A video by MOAB shows a method for faking a FEM solver in Max using MParticles (Box #2 with MP Glue). The artist is also working on a tool to tetrahedralize meshes, for use with this method. Watch the video on Vimeo.

How cool! Awesome!
This is very impressive. the VBR mesher in itself looks very useful for all sorts of other simulation based things.
Nice R&Ds by this artist…secondary fragmentation script for mParticles is a great tool too (visit the vimeo channel).
