Animation of 55 gallon drum crush/compaction simulation (simplified to 6 frames at 1fps). Hopefully you can use it for stills (partial crush) or the animation itself, perhaps at different frame rates - the 6 frames tween quite well. PS the youtube link uses the full dataset of the simulation (>1000 frames).
Hope it works for your projects. If there are variations on the theme you'd like to see then pls let me know, I will use the feedback to guide future work.
This looks so cool. :)
