[@nickf9024]

Wow this is unbelievable! How have I not seen this yet! I was just looking set the unreal chaos engine and thought it would be a long time before unity had anything similar

[@izaiahedwin3038]

I guess I am kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch new movies online?

[@fayezsalka]

Wow! Been a fan of this tool ever since 3ds max.

[@teslacine]

Congratulations for the awesome results after your long time hard work. I hope nowadays you guys can already dedicate some time for the 3dsmax version. Chers.

[@MirVadim]

Yeah, we already working on it for a month or so, it was completely rewritten to support Win 10 and be optimized for new features (like Collapse in this video) to be added a bit later.

[@teslacine]

@@MirVadim omg thank you for the awesome news!!

[@BunnyJoker]

Absolutely awesome!

[@MirVadim]

Thanks )

[@alejmc]

Jesus man, the connectivity and connected clusters behavior is just, wow. And how it works together with the other demolition/activation modes.

[@MirVadim]

Thanks :) I already have some thoughts how to make it even better. But this will take some time.

[@mastermati773]

This is so beautiful.

[@vishy2511979]

Wow thats awesome

[@MirVadim]

Thanks

[@Cathodeus]

Excellent 👌

[@MirVadim]

Thanks.

[@BlinkStudiosYouTube]

This looks sick!

[@aspensareprettyneat4002]

This is awesome. Does it work on mobile hardware?

[@MirVadim]

Yeah, it supports IOS and Android

[@shenspurgeon]

Great addition for Unity. Will there be a UE 4/5 plugin in the future?

[@MirVadim]

I hope so, we need 2 more months to update Max plugin, then 2-3 months to add some new features in Unity, and then MAYBE we will start with Unreal engine.

[@shenspurgeon]

Thanks, @@MirVadim. Have always loved Rayfire's ease of access. Hope to see it integrated with Unreal in the future!

[@aurelienperruchot7402]

hello, why is there no bricks shatter option in unity version of RayFire ?

[@DemokratischDenken]

If I buy RayFire on Black Friday for 3ds Max will I get the "collapse update" for free when its ready?

[@MirVadim]

All 3ds Max plugin customers get one year of all new updates for free. We are going to release the new Max plugin build 1.86 in next two weeks with a fixed bug on Win 10, and then it will take a month or so to add Collapse feature in build 1.87

[@DemokratischDenken]

@@MirVadim Thanks. I hope your website will be online until friday.

[@MirVadim]

@@DemokratischDenken you have problems with website?

[@DemokratischDenken]

@@MirVadim Yes, I can't access it for 3 days now. At first all I got was 404 error, now it shows "Index of /" followd by 2 folders named "cgi-bin" and "joomla30".

[@MirVadim]

@@DemokratischDenken I migrated my web hosting recently to another plan and seems like they broke something. Jist wrote to support about this issue. You can contact me via email, so I will send you the purchase link.

[@Sodomantis]

Whaaaaat? Rayfire for unity?!?! How fast is this? And it's one sale for black Friday? I am so busy this weekend. :D

[@MirVadim]

Fast enough to demolish low poly object to low amount of Voronoi fragments in real time. Sale will end up in December 4.

[@behappianstudio3576]

Фантастика!

[@MirVadim]

Спасибо )

[@ForCasual-y6x]

Is there a keyframe setting to make the duration of when the object will break?

[@MirVadim]

There is public method Demolish() which you can use in your scripts. As for keyframes, no, but maybe I can add some kind of Timer feature that will do this.

[@salvagegames9232]

We are thinking about buying this asset, but can not find a video example of how it could be used for chopping down trees. We suspect it can be, but appears to be no videos on that specific implementation. So as the axe is hitting the tree, their would be chunks coming off and after 5 to 7 wacks only that part of the tree being hit would come apart allow the tree to fall. Leaving the bottom tree stump part in the ground. We want this because if an Orc or Golem wacks the tree in the same place it should shatter only in that place and the top of the tree falls with the stump part left. Could you do a video showing how to do this? We know the slice feature would work, but most players could not do this in one strike with a bladed weapon. We are most likely going to buy it as it is such a versatile tool that clearly does way more than shown in the videos.

[@MirVadim]

Hi, I think I will need to add some soecial support for teature you need. Slice for now slices whole mesh by infinite plane, you cant apply ut just at one limited area. Fragmentation also fragments whole mesh using voronoi diagram. I can drop you full package to try it first to see if it can be used in your project. Contact me via email or discord.

[@salvagegames9232]

@@MirVadim We purchased RayFire and look forward to using it and also experimenting on the trees. We think we will slice the trees into three parts in a 3D Editor. Bottom Stump, Small Destructible Section, Upper Tree. Apply RayFire to the small destructible section and use a script to piece the tree back together. When the Destructible section is damaged enough the tree will fall. We will give the tree 8 direction paths to choose from to fall. What ever direction the player or NPC is facing when the script triggers the fall, the tree will fall in that direction leaving the stump in place. When the tree contacts the ground it will be replaced with small logs and some falling branches to be picked up for crafting or fire wood. We work in Low Poly and Polygon style games so no worries on how it looks, it will definitely work. Something like this, but instead of only a stump and upper tree, we will have a small destructible section also to apply RayFire to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gICUg5R-famkh9k

[@MirVadim]

@@salvagegames9232 Show me later how it works and let me know if you will need help. Tree demolition is basically completely separate and specific type of demolitions, it may deserve it's own component.

[@hepticftw]

Does this have any support for multiplayer? are the fragments seperate game objects?

[@MirVadim]

Hi, sorry, but there is no any special support fir multiplayer games. And yes, every fragment is separated gameobject.

[@comprasdenon6646]

Wonderful work MirVadim!! Really liked the product! I have one question to ask. It is possible to use the slice tool to implement a dismembering mechanic, with the member fly off after been cut? Thanks for your time!

[@MirVadim]

Hi, thanks, this is what we are working on right now. Current slice works only for rigid meshes.

[@comprasdenon6646]

@@MirVadim Glad to hear it! Looking forward for this release! Thanks again!

[@teslacine]

Hi dear hero MirVadim, maybe 3dsmax users can wait for a nice surprise before Christmas? ❤️

[@MirVadim]

Hi, we are working right now on new build with fixed bug on Win 10, probably will release it in two weeks or so and then a month will take to move Collapse feature from this promo to new next build.

[@teslacine]

@@MirVadim wooow thank you! We are living again in a very interesting era for 3ds max, and it is clear that we could not miss our favorite interactive demolition plugin! if possible make a tease video before the release, just like in the old times 😁

[@MirVadim]

@@teslacine Sure, I will create one for new Collapse feature.

[@BluesInSeattle]

Question: do the models need to be static? I mean, can I rig this to an active model (like a mech) and destroy them at run time somehow?

[@daniloguevara2940]

Before to buy it on black friday sale! Can someone tell me if I need to use prefractured assets or any 3d software to prefa!????

[@MirVadim]

Hi, you don't need to but you can. There is Shatter component which allows to fragment object in Editor, save fragments as an asset and then use them as reference for demolition. But as I said you can use FBX fragments from other packages as well.

[@AnselmvonSeherrThoss]

Awesome progress! Is demolition by shooting, etc. coming to the 3dsmax version eventually?

[@MirVadim]

I guess so, but first we are going to implement collapse feature.

[@joserororo9240]

Excellent simulations, almost better than those of 3ds max ..., it hurts that I don't use Unity as a Game engine ..., ,, for when the version for Unreal ...;), un saludo

[@MirVadim]

Maybe we will port it to Unreal later.

[@Remembadaname55]

@@MirVadim Im honestly surprised you guys ported it to Unity in the first place. What made you guys do that?

[@MirVadim]

@@Remembadaname55 I was working in Unity on my own game alone for two years in my free time, kind of a hobby and motivation to learn Unity. Also Epic announced Chaos Engine and Unity didn't have anything like this, so I decided to port it to Unity while this niche is empty. Now it is not :)

[@ai_and_chill]

this destruction system looks amazing, but are there management systems for object pooling or a toggle to destroy fragments after a certain amount of time? i'm also wondering how this would work with objects LODS. would each LOD need to have the same script?

[@MirVadim]

Hi, there is a Manager component that manages pooling, although it is not optimized yet enough. Also, there is Fading feature that allows removing demolished or activated objects in the scene after some time. As for LOD, sorry, but I didn't add any special support for LOD system, this is something for one of the next releases.

[@ai_and_chill]

@@MirVadim thanks for the info. i wish i had found your tools sooner. the one i have is good, but i spent an ungodly amount of time fracturing things in blender. it didn't have any fracture methods, only object swapping, parenting, and particle swaps. i'm amazed and frustrated by how easy you've made it hahah

[@ai_and_chill]

@@MirVadim also thank you for the quick response, i'm sure you're busy. very much appreciate the help.

[@jacquacooper]

My question before I get this is…can I use my own models to fracture with this tool? I’m looking to destroy a city.

[@MirVadim]

Yes, but mesh which you are going to fragment shoul not have topology issues like not closed edges (open volume), unwelded vertices and overlapped faces. Otherwise output fragments also will have all kind of topology issues.

[@jacquacooper]

@@MirVadim thank you for the info…strong yes on getting this soon…it’s a big part of what I would love to play in games myself, thanks for making this!
