Cinema 4D: Breaking Objects Tutorial

[@Jobomb22]

3:00 what the frack

[@brightgarinson3099]

JBMB LOL

[@NickBeatoMusic]

XD HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@AdictiveGaming]

i dont get it

[@rezgui_aziz]

why i read it what that fuck?

[@kprathamprabhu9626]

Fracture*

[@robertsonn80]

Why the upper edge is still in the air? what I must to do that goes down too?

[@chrismelgar8]

Using R21 and later you cannot just right click: To successfully disconnect polygons like this you must use menu "mesh > clone > disconnect" otherwise it will not let you uncheck "preserve groups"

[@TelStewart]

I am copying every step you have here and everything is identical except when I right click and hit "disconnect" I do not get a pop up window to uncheck "preserve groups" and the effects doesn't end up working at all. What am I missing here?

[@TelStewart]

+TelStewart Haha I figured my issue! With R16 and R17 when you "right click" and select "Disconnect" you have to click on the gear next to "Disconnect" to be able to uncheck preserve groups! Woot!

[@digital-motor]

+TelStewart Ahhh you saved me!

[@dhpdaedalusStudio]

Thanks! Your comment worked. It should be added as a subtitle on this video.

[@jameshunter8170]

sorry, but i'm not not understanding what you do mean with "klick on the gear next to "Disconnected"" sorry, but i'm german, and my programm isn't running in english. Thx. JH

[@amplifyingpixels2196]

yes! thanks so much.

[@ZarCole]

You click what at 2:40 am when you have done knife. Why color can yellow?

[@nenolima5595]

really great this tuto... first day learning how to do something at c4d, I got mine today R17, and following you I resolve something like ridigbody tag, there wasn't and also the ringlight. now iguals yours. after learn these steps. there's the question... how to put this breaking in a real scene? do you have tuto doing it?

[@wesleysilveira5692]

you really helped me out cuz i dont have noronoi fracture (something like that, idk) and the c4d youtubers explains really fast and understanble instead of you. really really helpful, subscribed!

[@entevirtual]

I've used Cinema 4D R13 and plugin Thrausi for same effect.

[@pbjstuff]

Great Tips. Until now i didn't know about the Compositing Background tag.

[@codemiesterbeats]

awesome, I need to make an intro style video... this might make a pretty neat element to add to it.

[@blad3animatez985]

After clicking disconnect it just showes the wireframe of the plane and the plane disappears, why? Please help!

[@alisamaan]

Great tutorial, can you put a link to the light ring to buy/download pls

[@videofort]

Sure. Take a look on www.VideoFort.com under the "Tutorials Section"

[@spokar1]

VideoFort I changed the texture of the plane to glass but now I see all the cuts on the glass. How do I avoid seeing the initial cuts until the ball hits the plane ?

[@satyamkumar-dt2lt]

after 5 years later this video helps me thanks a lot

[@9397-d6s]

R20 I can’t find the knife!! I tried the Line cut but it doesn’t cuts anything

[@mauricebarats113]

Have you find a solution for that?

[@kabirsircar1992]

Use plane cut instead

[@cmeves]

Is it possible to shatter custom made objects in this manner??? Not just a pre made circle or plane. When I add the "cloth NURBS" to my custom object, it makes every shatter element look bubbly and not connected at ALL.

[@123theanh]

Great tutorial ! But i dont know how to do UV and shadow . And after take it to after effect. I wanna break a wall . Can u guide me 😢 please !!

[@ayrtonadiong]

How to export it to jpeg once the sphere collided to the plane

[@jameshunter8170]

how do you do the disconnecting part in c4d r17?

[@chrismelgar8]

I had trouble too. My Line Cut tool was set to "cut" and not "split"

[@michatymburski9843]

dude you're awesome !!! i serched this tutorial for a weeks ! thx again ! :D

[@likelight2flies]

You should probably mention what version you are using in the info since the version is pretty important to know because they change so much with each release. so, if you are using r16 and above, this is a fairly outdated process and you will not be able to achieve this effect this way.

[@sebastianvangen]

Can i make this to a Greenscreen effect, make all of it green, like destruction wall of a building??

[@BlarghMeow]

What if i want the shattered pieces form something else?

[@juxwas]

Im running R14 on mac and I dont have the cloth nurbs option. Under simulate I only have dynamics and particles. Why is this

[@AdictiveGaming]

How to fix the not moving parts? I mean how to make everything move after collision? The parts which arent touched just dont move

[@craigtack5883]

I have followed this tut before and worked great. Now I need to use elements of this tut again for a project I'm trying to do. I 1st did it in C4D R15 now I'm trying it in R16. when I get to the part where I must DISCONNECT the slices using the right click on mouse option.It wont let me select the DISCONNECT option. AS IT IS GRAYED OUT. PLZ any help would be great... Thanks.

[@tonydigital1449]

Craig Tack You have to select the faces of the polygon before using disconnect

[@juliehsieh6196]

thank you for the tutorial realy helped me although i have a new problem, is there any way i can freeze this animation during the shatter and export that specific moment as 3ds model ?

[@burtininkas]

Nice. But when I start render it shows already broken wall. How to start from the clean one, and make that pieces only appear after collision?

[@MrTeutates]

set the dynamics of the wall from "immediate" to "at collision" that should fix the problem

[@yvalson6534]

my plane does not explode my version is r17 I also cant choose to switch off preserve

[@SPARKcreative]

same problem bro ! its been three years to you , u have solution on that ?

[@carliux0909]

I have a problem because i want to break a plane not in the start of the objetc animation, i want to break it almost at the end but my object doesn't do nothing... Any help?

[@motivationpouretudier2460]

In 4:37 i can' t make disconnect :( I have Cinema 4D R12. I see the disconnect bouton but i can't active it :( Help me please !

[@motivationpouretudier2460]

Target MuscledBody I 2:40 i click the Control button but it is not this button to select all segments :/ I am i IMac OSX please help me :(

[@KilllerWhale]

*I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BAAAAALLLLLL*

[@merylandscape]

XD

[@ExplodingWindow]

Hey I have C4D R14 and don't have the cloth nurbs, or even cloth option! Please Help!

[@danielsnieder5068]

6:36 can't you just make the object in the "fracture" thicker itself?

[@beesqee]

there isnt knife in AE 2018 cc / Cinema 4d lite r19

[@Murathanaksoz]

look again i have 19 to

[@martin.musale]

this is awesome ... Thanx Buddy

[@gavinthompson4790]

Lets say I am trying to break a character, one made of ice, can I somehow break one of his arms, while still having full mobility and control over the other limbs? Because every time I put my character under Fracture, my skeleton duplicates, the model, the skin, and both of the skeletons go in different directions and REFUSE to be put back together.

[@M.Finley]

Is there any way you can use same exact technic but to break Motext?

[@saemranian]

So USEFUL, Thanks for your sharing.

[@UranHexx]

Hey! I have a question, I have a organic shaped object full of segments already, the segments are not good to produce a good breaking effect, is there anyway i could delete the segments of the object but still remain the shape to add my own segments on to it? Thx!

[@danielsnieder5068]

need some help, i notice that when i make the tag for the fracture its different from the one for the sphere (it has a different logo, more options, and best of all: works) when I copy it, it emediatly adapts to the different one, any help?

[@danielsnieder5068]

edit: it changes it into a colidor body (same logo at least)

[@flatearthreality8683]

hey man, i see few of parts are left floating in the air after the collision. do you know how can i do that they fall on the floor also?

[@iHyperTV]

+1!! did u figure how to fix it??

[@flatearthreality8683]

+HyperTV yes. you need to keyframe it - when collision is done put keyframe to immediately, and the rest of pieces will fall. ( left from a word "trigger" at 5:35 is a keyframe small circle) so if you know how to keyframe than you will know how to do it

[@iHyperTV]

Octavian August thanks man! I also use the VRay renderer,and when I render, the pieces arent breaking.. if you maybe use Vray and know how to solve it as well, I'd be really happy if you could try and help me

[@flatearthreality8683]

HyperTV you're welcome. so when you preview clip in cinema everything is ok but when you render with vray they don't break? strange i render with cinema's normal renderer in PNG sequence format and everything is okay

[@iHyperTV]

Octavian August do you have the Vray plug in?

[@thomabow8949]

When I hit disconnect, the plane dissapears. When I click on the object in object window, I can see the outline of the shape but it's not present nor does it interact with my sphere. Also, when I hit disconnect or set Individual elements to all my C4D stops responding for several seconds. Any help?

[@jbx6862]

which version of c4d are you using ? because i cant find clothes nurbs in r13

[@Abdulkingtheyoutuber]

Hey man, When I disconnect, and deselect Preserve Groups, and Click Ok, THEN C4D CRASHES!

[@DGAFpranks]

When I do this, the little shards will bounce off the floor how I want for the most part, however some of them will fall an inch through the floor before bouncing back up. Does anyone know how to fix this so that every shard will bounce as it touches the floor.

[@lucasdmc2631]

My C4D starts to get laggy and eventually crashes when i make an object the child of the fracture, help

[@gianflavio_]

So how would you make a sphere break once it hits the ground (assuming its falling from above)

[@tehRoarrr]

leGianflavio just cut up the sphere instead and match the planes settings in the vid to the sphere and it should break on the floor

[@arielshtern4125]

"Disconnect" button doesn't do anything. i use C4Dr15 studio. please help

[@ValentinHenning]

rightklick, than klick onto the gear next to the Disconnect button ;D

[@lanstong]

Thanks ;D

[@silverdawnsyndicate]

would you possibly be available for hire for a future project? not extensive.

[@destructordex]

TANKS, it is really interesting what you teach

[@Murathanaksoz]

how did you open safe lines ?

[@kaisstudio8278]

Mine after breaking into pieces some piece wouldn't stop spinning and some would float up in the air. Why is this?

[@TheYentevaneynde]

please help me i study 3d animations and know how to to all of this but it keeps flying thru my object no matter what i click on/off i'm getting tired of this problem because i've been working more than 12 hours to fix this but still nothing

[@kuunami]

How would you go about making some of the glass pieces break into smaller piece when the hit the floor?

[@karalynclathrop9460]

my plane doesnt break when the sphere collides. it just hits it and the plane flies. i used disconnect and unclick preserve groups. any other thing i could be missing?

[@lewis2443]

SAME

[@lewis2443]

CLICK ON THE GEAR NEXT TO DISCONNECT

[@jan2xmotionmusic]

Hi, I'm using C4D R 12, I followed your tutorial and some things do not work properly, like when I set the dynamic tag in the plain, hit by the sphere and the plain goes on. When the animation preview restarts, the plain did not came back to position. Btw, thank you!

[@kingopulencemusic8502]

is there any way to get the broken object to reconstruct after impact?

[@frankytap]

Been redoing this tutorial for over an hour, still can´t get it to work. I repeat every step. One thing I notice is that my plane gets completely white after I put it under Fracture. Dosent look the same as in the video. But I do every step right. Still it wont break. Using R17, what to do?

[@michatymburski9843]

Have you a solution for my problem ? , when a sphere crushes a plane the some of pieces are going under the floor.

[@MrKbueno]

Thank you man, learned a lot from this. Great tutorial!

[@marto3d]

Hi , is this Cinema Studio ot Broadcast ?

[@lukamilicevic5558]

Tnx for tutorial, i like your intro!!!

[@LawlifeStephansk9]

How did you make your intro?

[@spectrablaze3760]

Where the knife. When I right click there's nothine there

[@frozenturtlemusic]

Spectra Blaze gotta make it editable.

[@sykopathsykopath3204]

just click K

[@ayaUwU]

Click on u and then it should pop a short cuts menu and then click k (it should be k)

[@vyruss6681]

when i try to disconnect the segments it disconnects just the right-clicked part!!! help!!!

[@bartvanherrewegen8953]

hey m8 i have tried to do this a few times by my sphere ceeps goin true the plane like a ghost and so it wont colide with it to make it shatter any thoughts? also ctrl a dous not seem to work for my version (same as yours tho by the looks of it)

[@juxwas]

The control A didn't bring a box up for me either, it didnt seem to have an effect. What you need to do is go back the part (3:15) where where he specifically talks about how you need to turn on/off the dynamics for certain layers. Your dynamics need to be turn off on the sphere, probably is your problem. If its not breaking apart he explain right after he tell you the settings for the sphere

[@bartvanherrewegen8953]

cheers m8 i got it now if you check my profile (my uploaded films) you can see the result of what i was aiming for.I made a jetplane fly true a mirror and making it transform into flowers lol

[@nicholaslindquist2644]

This is an outstanding tutorial. Thank you!

[@FalkieGFX]

Help me please! On my cinema 4d R14 doesn´t have the "fracture"... Can I download it?

[@TGAInTenSe]

So I'm trying to do an intro where a bullet hits my text and bounces off right as the text explodes. but unfortunatly in keeps going through the text instead of bouncing off and ends up looking retarted. Could someone give me some suggestions thx. And yes i've tried rigid body but then instead of doing a fly in animation it just falls out of mid-air :P

[@TheMinecraftGuy105]

So I have this on a cube and I want the segments on the cube to break into pixels instead of polygons. aybody know how to do this?

[@TheMinecraftGuy105]

Never mind I figured it out.

[@CubicalStudios]

Did you make it not hollow?

[@TheMinecraftGuy105]

I liked your tutorial, you explain everything :D

[@michatymburski9843]

fracture its not an add-on or plug-in , you need to have it . Maybe as you hear MoGraph you go to HyperNurbs . isnt possible that you dont have it , or maybe you didnt install it corectly.

I don't have the rigid body option in simulation tags bruv.
