How to simulate a car crash in blender 

Glad to hear we will be getting more frequent uploads. Your destruction tutorials are the best.

great tutorial! Although I have a problem when I separate the windows from the car to explode them it removes the baked soft body simulation. do you know why this is happening?? thanks in advance!

you're destruction tutorials are fr just the best!

Hello! Thank you very much for this lesson! I have been wanting to try to test physics in a blender for a very long time (with the help of this scene) and now I saw this video! I am very glad!!!

Wow that's great!!! I like how the metal bends hard then bounces and wobbles..... Just like those crash test videos 🔥🔥🔥🙏👍🏼

Good job! Also, It’s the best feeling ever hearing my music in your videos :)

Legend!! is back with another masterpiece!!!

Wow.. Very great work! Thank you! So much work was done for us.

this is a topic searched by every blender user so i believe this is gonna blow up

Wow! Very nice tutorial! Should try that!

I've been looking everywhere for a good car crash simulator yet the best one.... thank you

ur so underrated.. u reply to every comment ive seen heaps of people just ignore there comments! u deserve more subs :D

Wow nice tutorial. Could you make a second part of this movie where it runs in to wood fence or barn?

Thank you for your effort, please leave the next part more complete.

Awesome techiniques in this tutorial, thanks a lot! I never know of the power of the surface deform modifier! By the way, you can use L to select all verticles that are connected to the selected verticle (in stead of using the 'select more' option).

thank you bro great and easy to follow video

Great work broo

i hit the like button before the intro was even finished.

🤯 Great Job!

This looks good but some suggestions The metal ( or the outer part of the car ) should be more stiff (it should stay in the deformed postion ) . Reduce the number of glass particles ( car glass is tempered) metal particles would be good , also sperate some parts (like wheels or door or mirrors )of the car and add rigid body physics. Car needs more weight, it looks a bit like its floating . Smoke looks a bit weird .

This is hella sick. My only suggestion is to increase the gravity on everything. By default, it's set too low - setting it to about 7 works well for me.

Extraordinary. Thanks.

haha, when I saw that simulation the first time I was very impressed. Thanks for the help. But I think I need more knowledge in blender physics first...

Great job!

Super impressive!

Pro keep it up 💚 great job as always 💚

Thanks a lot for this video. Really helpfull!

Very Good!

any time I set the pull and push to ".99", my car vanishes once the soft body sim begins. 😨 edit: i solved this issue by finding the perfect setting for my model (.98)

Excellent, subscribed

WOW😁 Really cool👍👍👍

Could you show material compression/decompression? Like meteor strike at the ground, ground compresses into crater then bounce back a bit as particles fly off. That would be pretty cool, I think :) Tack for the tutorials, one day I will learn... ;)

Amazing 👌

thanks for this!!!

good tutorial

Love this one :)

Fantastic! Where did you get the sound effects for the crash? I think that really nailed it.

15:31 Hmm... The roof of the car bends like a pillow. Nice tutorial.

Its a great video. thanks for sharing. Btw after applied the soft body keyframes, , the car body sinking to the plane? can you tell whats the wrong in it

How would you go about rigging turning wheels to setup like this? Had some issue rotating them due to the pivot point changing the moment when the car hits

clap, clap, clap. SUPERB!!

thank you

tengo un problema, al modificar la plasticidad, y volvera ver los resultados, el auto desaparece en el frame 40. que puedo hacer?

you are perfect

VERY SWAG MUCH WOW

More please 🥺

If my model is drawn by Rhinoceros to export OBJ or STL. They are all triangular meshes, so that my graphics can still be animated using the methods in the tutorial?

Adding .99 Push / Pull values will make the object disappear. Having scale applied to the deform mesh. Only if I lower the values to .5 or around .6 the mesh continues to exist Update; Seems we have to be quite conservative with the density of the deforming mesh, lowering the resolution solved the issue

Now I need to learn to do this in unreal engine 5 lol

Superb epic

Any ideas, on spinnig wheels ? I am struggling with car crash in blender too ;) Good job!

Cool... 👍👍👍

the car looks super floppy tho. I probably wont ever use this for a car scene but you gave me an idea that I can use for something else :)

this is a god dayum alternative to beamng

I'm on blender 4.0 and my animation is running on 1 or 2 fps and even crashing when I apply soft body to my mesh, My specs are: Intel core i5 10th gen Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6gb vram Ram: 16gb Virtual memory:9924 mb Windows 11 pro I'm relatively new to Blender so any help with settings, would be appreciated. Thankyou.

i tried to put some models on to blender but it will only show an photo with the car

nice

I followed this to a T and I cant get mine to work. I set up the deform object, soft body, keyframe, and strength, but the vehicle does nothing. Just goes from one keyframe to the next and stops.

ive been stuck on the first stage for so long finding a good car whelp

have you used a soft bosy simulation - in order to achieve that special effect?

I gotta ask, why did you decide to choose soft body over rigid body? The car suffers from squishiness :) when a car crashes, it generally keeps its form based on the point of impact and how much force has been applied. For example, where your car is hitting the box at the front, most likely the back end of the car would be mostly fine, and even the rear windshield and rear windows could be intact. I did like the breaking windows, but them all breaking at once does make the car crash feel unrealistic. I hope my critique is ok. If you were going for more theatrical, this works. The overall tutorial was helpful for breaking into the newer versions of Blender; I did some car crash simulations on 2.77 and was hoping they had improved the physics (which looks like they have). Thanks!

perfect tutorial

hello 5:45 your car is crash but my car is disappear from the plane i don't know can you help me

Hello! I have a question. After the lowpoly collision ends, my car keeps sinking into the ground. How do you fix this?

Where did u get nissan x trail model?))

Hood of the getting thrown off the car and flying on its own n the crash, Please help!

Can i adjust the Pull and Push to 0.86? It looks good if its like that and it will deform pretty easy but it keeps the deform phase! Hope you mind Replying!

5:36 everytime i set edges it freezes blender. How can i fix it?

Someone be jumping in the car to make it randomly crash

i tired it , but my bonnet i parented to 3vertex keeps moving around.

just a question: why the soft body simulation make the car getting very very big and totaly buggy? But good video!

Dude, use 'L' to select loose parts and it will select parts of the mesh which aren't connected to anything(meaning that they don't share vertices). This was a good tutorial nonetheless.... Also to make it better, the crashing need to be faster(the simulation), its too floaty. Either increase the object weight or simulation speed. Also for the glass shattering, in the collision properties, decrease collision margin and increase friction and damping.

Why is the car intersecting the floor in the simulation? How can I fix that PD: you are awesome bro

My car is going inside the plane. How do I fix it? I also applied collision to the plane and to the cube too. Also, some of my exploded glasses are being left where the car hits the cube. WHY?

ninja

Can crash 4cars at a time can u explain it plse😢

How can I make a slow motion with that simulation?

How can I stop the animation?, because it stays floating :(

How to use this in video

please, tell computer specs for do this smooth.

BeamNG: Are you Challenging Me?

Can you make tyre drift smoke or burnout smoke tutorial?

I mean it’s nice and cool that you did it but it doesn’t look very realistic, idk something is off how the metallic surfaces are being destroyed. But keep it up, blender is hard and annoying sometimes xD

how can i export for other 3d software?

How do you apply?

Спасибо братан

hey how do i get the play and pause button you have on the bottom i don’t seem to have that

Is there a way to make the soft body simulation "stronger"? It feels like a bit jello

When i set the plasticity and bending to the max, the car just disappears, how do i fix?

Hello On blender 3.2 it just doesnt work i tried to mess with the settings but no way. My car just like melt on itself. Even with collision, the stuff go through the ground. It's like the car just transform into a cloth.

I export animation and add in unity . My animation is not see because animation inside the box. I am just learning blender and unity. Can you help me?

Looks pretty realstic! But the car's front should detach into different parts, instead of smushing together as one.

looks great however i feel it looks a bit to much like rubber or a balloon, like there isnt any weight or proper realism of how cars act when they crash, great tutorial tho!!!!

I tried blender once, was lost in adding materails to the object. Switched back to Cinema 4d.

bro why my car disappr when i adjust edges in soft body

Nissan X-Trail bencede var

Where can I download this application?

Which version of blender did you use for this tutorial?
