Unreal Engine puts BP disaster into perspective [AMAZING VIDEO]

[LikeLinus]

The barrels don't accelerate under the force of gravity correctly. The physics sucks.

There's a reason for that....

" Its funny you mention that because at first thats exactly what they did, but I had issues where the barrels at the top would pick up so much speed that they'd ignite a huge explosion force to the pile of barrels causing them to fly thoughsands of feet away, I had to give the barrels a max velocity for that specific reason aswell as to have them fall slower then I was.

Do you guys use oil over in New Zealand?

I thought it hadn't been discovered over there yet...

Don't be silly. They still need to fuel their kerosene lamps on the front of their horse-drawn buggies.

Is it me, or did the pile at the end seem a little small.

Sorry nz , we need more than a flawed video .

Seemed small to me too. I wish he put something next to it for perspective.

sounds like you need crysis in order to blow up that many barrels....

They use oil processed from the fat liposuctioned out of Peter Jackson.

I LOL'd at that. Nice!

 

[KeithTalent]

Pretty cool. I only counted 24,752 barrels, but close enough I guess.

That guy must have a pretty impressive rig to handle all those physics

No. It was rendered over a period of several hours, frame by frame. Then put into a video at 30 frames per second. Its gonna be years before people can do that in real time.

Cool video.
