Detailed Box smashing

[Foxtrot88]

In the tunnels movie u see that the chainsaw flying things destroys a box.
I think i recall Gabe saying that they will not crush in one part, but as several parts. In this video you can see that the box are moore detailed, so do anyone know how this works ? :bounce:

I'm guessing it would be similar to box breaking in painkiller.

The mapper has the option to set whether an item breaks realistically or breaks into one.

I assume this will be part of the LOD settings Valve are incorporating into the game too.

Iirc they can put breaking points on objects, that when you shoot them they will break at that point, so I figure a crate has a few of those points and when you shoot it enough, it breaks up at those points.
