Blender 2.8 Tutorial - Cell Fracture Explosion

Blender 2.8 Tutorial - Cell Fracture Explosion. In this blender 2.8 tutorial we will take a look at how to make a planet explode using the cell fracture addon, force fields and many more. We will take a look at how to use gravity in Blender 3D and disabling it for this affect.
We will also take a quick look at texturing in Blender using a color texture, roughness texture and normal map texture. Moving on to rigid body physics we will create the effect of the pieces of the sphere falling away.

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

[@blendermania3d]

True!

[@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).

[@marcossocram6723]

Thank you, amazing :D

[@mounirdev9560]

Thank you so much

[@grosbouff]

Nice tutorial, thanks ! I want a sphere to explode but in a more "extreme" way (speed + rotation of each cell). How should I do that ?

[@TsuriaDragon]

Looks like an mega evolution sphere I definitely wanna learn this :D

[@xynerd]

awesome tutorial!

[@blendermania3d]

Glad you liked it!

[@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

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!

[@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 :)

[@matdeox]

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?

[@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

[@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

[@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! 😄

[@toppicksfilmarchive8639]

cool!!

[@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!

[@curiosity6581]

very impressive

[@blendermania3d]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Drew_Vernon]

@BlenderMania is there any way to make the light beams coming through the cracks much more defined, kinda like lasers??

[@cestunchopin4928]

Hi! Thanks for your tut. Why is my objects explode right away and my force field doesn't have any effect on my objects?

Interesting idea. Is that possible?

[@Byuel]

@@TygerTwo it is possible.

[@daniyalyousaf8509]

Thank you sir i buy your course in udemy sir i fully supported you sir carry on new lessons for me hahaha

[@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?

[@sketchframestudio]

is there a way to time the explosion with key frames as the start and end ? im trying to get a natural looking planet rotation as it explodes

[@vids1900]

What is the best way to set this up with a smoke and fire explosion, for bombs and grenades?

[@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 😊

[@tgt9443]

Hmm I'm searching for like how you could make them sticky so when they fall some pieces will like disconnect and the others will be connected together How do you do that

[@elcanaldedidago7377]

Why do the fragments seem to stop when they leave the radius of the force field as if they were kinematic?

[@wynton921]

Hello, I want to add an effect like this to an augmented reality app I'm building. Can these type of effects be exported as USDZ files? Thank you.

[@antomathanlijom5486]

best tutorial i have ever seen.....Thx a lot......But donno hw long it will take it for rendering?

[@blendermania3d]

Thank you! Glad You like it 😁 shouldnt take too long

[@harshanalweera1474]

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

[@nibblrrr7124]

2:28 With _Node Wrangler_ enabled, *Ctrl-Shift-T* will take care of the PBR texture setup for you. ;)

[@MichaelHelmick2016]

I just posted that also. Issue I have is the unwrap once you fracture the sphere. :)

[@alamzy7819]

It's awesome I love it but I think maybe the cell walls should like you know scatter not like leave the position the way it was...

[@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?

[@stanslausmanthi]

"Just take a piece, just take it out trie it out guys it's like taking a piece out of a cake"

[@blendermania3d]

Lol

[@Nirossen]

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?

[@yiyardhi2486]

When I put the material output of the principed volume in volume all the sphere and cube turns white, is it a problem of the rendering or it is ok?

[@ryanisthewind]

when the time comes, the default cube gonna take revenge We all gonna get DELETED!

[@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.

[@solo_2003]

Dude I’m a big fan of yours and please i have a recommendation could u upload a tutorial on how to destruct/destroy a Tree in a realistic way for ex: a plane hitting the ground and the tree’s get destroyed i would really appreciate it i just wanna know how to destroy a tree in a realistic way❤️👌👍🏻
