RUINS is a shatter plug-in for maya , Very quickly and can be precision shatter.In maya, solid shatter It is very difficult to solve, moreover is very slowly,So I developed a new plug-in ruins;

      Ruins 3.0 can support CUDA and physX accelerated.... New UI and can use field to drived rigid body.

InitPosition: The Rigid body initial position.

InitRotate : The Rigid body initial rotate.

LinearVelocity: Designated Rigid body speed and direction.

velocityDamping: The damping when Rigid body solver.

AngularVelocity: The Rigid body angular velocity.

AngularDamping: The damping when Rigid body roate.

Mass: Set Rigid body mass, If some objects bounce very high, please reduce the mass.

Sleep: Put to Rigid body to sleep.... mean static.

wakeUP: wake up Rigid body when sleep. It works when set sleep "on" .

InheritField :
      a) default: if connect field to drive rigid body ,Please keep the default..
      b) inherit: Please keep the default..Will be automatically converted.
      c) setKey: if you want use field to drive rigid body , but hope individual objects themselves manual control
                    1)start:Specify the initial time to start solver .
                    2)end: Specified period of time that it stopped.

TIP: Rigid body can't support Scale!!

If you want to Shatter many debris, you need CUDA accelerated .
you must have nvidia Geforce 8800 or quadro FX 4800 and 512M display memory above, if youhave 512M display memory ,
but In fact only 350M memory can use about.

Test your graphics card if support cuda :

windows 32:
getCardInfo

Multi- field:

CUDA column:
debris: Debris looks more natural: The debris limit in 27, avoid too many fragments and too average .
Speed increased 50% than Ruins 1.5.

UniteUV: Unified UV When you use precision shatter or random shatter.
IF you enable UniteUV, the setMaterial button will be unable.
mean debrisiInSideSG only mapping 3d textures.
( More details please refer Ruins 1.5 ).


Density :debris subdivide.

Noise : derbris smoothness.

chua shatter: support very complex model shatter: downlaod demo: 10000 triangle shatter
The memory bandwidth decides your speed. 10000 triangle need 250M memory on you graphics card.



CUDA Material :When you complete all the debris after click this button!


shatter normal:

debrisiInSideSG only mapping 3d textures.

preview: open debris and to observe.

retrun : return to initial position.

split W and use side:
debris Noise: 0.4 -0.6; division levels : 5;




High resolution version download: precision shatter


division levels : Control mesh density, Minimum of 3；

debris Noise: shatter depth, value max, Minimum of －1, Maximum of 1;

rand seed : change rand value;

recursion: shatter again; shatter helix:

Unlimited Shatter: Demo video:
High resolution version download: Unlimited Shatter


UV:
When you create debris is complete, If you need to mapping debris , please click the setMaterial button, Will be automatically allocated uv:( cudaMaterial have priority! )

Support System platform:
Windows:
maya 2011 x64; maya 2011 x86;
maya 2010 x64; maya 2010 x86;
maya 2009 x64; maya 2009 x86;
maya 2008 x64; maya 2008 x86;

Linux:
maya 2011 x64;
maya 2010 x64;
maya 2009 x64;
maya 2008 x64;

MAC:
maya 2011 ;
maya 2010 ;
maya 2009 ;
MAC version can't support CUDA, beacuse more people use ATI card.. Linux and Mac use bullet engine.
