What is the best way to go about animating car crashes in iClone, Including body damage?
Just my luck, i finally start using iClone as a pro offering to my clients. My first job was a crime scene reconstruction where a lady gets hit by a car. It went fine, though it would have been nice to have been able to add a little bit of debris.
The second job required a character taking off his clothes in the desert somewhere.. lo an behold i cant actually animate that in iClone cause the clothing is not independent, so i had to cheat using creative camera switching hahaha
Now Im being asked to do another crime scene reconstruction, this time involving two giant trucks colliding.... i don't think i can get away with creative camera switching. I have to actually show the damage happening.
Any advice!?

Soft Cloth Collision should be all you need: For Debris, it would take a little more, but the hard part is keeping the collision. If you have two vehicles coming together and you want them both damaged, just put a block between the two where they meet.

If I only had Cricky's skills maybe I could have added damage to my little crash scene from long ago...

It is such a good scene, you should remake it with the impact Just a suggestion.

I did something with soft cloth and Bullet physics a while ago (iClone 5):
The advantage of using soft cloth under PhysX is that you can bake the result.

So the question was also asked “how to make a car hit a pedestrian?”
I have tried it using the installed Jeep and my avatar, but my avatar always floats into the Jeep instead of being knocked down. I activated Physics for the Jeep and tried every setting, Kinematic, dynamic, etc. I created a path for the Jeep leading right through me.
any suggestions greatly appreciated.

My past is following me...:unsure:
To apply physics to a character you need to attach dummy props to the character. The dummy props can then interact with other objects. You would have to experiment where to place those dummy objects.

Thank you so much. I will try that.
