But DMM Plugin Now

   Price per Licence: $599.00

Don't just Animate, Simulate!

Create Destruction and Deformation Animations in less time while increasing quality.

Now you can use the same advanced simulation technology that high-end visual effects studios use to bring your artistic creations to life.

The DMM Plug-in is fully integrated with Maya and 3D Studio Max and can take advantage of features such as fields as well as keyed kinematic movement.

Imagine building a character rig that has DMM flesh that moves in response to kinematically driven bones, or a railroad trestle where the timbers flex and crack under the weight of a passing train. Use your imagination to create animations with DMM with subtle effects that are impossible through manual animation or simple fracture/shatter scripts.

Simulation-Driven Animation with DMM is creating a revolution in visual effects. Read what the Moving Picture Company has to say about it here.

To the right, you will find links to Windows versions for Maya and Max. A Linux 64-bit build is also available upon request as is an OS X version (Maya only).

Complete Tutorials with videos and assets are available in our Support area.

Pipeine Integration is also available. Utilizing command line or library versions of the DMM toolchain, you can fully integrate DMM technology into your production pipeline. Please contact us for details.

Examples of how the DMM Plug-In can be exclusively used to create simulation-driven animations. No rigid body or cloth sims were used in any of the examples.

 

  

Cliff House

A wooden shack on a cliff gets destroyed by boulders.

 

  

 

  

Spaceship

A spaceship gets destroyed by asteroids.

 

  

 

  

Crash

A heavy soft body falls onto a wooden beam destroying it. An animated object further destroys the beam, shattering it to tiny pieces.

 

  

 

  

Twist

A wooden pole is twisted in opposite directions at the tips. As it flexes, it eventually reaches a breaking point. The stress built up inside the pole shatters it into pieces which fly and shatter a glass box encasing the pole.

 

  

 

  

Rubber Car

A rubber car is thrown onto a circuit. The wheels of the car are attached through a simple constraint.

 

  

 

  

Trestle

A boulder is given an initial velocity. It then falls on a wooden trestle with metal rails. This is a great example of how multiple materials can interact with each other in a complex simulation. The complexity and nuances of this simulation would be very difficult if not impossible to simulate by hand.

 

  

Spool

A wooden spool is kinematically animated, turning a DMM rope around it. 

  

 

  

Tank in Town

We follow a tank around a city at war. All the destruction is simulated with DMM.
