Fracture Modifier | #2 Shards and triggering

[@MayKayy]

We are really need this on 2.9+ version

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

Totally agree - hope there will come something new in the future.

It's very helpful Thanks !!

GOOD LORD THIS IS AMAZING

[@Skemooo]

just got into this branch its so good.. im having fun. thanks for sharing this.

[@slashhashdash]

This is amazing! I would love to contribute to this project, how can I get started?

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

You will find contact information on BlenderPhysics.com

Hey! I have a problem, I cant see the left side fracture panel that I see in your video, any help? (the right side is all ok, I have fractured my object correctyl and everything, but I truly cant see the left panel... )

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

Did you enable the "helper-addon" in "preferences -> addons" ?

[@RaffoVFX]

@@Blenderphysics-Videos hey thanks for replying but I actually fixed it deleting that fracture build and downloading it again from another link that I found online. Anyway I guess the reaon was just the helper was not turned on :P

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

@@RaffoVFX Great! Happy it works now :).

[@21PushpakJain]

@@RaffoVFX can u send me the link I want to download it

how i can add fracture in bbender 2.8 beta . thank you

[@decoratedboar2]

I don't think there's a 2.8 build as of yet, but it says that they're working on one on the website

[@bortuda]

@@decoratedboar2 cant believe that.. theres a version for 2.79 but not for 2.8? its an upgrade NOT a downgrade OMG

[@decoratedboar2]

@@bortuda it's made by a group of guys working essentially for free, and like I said they are working on a 2.8 version. in the meantime, there are workarounds to import fractured objects into 2.8 iirc, look it up

[@KillerFknWolf]

can i just say this is absolutely awesome, please do some more tutorials. is it possible to do all the Fracture tests in a separate file then append your wall/object to a different file at any particular frame, for an animation?

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

It would be needed to refracture the object. But remember that all physical simulations are the same cache! So the only way to delay fracturing is to use the "delay"-feature from the helper addon or just use triggering. Hope thats helpful for you :)

[@KillerFknWolf]

thanks for the reply, think i've been mixing up the way Blender currently uses cell fracture, creating a dupe of the wall and having each chunk of wall a separate object. i was wanting to i run my sim using Fracture and bake it, then drop than in my animation file at the right place. just seen there's dust/smoke/debris options too - is there any documentation about these, or are you working on a video? Edit - i'm trying to weight paint, but i can't seem to get it to work :-/

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

The Fracture Modifier can convert your simulation into a keyframed animation where every single shard will have an own animation curve. These then can be moved in the timeline! No documentation actually - but i agree its required to do more tutorials about the addons settings. Sorry, please be patient there is a lot todo actually.

[@KillerFknWolf]

thanks for the reply, don't worry, take all the time you need, this addon is worth it :-)

[@adikavi]

That's great !

[@fish3170]

How can I achieve active rigid body object being a triggered and passive being a trigger? For example for a mug to shatter on impact, not in mid-air.

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

Triggering actually does not work in this way. I can place a request on out todo list. But you can use constraints to hold pieces of your active/fractured object together while moving. Another thing is in the "timing"-panel of the helper addon. Here you can delay fracturing.

[@TolisPiperas82]

i cant find the column of the upper right

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

what exact to you mean?

[@TheDeaffilms]

I have blender fracture modifier 2.79a. I realized that i couldn't find generate smaller shards come with FRACTURE on the panel. there is no fracture on the left side on panel lists. I already have cell fracture addon. what is going on?

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

Please watch episode #1 of my learning series. It explains how to get this working. You need to install/activate the fracture helper addon inside the fracture modifier custom build.

[@KillerFknWolf]

easier way to place the ground level is move it on the Z axis and snap to a bottom vertex on the wall.

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

Yes! But we recommend to use the "Drop to ground" addon. Ill upload it to the blenderphysics web page soon ;).

[@KillerFknWolf]

ok, sorry to bother you w/ another question; after playing w/ this, i've added a wall to an animation file, just doing the same things as i was in my test file, ie creating the fractures and playing w/ the helper values etc. sometimes, after scaling or changing the particle values etc, when i press play the wall and trigger [a dropped item like your ball, though i haven't activated all the triegger properties yet] just do seemingly one frame, although the rest of the animation is ok. any thoughts as to what that is? if i ctrl+Z the changes, it all runs fine again. TIA

[@ukmonk]

please bring this out for 2.83.......

[@Blenderphysics-Videos]

Yes i would love this, too ;)

[@radi0n]

Magic!

Increaze ze sharts!
