Geneva-based Pixelux have made available a beta version of their upcoming DMM plugin for Max. The new plugin allows users to shatter walls, bend steel and splinter wood by simulating realistic materials and physics that allow for deformation, breaking of objects, and other interactions. LucasArts used Pixelux’s DMM technology in the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Check out some sample videos and find out more at Pixelux.
