Unreal Development Kit PhysX Based Fracture Test Shows Completely Destructible Environment

raven67854 has made a pretty cool fully destructible PhysX based level using the recently released Unreal Development Kit. Everything in the level is completely destructible, from the floors to walls. Using the Link Gun , raven67854 shows how you can blow through walls and makes holes in pretty much anything. Just imagine when real games or mods really start to implement stuff like this it will no doubt change the way we play video games and bring some new and interesting types of gameplay.

Simple Fracture Test I made in the Unreal Development Kit. Took me awhile to figure out how use the fracture tool due to the limited documentation.

Ok Im testing this on a slow computer, after tweaking with the fracture props an etc, i found a way to increase the FPS was by changing the static mesh properties from a 32 lightmap to a 16, an helped smooth out the FPS a fare bit… Also working with default collision that comes with UDK Fracture objects are solid until there is a big enough hole to go through, going by mostly per poly collision. This was made in 3dmax v9 an imported into UDK no collision meshes included.. I would still like to improve this scene with some type of physics so the bottom floor gives way then the whole building will crumble. so far i simply just added a non fracture base mesh for the structure of the building to avoid a floating building if u were to take out the whole bottom floor.
