Please read the announcement on DMM 2016. We are excited to make it finally available to everyone.
Greetings, I thought I would keep everyone posted on progress. We've had a number of other projects that have delayed the plugin release. Some are relevant - like making some improvements to the DMM simulator to allow it to handle larger meshes, and others are longer-term - a cloud version of DMM. The new plugin will have material regions too. This will let you define multiple materials on a single object. It's a feature that is available in our API - ...

Assuming that is OK, it is possible that netgen has created a bad inner tet. You can adjust that by slightly varying the ...
Hi Everyone, OTOY will be adding DMM to their cloud system. This will allow anyone who is using the OTOY pipeline to simulate and render high-end destruction directly in the OTOY cloud. We are all very excited about this! More details here: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41634 -Vik

Michael also worked on the DMM bridge destruction shot for "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". -Vik
