Often requested, seldom answered: How do you pop a balloon in Vellum?

In this tutorial we'll go through the steps necessary to disable pressure constraints if weld constraints in your simulation break. Useful not only but also for setting up a simulation of a bursting ballooon or bubble.

damn, i tried to merge this with a tool for wrapping a curve around geo. broken the balloon and rope bits into their own groups and made sure all the vellum constraints were working on the correct groups. once i view the dop net the whole geo freaks out.

after a bit more playing, i got it sort of working but it looks terrible. hahaha.

awesome tutorial! I am trying to use this for a tire blowout, so I have minimized the stretchiness and made some other tweaks, but I am having some difficulty getting a high-pressure explosion of the pieces once they break. It is working but just not as snappy as I would like. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Awesome! How would you start the effect from a pinching object?
