Blender 2.8 Tutorial - Cell Fracture Explosion

[@apexfilm9366]

Cell Fracture really deserves a proper development, great feature that is sadly pretty limited.

[@blendermania3d]

True!

[@jamescanada2460]

5:37 how to use the fracture add on

[@blendermania3d]

You need to search for it under the addons and type in Cell Fracture :)

[@samuelphipps6376]

Love that moment when I go to figure stuff out about blender, and unknowingly click on the video of the legend who has been teaching me for the past couple weeks

[@vctris]

If anyone has issues with the volumetric lighting being completely white you need to set the Emission Strength on the Principled Volume to 0. Great tutorial!

[@blendermania3d]

Thanks my friend!

F@#K! DUDE! The texture mapping part of this video - which isn't why we here - is the best explanation of texture mapping I've found so far! Just post the first 4 mins about texture mapping and what it all means! That alone is worth a million views!!! F-ing brillant!

[@fraeonfin]

Great tutorial! I had a problem that the Cell Fracture output was in the shape of a cube when i applied it to the sphere (Blender 4.0). However, the Cell Fracture worked correctly when i reduced the sphere to half its size (from 2m down to 1m).

[@fernandourquijo3228]

very well explained, thank you a lot , now the cool thing would be to animate an object that causes the breaking of certain parts of the sphere, maybe a swirling rocket

[@blendermania3d]

Thank you! Yes that is definitely possible and would be a cool idea

[@blendermania3d]

Thank you brother!

[@zeromeetsinfinity]

No advertising. Thanks !

[@howlinallen7720]

This is awesome!!! What I want to do is learn how it take a destroyed object like in this and then reverse the effect and fix it. Think of it like this You have a magic power like the Time Stone in marvel. You break a rock with a hammer and shatter it. Then you use your power and reform object to what it was like earlier (with maybe some cracks in it but never the less reformed.

[@blendermania3d]

You can simply do that by reversing the animation or frames 😊

[@MichaelHelmick2016]

Node Wrangler Ctrl+Shift+T sets all the textures for you automatically. Also if a Sphere to keep pinching on top to Barley noticeable set the Textures to Cubic,Sphere,Extended and connect the vectors to a mapping and Texture coordinate node. Good tutorial!!

[@jimmyjobindi2128]

Excellent tutorial. I can't believe Blender is free.

[@abmann4065]

Love this tutorial. I wanted to do something like this for some time. I do have an issue with my texture. Once I apply the cell fracture, the inner textures are stretched or scaled differently and I can't seem to find why.

[@blendermania3d]

Hey A Bmann! Glad you liked the tutorial! Can you try applying the scale of the object before doing cell fracture? Also after cell fracture you can select all the objects and hit tab to go into edit mode and unwrap them again. Another thing to try is adding a seam to the sphere and unwrapping it differently. I can help you more if you go to the official site Blendermania3d.com and post in the forums with some screenshots :)

[@BearSofty]

Love the voice crack in the start

[@lexit100]

Thanx for this video, how can I move this ball after I already added the rigid body to active and opend the ball fragments?

[@lexit100]

Just got it: rigid body settings have to be set on "animated" for each fragment of the ball.

is there any possible ways for making the particles fly to a same way ? like through x axis or y axis

Absolutely. Just use a wind forcefield and you can direct it in 1 direction

[@harshanalweera1474]

Any way to move this object around and then make it explod in later point in time

[@mrsnrub3334]

Thank you so much for this vid, been having way too much fun with the splosions :) If I wanted to keep the shell slightly separated (like frame 3 or 4 of the animation) as a still object, while the rest of the scene animates (orbiting lights within the shell) - what would you recommend? Could I keyframe it to be passive from that frame onwards? What could compliment the forcefield so that the shell would kind of vibrate between two gravitational pulls? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers man :)

[@JakeDavies]

I came to the comments to find this exact question. I seemed to have figured it out with just that, another force field. First force field was key framed in strength from 0 - 50 for the first 70 frames. Then the second force field comes in at frame 70 with a strength of -50 to bring the cells back in. Play around with these settings though if anyone is looking to do this too!

[@Molchanovatatiana]

Hello. When i add to Cube - Material - Surface - Princ. Volume, it looks like when i had no Cube at all, no lights outside the sphere. And when i match it to Volume, there is little squared light under the Sphere only. What settings could be wrong? Or maybe problem with pc and program. Thank you

[@Wazzapmx]

hey man I really dig the video but I have one question, when I do the cube thing, where it encompasses the whole sphere, it just blackens everything out and I can't see the sphere, what am I doing wrong?

[@deepakjamra5502]

Thanks

[@Niro_sounds]

Yeah so everything is colliding when i press play. I am using like a logo svg that i extruded so I am assuming its caused by some weird vertices. I really just want to make everything no collide if thats possible

[@blendermania3d]

Hey Nirossen. Happy to help. If you can post it on blendermania3d.com on the forums there with your .blend I'll take a look at it

[@rohangurav1311]

Thank bro🔥🔥🔥

can this be exported into unreal?

Not sure never used unreal but most likely

[@mattia735]

Awesome work, thank you . Does it works even on cycles?

[@blendermania3d]

Yes it should

[@eremundead6321]

when i do this, after changing the node connection from Principled Volume (Volume) -> Material Output (Volume), it initially goes the way yours does until I change the Color Attribute density to 0.1, which whites out the entire screen. Changing the color does nothing either. what did i do wrong?

[@blendermania3d]

Hey eremundead. Happy to help. Could you go to blendermania3d.com and post it in the forums with your .blend so I can check it out

[@omarahmed5813]

Hi i have a question to this addon can i make this Explosion with keyframes? I mean My planet should Explosion later ( in Frame 150 for example) is it possible? I Hope you can help me i have search in the Internet and i found nothing

[@TKtimestretch]

I always just duplicate what I want to explode and key it to move in right when I want it to explode

[@cyrilgiri7785]

u can use the start or end frame but i dk how im new.... 😭

[@krizsan0596]

keyframe the strength of the forcefield

[@MissusHow]

Hello! Would it be possible to only explode part of an object using this? as if only part of the ... moon... got hit?

[@blendermania3d]

Absolutely. On the parts that you don't want to be affected, on the rigid body physics just turn off "Dynamic"

[@matgogole]

Hello! Thank you very much for that tutorial because it is very clear. Nevertheless, I would like to try to make an egg explode for the game I am making, so it's like a very thin sphere because of the hole inside of it (I used boolean,maybe that wasn't a good idea?) . The problem is, it blows up instantly and is too strong even when I put the strenght of the forcefield to 0.001. Do you think there is a solution to that? Thanks in advance! 😄

[@matdeox]

thank you

[@linatoivonen3054]

Hi, my Blender doesn´t let me click on the "add active" option in the rigid body menu. What to do?

[@blendermania3d]

What does it let you do?

[@bipin9177]

Make sure you have the object selected

[@snakeywakey4109]

you can always add a rigidbody to a single object and then press "objects" in top left, go down to rigidbody and then press "copy from active"

[@schmuddelecke]

Hi, you cannot select the entire object at once. You must first select a piece of the sphere, then use B to select the rest.

[@nacho_a24]

Please do It with a Fire explosion

[@coolpenguin4851]

Thanks! But I have a slight problem that rarely occurs that I do not know how to fix, the add active and add passive feature wont let me click it and I don’t know how to fix it

[@karsteneckelt9641]

cool stuff

[@eklor]

I adapted along the way, and as I added a texture displacement (rock like) on my sphere before to make the cell fracture, the explosion happens now super fast no matter the force in the forcefield .. I guess cause the chunks are hitting each other. Anyway to suppress that?

[@MeinVideoStudio]

Hey nice Tutorial. How can i make the Force more linke an Impact so that the Simulation starts fast ?

[@damascuscode]

Hi, I am making the switch from Lightwave 3D to Blender (Please don't laugh!). I just had one question. Right now my animation is stopping at frame 240. Is it possible to get the force to animate past this point?

[@Dandemonium_]

oh my ghod. SOOO good!!!!!

[@indra0321]

how can i move the start of the explosion later, not with the first frame?

[@orpheus2644]

Using the same principle as the light startup. 1 - Select the Force Field object: 2 - Go to the Physics properties of that object 3 - In Force Field --> Settings find the field called Strength 4 - Go to the first frame of the animation and set the strength value to Zero and then add a keyframe to the strength field same as he did with the light. 5 - Go to the a keyframe before the one you want your force field to start at and add another keyframe with strength of Zero. 6 - Go to the actual real keyframe your force field should start and assign the force value of your choice and set another keyframe in it. And that's it The reason for having to keyframes at zero is just to tell Blender to keep the strength value at zero until the real frame it should start . Hope that was clear enough.

[@judomann89]

THANK YOU!!! I was wondering the same thing

[@Niro_sounds]

I am having an issue where everything is exploding when i click play, is there a way i can expand the pieces slightly before they collide?
