“I work at Framestore, and spent several months last year developing a tool called “fBounce”, which allows artists to run Bullet rigid body simulations through Maya. The tool has been used on a few productions now, but the only one released so far is Sherlock Holmes, which won the VES award for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Feature Motion Picture. There’s an article on the fxguide website about the effects, which mentions fBounce twice!”

Thanks a lot Kate for sharing this information. See the original posting here.
