What is the best way to make damage geometry?

[bornloser]

3DS and blender users, what tools/modifiers do you use to model damage?

[janculits]

What I did (3ds max) - I just joined together pieces of "s" and "d" materials(for example join dHood and sHood in one object), so there are no holes when editing. Then I simply dragged some verts, also used soft selection tool, to save some work. And that is pretty much it - you have to be very careful not to make any holes.
And there is no magic wand, that makes the car damaged in a puff, but it does not take so much time anyways.

P.S. remember to detach the parts back again.
P.P.S. it is probably the same tip from me on Blender too
