@@ArtisansofVaul I can confirm it's very fun, I've tried it not on the pillar but on a on a few bottles I modeled some time ago. I used both the main fragments and the recursive ones. It's quite funny to use, and if you forget to remove the original copy you get a nice "explosion" as well. I noticed that my fragments hover a bit over the plane, but perhaps it's because of some transform I forgot to apply. I wonder how I can keep the thing in place until something else interacts with it, though

this is neat and fun. but also it depends on the aplication, movies/still pictures perfectly fine. for vidoegames you might want to use a couple of chunks with particle effects for distributing the chunks instead, to save up on memory. because you have added significantly more meshes when you broke up the object. but at the same time i dont know how much it matters if i think about it, my guess is that while the option with particles is more efficient because you can do object instancing on the gpu, it may be possible that adding all this extra geometry may not matter all that much, maybe something to consider for mobile development, needs testing

Except for the fact that a pillar like that will not fall into soo many pieces but rather big chunks with some smaller pieces coming off.

@ArtisansofVaul

7 ай бұрын

So this is achievable with cell fracture. One of the settings allows you to repeat the break up on certain chunks so you can get a range of larger and smaller pieces

You can then select some of the peices and fracture them even smaller 😮 add even more detail

I'm not an expert in building damage/realistic breaking but there are settings where you can draw onto the model with the annotation pen to focus the damage as well so I think you should be able to get pretty controlled.

I've wondered if you can use any key frame in an animation to render an stl for printing. I haven't yet looked into it.

@darrennew8211

7 ай бұрын

Once the thing has stopped, you can apply the modifier while on the appropriate frame (for stuff like cloth) or "bake to keyframes" and delete the keyframes you don't want. There's multiple ways of saving one frame from a simulation and I don't remember the details, so you'd have to play around a bit to get the exact process.

I. Guessing pressing mesh clean up won't clean up the mess... But I'm wondering if you broke it at the end of animation how might you reverse the animation to make it all go back together? Is there a quick away to do it?

You can enter x-ray mode, select the objects that you want and in the rigid body settings there is an "animated" checkbox with a small white dot to the right of it. You can keyframe which ones you want animated and when you want them animated. For example a wall that has a wrecking ball going through it won't shatter the entire wall if you have the majority blocks "animated." I'm sure there is more you can do with this setting that I havent figured out yet

Make a copy of the original object and scale it barely larger than the cracked cells to make it appear whole. In your animation you can keyframe the when you want it to be visible in the render. Make it visible at the start, then, 1 frame before the fracture happens, key frame it out of your render. For those that don't yet know about key framing the rendered view of an object, in the scene collection on each object you should see a small box-like icon that is for rendering the object during the render. You can toggle it on or off as well as hovering your mouse over it and pressing "i" on your keyboard to add a keyframe.

Interesting
