"No animals were harmed..."

I was seriously not expecting that armadillo to just burst apart

[@ramcga]

pretty slick results!!! Wondering what are the sim times?

[@chucktrier]

That is pretty insane. Great work. Can it be used interactively for small tetra meshes?

[@mven]

2:08 the surface seems to clip into itself, so this method doesn't account for self-collision?

2:00 If Quicksilver or The Flash was to have a bad day, weaving through crowds,

[@younghsiang2509]

Must be using some adaptive mesh methods?

[@jazzed07]

No. It's XFEM which requires no remeshing.

[@mothtolias]

@@jazzed07 do you have a source? because that goes against every rule of models I know

[@metanumia]

Someone please make a surgery simulator PC game using this technology in real time! :)

[@ac_nero]

Graphic.

[@mothtolias]

no!!! stop hurting the rabbits!!!
