Virtual Prototyping is one of the most important steps in the development of a

Learn to Destroy Buildings with Pulldownit for Maya

Ever wanted to destroy a building? Well make your dreams come true with
Pulldownit 2.5 for Maya. Pulldownit is a dynamics solver which allows for the
creation of fractures as well as massive rigid bodies simulation. By using its
technology, digital artists are able to simulate the collapse of buildings
quickly and easily, cracking surfaces and/or fracturing any kind of brittle
material. I highly suggest adding it to your arsenal of Maya weapons.
