Hello, super cool tutorials. Just found today your YT channel and twitter. Cool stuff! I want to ask you to make a tutorial for somethinh like plexus plugin in after effects. Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZOyZYmpjbqJkK8

[@user-lw6uh1ww4w]

Hey, I dont have scale instances and Separate children in nodes!

[@WZRDLORE]

If you want to make all the fracture segments completely seamless, you need to manually type '0' into the margin field of the Mesh Data window. By default blender has a non-zero margin which makes the segments visible prior to separation.

[@joachimfure8030]

That still dosnt work with me. Idk what have happend, but even in new scenes, with the margin to zero, it gives me small errors all around. Tried in Blender 3.2 - 3.4. Annoying as hell.

[@hugoembien]

Ah that worked! Thank you!

[@blackswan6386]

where i can find this window ? or option ? thanks

[@mugwortofz3lb1za]

@@joachimfure8030 you could duplicate the fragments, join them back together and remove the inside so you have a shell object like the original sphere but with faces the same shape as the segments, then join this into your geometry nodes, with a delete geometry based on the same proximity so it only shows the part of the sphere shell which hasn't started to break, and only shows the 3d segments which have started to break

[@infintiyward]

This channel is one of my favorite things in life rn. Every video has some fascinating technique or really concise node setup. So cool. Rewatching everything while I wait for the next upload

[@nigellill3222]

Found your channel a week or so ago, great content & commentary. Just finishing off a model at the moment using this project. Cracking ground, lava underneath. Really easy to control using the empty. Cheers 👍🏼🦘

[@waffenwalter5962]

Cool effect! I've also added a delete instances node and checked for a scale "less then" to delete the real small chunks that are being produced when movind the empty :)

[@janos71]

The title kind of made me think, that the cell fracturing was done with geometry nodes.

[@CartesianCaramel]

I wish that was the case, but it doesn't seem that it will be implemented for a long time.

[@janos71]

​@@CartesianCaramel yes, it always seams as if you could do everything with geometry nodes, but if you have a very specific thing in mind, i think you often find, that there are still a lot of things you just cant do with it.

[@nektariosmusic]

I stumbled upon this channel as I was looking for a beginners tutorial on fractures with blender. Great stuff, but a bit more complicated than I needed as I really wanted the bare minimum.

[@nandodixtorsion]

Very great sample on geometry nodes, thanks!

[@silverravengames]

What a cool effect! Especially last the part with the distance looks really amazing!

[@giftnfor1265]

Wow, so cool bro, just what i needed

for added fun, u can insert float curve after map range

[@DonChups]

Thanks for the quick, clear explanation. Need to dive a bit more into GNodes, but my fear to nodes is vanishing quickly.

[@AlexeyBorzykh]

Nice & simple, thanks!

[@Kamome163]

Beautiful video!!!🤩

[@ruslandad365]

Amazing result!!!

[@totochandelier]

amazing effect , strange that I discover your chanel only now ; subscribed !

[@AngelAgudoGuerrero]

Really cool! Thanks Máster!

[@Erdorano.]

Hey buddy, really awesome channel. Looking forward to what comes next! I really like the effect however it doesn't give me 100% the effect I was looking for. I want to use it in reverse to have a object build it but the fractures shouldn't just spawn on their original location and just scale up. I'm looking for an assembly effect that looks like the parts coming from the sides before they settle in place. Kind of like in your lego assembly. Can you help me out? Thanks a million

[@FOS4media]

Great and simple ! Thx

[@SourceAwareness]

Very Awesome, thanks Friend!!

[@solideogloria5553]

[@francescofrau6162]

Great video!🤩

[@ramdogproductions]

Totally love this and great break down of the nodes. Is adding gravity straight forward? I will have to try it this week. Thnx

[@MrIkarist]

thx for sharing this vid and file. really cool to learn new stuff.

[@uenals-3dworld]

good tutorial bro

[@Kris-3D]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge :)

[@purpleparkstudios4124]

super useful

[@grachik]

crazy! Good one! I am really wondering how people come up with those great solutions. I even can't remember without youtube some simple geometric nodes!

[@ahsan118]

same same.... memorizing is tough

[@benediktmeyer]

thank you!

[@paulkuykendall5584]

very cool

[@ciboart5985]

Thanx for the tut, what settings should I play with with more complicated objects?

[@philipm2143]

Is there a way to control the scale/rotate/translate of instances based on the size of the instance? Example, if I wanted the smaller pieces to break away before the larger pieces? Is it also possible to use multiple empties? Thanks a lot for this tutorial

[@vintezis]

Very cool, but any solution to hide the cracks before the chunks are moving?

[@cgdigitaltreats]

I had to use the scale elements node. if I used scale instance it would scale all the objects as if it were one object.

[@CDallas]

Underrated video, although you just released it.

[@joabelescano4888]

this bad boy mix with the curse from the node guy and boy, *spams the shit out of it*

[@aggers2325]

Super tutorial thank you! How can I change the colour of the material after I've deleted the original mesh?

[@VitaDani314]

What did you do to fully understand what geometry nodes you need for what effect? You make it look easy, but there's no way I'd know what to throw in there to get these desired effects

[@cstpa1]

whoa the geometry nodes options.. it is in this moment i realized i never updated to 3.0 lol wow.

[@saambel5272]

Thanks

[@ResurrectTheFlesh]

I was wondering if you can alter the material based on the position of the empty. I was thinking off including a set material node at the end of the transform operations connecting it to the Object info + position but I was not able to figure out how to set a blending between the materials within the geometry nodes editor. Does anyone have an idea how to do that?

[@mulanmiller5000]

is there a way to hide the "fracture seams" as the individual pieces get moved into place?

[@Vincenzo-wl2jj]

thanks mate tNice tutorials was a big help

[@oxhid3]

in 3.5 this doesn't seem to work. the distance of the empty affects nothing, even when cranking up or lowering the values

[@amasun13]

I'm wondering where did you learn the use of nodes, some special approaches we never know？

[@alexandermoyle9034]

cool!

[@PolyMadd]

Any idea how to draw voronoi lines over an existing mesh, by using Geometry Nodes?

[@MagnusHertzberg]

What if I want the Empty (the "trigger") to be non-uniform scale? I want to affect more wide on the X axis, than tall on the Z axis, for instance. Fallof range more shaped like a rectangle than a uniform sphere.

[@gennaroscalia8213]

Hi, I'm really new to geometry nodes, I have an environment and I would like it to be visible just inside the "field" of an invisible sphere, by scaling the sphere the visibility changes, how could I do it? Thank you for your work and your tuts as always :)

Why does the GMS tNice tutorialng doesn't soft sa way like it did in the video?

[@photoshoptutorialsbyphotof111]

Hey, I'm just starting to get into making soft and tNice tutorials 17 minute video helped a LOT MORE than those one hour long tutorials out

[@jameslawinangelo9756]

Maybe this method can be used to make the nano tech suit of Iron Man in Infinity War

[@AdrienTasic]

Hi! Thanks for the video, very informative. Is it possible to bake animations from this for export? I guess not but I'm asking anyway..

[@rremnar]

I just took down a question asking the same thing; as I realized you already asked this and never got a response lol

[@Nirossen]

Does anyone happen to know how to restrict the fractures to certain vertices/edges?

[@hartdr8074]

How did you scale instances with all 3 axis at the same time? How did you select all axis?

[@faizahmohammedaruwa]

Click on the first axis at the top and drag to the bottom. All 3 will be highlighted and selected at the same time. If you don't release the click and still hold down, you can slide left to right to change values. If you release the click, you can manually enter the value you want. Hope this helps!

[@hartdr8074]

i'M USING A LAPTOP SO I CHANGE SO,OME KEYS I DON'T HAVE F3 HOW DO I ACCESS THAT

[@BeluCatBMG]

But how to make this fractured pieces move with it's parent? The're immoveable with this setup, adding position to instances pushes them outwards and inverts parents movement

[@BeluCatBMG]

Figured it out, you need to add parent as object info and add it's position to instances

[@jayantharajapaksha7793]

Will the geometry proximity node will also work?

[@ijidau]

Yes, absolutely. Hooked up to the distance output.

[@kamillatocha]

so this is just scaling objects in collection ... was hoping it generates the fractures dynamically in nodes ...

[@Dmonic_Cow-666]

Hi can anyone please tell me how I can export this to Unity.

[@soleyman8263]

very good

[@justgiova789]

collection info node is no where to be found? can anyone help? using 2.92

[@pokerapper8703]

3.0 changed geo nodes completely, you need the new blender version

[@sinom]

Ah yes. "How to Fracture Anything with Blender 3.0 and Geometrynodes!" where the fracturing itself uses neither Blender 3.0 nor Geometrynodes...

A way to affect fractures with geonodes

[@BurntClips]

Wow…

[@Ricardo-de9ju]

The only thing that bothers me out is the fact nothing breaks only in straight lines like celular noise. We should see some curves also to look more natural.

[@alicesur8750]

Thanks for the video man! How do we paint inside of an object. I missed that part. Thanks all!

[@alicesur8750]

Got it! If you add two material and then use the "cell fracture" feature it automatically adjust the inside and the outside.

[@faizahmohammedaruwa]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But I've done this tutorial at least 3 to 5 times over on my own project, copied everything to a T, but it STILL ISN'T WORKING FOR ME!!! What am I possibly doing wrong? Please help!! ;-;

[@_blender_man_]

It’s okey

[@Rehd66]

Can just one person make this video with an actual object that you'd be dealing with? I can do this all day with basic shapes, but it never works when I need it for an actual complex model

[@christianholl7924]

I would have loved to see this tutorial without cellfracture addon :-(

[@Hurt21]

Why? Its easier and faster to use cellfracture than make it from scratch

[@christianholl7924]

@@Hurt21 but it's not procedually / non destructive.

[@Hurt21]

@@christianholl7924 just instance it

[@christianholl7924]

@@Hurt21 instance what? The Cellfracture Addon writes its results into the mesh / into objects. After it is processed nothing can be changed anymore. Of course it’s always possible to work with copies of the original mesh, but that‘s still not procedual and destructive. Currently I‘m working on a Geonode setup which should do the same as the addon - except it‘s really non destructive. So it is actually possible to solve it in pure Geometry Nodes.

[@Hurt21]

@@christianholl7924 it's great to have a procedural workflow but don't make something easy more complicated than it needs to be

[@adrianscarlett]

Maybe this could be a starting point in a fully geometry nodes method? kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3KUZH-GeL9mmq8

[@tylerherr4288]

sorry but i swear some blender tutorials need a zoom in window or something cause i cant see shit when it comes to individual values and its not like youtube cares about your browsers zoom

[@beberenice5522]

Give Ableton a try. IMO its more intuitive.

[@RoN43wwq]

too bad that in 2022 Blender has only one stupid addon for fracture objects.

[@milagro2300]

Blender hates me. Not the addon doesnt fract anything

[@GifCoDigital]

Clickbait!!! Cell fracture is cheating, not geonodes!! lol ;)

Clickbait.
