i like how he pinned it but didnt bothered to put it into the descriptions xD

[@Aisbejsijdns]

Thanks

[@nibblrrr7124]

@@danuvip I'd be happy if he did put it in as chapters for accessibility! (If you're reading this: no credit required ;) ) Though I suspect that there might be reasons why creators don't put in chapters - perhaps related to sponsor contracts, or algorithm silliness. His video, his decision. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

great to see this done with vanilla Blender and only the free molecular add-on :)

Never knew Suzanne had a Jedi power, the way she ripped that Tie-fighter

[@gnomechonky]

Another great and fun video. With method #1, I found that increasing the velocity in the particle system really adds to the savagery of the explosion.

[@AllExistence]

Hold Alt to edit all selected at once. You should have added bounciness to shattered objects. Otherwise it looks fake. Also, mass calculated on size. So make the object realistic first. Otherwise pebble might weight a ton.

[@CGGeek]

Some good additional info!

[@obhwg]

How would you add bounciness to shattered objects?

[@AllExistence]

@@obhwg This is a property in rigidbody physics settings.

[@HarnaiDigital]

Nice Beard Steve. I was looking for Destruction in blender and suddenly your video popped. It was really helpful man. Keep it up.

[@T-extreme]

He´s funny and can explain really good. Congrats on 1 million subscribers Steve! You deserve it.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

This was awesome! Thanks for explaining everything thoroughly

The last metod was my favourite!! GREAT VIDEO! I LOVE PHYSIICS♥️

Fr so gewd

[@BlenderInferno]

Damn that cube smashing through looked epic! Always enjoy watching these videos :D

[@enilenis]

Been working in Maya for 20+ years and in Houdini for a bit, but now I'm in the process of switching to Blender, because of how quickly it catches up to competition. I think it represents the future of VFX. Your tutorials help me a lot. Sincere thanks.

[@CubOfJudahsLion]

Entertaining and very informative. Good stuff as usual.

[@ManaLucune]

[@Haze_Nexus_real]

Wow, your videos give me so me so much nostalgia, when I was 9 years old, I used to watch your videos all the time! And they still help me to this day! (I'm 12 now)

[@Crimjonn]

Man this is one of the best thing I've seen done with blender

[@peterblake988]

This was an amazing Tutorial TYSM for making it!!!!!

[@eastthebeast3132]

When everything renders it looks so realistic

[@KionLionGuardOfficial]

Thanks bro! (Nice outro) Now I can finally destroy the default cube!

[@Official_Cameraguy3d]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@TheNerd]

I would be hyped, if it wasn't a Blender simulation. I can already feel the pain, when I need to use this for some idea.

[@nehal8467]

Bro really love your work i am going to cereat some dope animation animation now.

[@brownmoon1317]

great work steve ! 💙

[@PrinceWesterburg]

The REAL trick to destroying stuff by fragmanetation is observation; Break something into a few pieces, select the ones in the impact area, fragment them, repeat, repeat. Then you get a model that shatters like a object as square root fall off of energy causes less damage further from impact.

[@JaeHaruArt]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video.

This is great!

[@odysseystudios2033]

This is sick!

[@averystupidchannel31]

[@ShimaVillain]

Question! What about metals sheets? Was looking to mess around with an explosion poking a hole in a ship/through a metal door, but I've never found a way to nicely reproduce it.

[@shivu6377]

Will you please bring a new video about Sound Design in the animations and also about how dynamic sound can be added for collisions?

[@TaherAnjary]

Awesome video dude! Any chance you know if the molecular add on let's you specify a different material for the inside of the pieces?

[@studywithdaksh_official]

Finally our Steve is again back, but you are supposed to shave your beard 😅

[@PolMer_90210]

I guess that's one way of deleting the default cube :D

Because of you I learnt a little bit of animation subscribe i did it

destruction 😎

[@EacProductions44]

Thanks for this video! How do I prevent my particles from embedding halfway into the floor? I haven't done too much particle physics before and I can't find a solution other than just making a floor then baking the particles and then removing the floor for rendering.

[@Blender_Pot]

Thanks bro. Big fan from Tamilnadu 😇

[@StudioKelpie1993]

I downloaded the Molecular+ Addon, but it isn't showing up when I try to install it

[@CGGeek]

Make sure you have the right version of Blender! (3.1 or newer) and that its enabled under User installed addons.

[@sinderbloq6466]

@@CGGeek it's not working for me either. And for some reason the add-on in the description is "molecular" and not "molecular+" could this be it?

[@infalogger9697]

hey mister cg man, when I try to simulate with molecular with cell fracture I put a plane with collisions on at the bottom to hold rock particles with molecular and to hold the fractured objects when I simulate the molecular sim the fractured pieces look like a sorting algorithm and it’s very weird it flings all the particles too

finally the new vid is released😃

[@YouthTeamProduction]

Thank you for great tutorial 🔥 I have a question: I am trying to use Cell Fracture on Christmas decoration, but I want to keep my object thin, and it should be empty inside. Can anyone give me an advice?

[@CGGeek]

Cell fracture doesn't often work great on thin objects (it is possible though -if your object has some thickness and is hollow on the inside. But might recommend trying the first method, the explode modifier and particles!

[@YouthTeamProduction]

@@CGGeek Thank you, it was helpful 🔥

[@AxonMediaSeattle]

I really wish the Fracture Modifier Branch wasn't essentially dead. I got the best looking destruction with that version of Blender. What would it take it to roughen up the edges of the regular 'ol Voronoi fracture? Because would really help with realism. That and being able to tweak how your object breaks. The Fracture Modifier branch could generate this really cool ripping metal behavior I haven't seen anywhere else.

[@li_tsz_fung]

0:45 What the hell was that sound. I was so freaked out by that. I thought a bat or some weird creature went in to my room and it sounded very much like it's coming from behind.

[@antocherian5459]

is it possible for the rigid body to not fall down?im trying to make an object hit on a wall i dont want the wall to fall down..is it possible to make the wall only animate after the collision object hits the wall,i want the rigid body to be intially sleeping and only get active when the collision object hits it

[@chroma945]

what if you add molecular addon onto a cell fractured block

[@sommerheiler7559]

jo cg, i need help. i am using blender 4.0 and for the last method after putting broken to 0.1 like you did my cube just half falls into each other and breaks half way. how do i fix that to stay more stiff but still break sadisfyingly?

[@SocksNGames]

now i will destroy the default cube since deleting it is not enough!

[@Daark_Karma]

Just wondering, with cell fracture and rigidbodies, can suck a thing work in a zero gravity environment? Or should the explode modifier just be used instead?

[@alimkotwal5876]

Can you make a video on how to composite ground destruction in real scene 💯❤️

[@gigithechef8786]

How would I put a minecraft block texture on the last add-on molecular+?

[@jamaalsineke2405]

Any Idea on how you'd implement these prebaked effects into a game engine? Preferably Unreal but Godot or Unity tuts would be fine too

which method would you recommend for a car. My brother just bought a new car and I want to make a blender of it exploding. maybe after it rolls or something

But how do I make the object - such as a missile or bullet NOT destroy certain things? Such as character models? I want to make a CGI remaster of the 3 Kryptons vs the army and show the bullets and rockets actually hitting them - with a catch: they don't get destroyed, but everything else around them does.

How would You animate a cat crash with destruction ?

For some reason the calculate mass for cellf racture doesn't work, it won't let me click it and idk why

[@bernardogasperazzo4479]

why do i keep getting small balls instead of the small squares after baking? like, even if i make a 3d grid with a square, theres only small balls as particles

also i am slowly losing my sanity with how many times my blender has an error with no way to fix it. i feel like i can't get far without something getting in my way. also i am still rendering on a laptop that can barely render basic animations. but i was able to get the molecular add on working though, at midnight
