Everyone know how to make a static wrecked things?

Like wrecked car, space debris, destroyed buildings, everything.

I'm trying to make a wrecked things models for my projects. The projects using .MDL format.
(Yeah, it's Source Engine.) You know, in Half-Life 2, there is exist "already wrecked" cars. How to make it?

I mean, static model, not a animation. My modeling skill is bad, so I want to make it simply.
Is it possible to make a static model of the result after a simulation that is physically destroyed?

I have searched few times this tutorial in Google, but there is no tutorial with related "Static" model. All tutorial is related with "Rigid body" and "Animation".

I don't think Blender has a deformation physics engine (if it does, please enlighten me), at least not for something like metal.

If you want a deformed car after a crash, you probably have to model it yourself (including the deformations).

If you want your model to fall apart into different pieces (like a building), you can do something like this:

It's a rigid body simulation but you can simply use the end result as static model.

Okay, so rigid body and animation is important for this simulation? Okay, I understand.
Thanks for the information!

Very stiff cloth settings might serve as a crutch tho...

True, might be worth a shot for the crumpled car.
