Some 'small' research project I've been onto lately.

Glass fracture dynamics has always been fascinating for me and it took me some time and effort to come with these results.

This is the first video of the FEM Cracks series. I'll be publishing more in the upcoming weeks.
Edit: second video:    • Thin FEM for physical cracks propagat...  

Glass simulation is done in a proprietary developed FEM solver. Secondaries simulated in Houdini 19.5. Redshift 3.5 for renders and Nuke for compositing.
