How to Create a Shatter effect in maya

[@smarterthenyou001]

a shatter animation like this is considerd oldschool , in maya if you look in the tab along the top under dynamics you should be able to find shatter in effects , iv had problems trying to create surface shatters but crack shatters easily achievable , i think there may be tutorials on youtube

[@CuttingEdgeSchool]

No, i solved the problem :) i was using Surfaces instead of Polygons :)

[@musicislifeplayitwel]

This is great, thank you so much! Just one quick question, I'm using a standing object, and when ever I hit play, it just shatters to the ground, is there a way to make it not shatter until the sphere hits it? Thanks.

[@boomRB123]

your tutorials are amazing ! thank you

[@clebo99]

How do you make it so the plane does not "fall down" towards the ball? Also, if I set the use plane setting, I don't even need the ball. The plane shatters by itself. Really nice tutorial. Thanks..

[@lakmal1st]

Very nice ! i was doing this using lot of plugins but now i know how to do it in it's own. and you should create more tutorials and it will develop you even more........

[@CuttingEdgeSchool]

I REALLY NEED HELP: When i click on Cut Face Tool, and click on the surface nothing happens. It says "Choose polygonal Face/objects first" PLZ! (This effect was working earlier but now it isnt!!)

[@KrZZymuTT360]

Try selecting the object before choosing the cut faces tool if that dosent help try reseting all your maya settings

[@ShuiYueSketchbook]

make sure its a polygon you are creating and not a nurbs. and then check to see which menu set you are working in. i.e surfaces or polygons

[@maniacalsnowball]

So can I apply this logic in 2012 or is there a different way. I need to make a building fall into pieces right before the camera goes under it. My class is very basic, and I'm not sure that my college teaches dynamics.

[@jennyweng5422]

I made a terrain ground and want to apply this effect on it but i dont know why it flies off in pieces(faces) not in solid. Any suggestions?

[@waterspray5743]

I don't have these tool options in Maya 2016 help!

[@jackhook327]

Don't know if you still need help but the cut faces tool is now Multi-Cut in the mesh tools menu and detach component is now just Detach in the edit mesh menu.

[@StinnMysterious]

does this work on a 3d cube which is slightly flat?

[@melody898]

Awesome.. thank u so much

[@idanib1]

i have maya 2012&2013 and its differnt title dont have the nMesh and nCloth in the dynamics...

[@andrewsalves158]

all correct one problem when the ball starts moving its the layer stars shatering

[@greenbastard6951]

can you apply this to a 3D rext object?

[@andrewsalves158]

i did fully but on the time of cache the both layer a moving ,circle is moving correctly but plane is moving downwards pls help me

[@LoadMotivation]

Tip for next tutorial.. Dont go so freaking fast!

[@captainAKAcapt]

at 1.34 when you drag a time slider your sphere moves too, so I did all you done in the vid but my sphere doesn't move! What I need to do? help please!

[@maniacalsnowball]

it keeps saying (// Warning: Nucleus evaluation skipped, frame change too large) What do I do to fix that

[@Supersourcrout]

Hey I need help. I make a polygonal plane and follow the directions in the video almost precisely but when I animate it, the plane moves downward (the sphere breaks through the glass but the plane moves by itself). And I check the transformations and they don't change. Could anybody help?

[@hi3663]

thats cool

[@Addepat]

you allraedy see the shatter before the sphere has hit the surface.

[@KrZZymuTT360]

change the playback speed to play every frame

[@zdawg3579]

Hey, would you like to do these kinds of things for us (we're building a game)? let me know thank you :)

[@NaiIkko]

nucleus gravity to 0, air dens to 0.

[@ShuiYueSketchbook]
