborating on a modular destruction toolkit

Presenter(s)/Author(s):


Abstract:


    This talk discusses the SimpleBullet destruction system that was initially developed at Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), and then subsequently adopted and extended by Walt Disney Animation Studios (WDAS) and Pixar Animation Studios (Pixar). SimpleBullet is a set of HDAs and compiled plugins, built on top of SideFX’s Bullet DOPs, along with modifications to the open source Bullet rigid body solver. We discuss the toolset as a whole, as well as pipeline integration efforts and extensions made by WDAS and Pixar.
