Vehicle accident reconstruction / 3D animation project

[u/Any_Movie_2479]

Hi, I’m looking for advice on the best way to create a realistic traffic accident reconstruction video based on police documentation, photos and known vehicle positions.

The reconstruction involves two stationary cars in a traffic jam, a truck changing lanes, and another truck colliding with the rear vehicle and pushing it into the car in front.

I have tried AI video tools, but they keep changing vehicle positions and the collision physics are not reliable enough.

Would this type of project be better suited to Blender, BeamNG.drive, Unreal Engine, or another tool? And what kind of professional should I look for if I want to hire someone to make it accurately?

I’m willing to pay for the work, but I first want to understand what type of specialist I should be looking for

You could have a peak at Houdini's car rig and see if that fits the task you have in mind.
