Why You’ll Love It:

• Fast and Efficient: Break any object into 10,000 pieces in under 10 seconds! Speed up your workflow and focus on creativity instead of waiting for simulations to finish.
• Accurate Breaks: Achieve realistic and precise fractures every time, just as you envision them.
• Control at Your Fingertips: Fine-tune fracture patterns with precision, from subtle cracks to explosive shattering.
• Seamless Integration: Designed to work flawlessly within Blender’s environment, allowing you to achieve professional results without leaving your workspace.

Imagine This: Picture adding dynamic destruction to your scene effortlessly: buildings crumbling in a high-stakes animation, glass shattering in slow motion for a cinematic effect, or rocks breaking apart in a detailed game level. This addon makes those visions come to life faster and more accurately than ever before.

Tested by Artists, Built for You Developed with input from seasoned professionals, this addon is robust, reliable, and artist-friendly. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, it will enhance your projects without adding unnecessary complexity.

Make your art more dynamic. Bring your ideas to life. Get the Real-Time Fracture Addon today and break through the limits of your creativity!

Real-Time Fracture Add-on User Guide

Access: The Real-Time Fracture add-on can be found under Blender's N Panel.

Usage Steps

1. Object Selection

• Select a mesh or a curve object with volume.
• Press the Start Fracture button to fracture the selected objects.
• You can perform bulk fracturing by selecting multiple objects at once.

2. Working on Existing Fractures

To edit a previously fractured object, select the relevant object from the Fractured Object list.

3. Boolean Type Selection

• Blender Default Boolean: Fast but may produce errors with complex objects.
• Remesh Boolean: Slower but provides more stable results for complex objects.

4. Scatter Points Settings

• Uniform Scatter Points: Provides an even distribution within the bounding box.
• Axis-Based Scatter Points: Distributes points based on X, Y, Z axes.
• Radial Scatter Points: Creates circular layers radiating outward from the center.
• Manual Scatter Points: Places points based on an external selected object.
  • For manual distribution with multiple objects, select the Collection type.
  • The surface or volume of the selected object can be used to generate points. Enable the Use Volume option to create a volume-based distribution.

5. Cell Settings

• Cell Relax: Smooths the Voronoi distribution.
• Cell Margin: Adjusts the spacing between fragments.
• Cell Noise: Increases irregularity in point placement for a more natural appearance.

6. Subdiv & Displacement Settings

Adds high resolution and detail to fractured objects.

• Enhances the detail of inner and edge surfaces.
• When increasing values, adjust by increments of 1 unit or enter a specific value and press Enter. Dragging with the mouse may cause excessive computational load.

7. Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) Settings

• Customize physics settings such as Deactivation, Activator object selection, Mass multiplier, Friction, and Bounciness.
• The Activator object should be either a passive or active RBD object.
• You can activate fragments by animating the activator object or enable automatic activation through RBD physics.
• Multiple activator objects can be selected for a fracture group.
• Use the Picker tool to add multiple activator objects and adjust the effect range using the threshold setting. Calculations will be performed automatically.

8. Clusters & Constraints

• Add Clusters to a fracture group to create Constraints between fragments.
• You can edit physics settings for the generated Clusters by selecting them.
• Each Fracture group, Clusters, and Constraints are stored in separate Collections, which can be manually selected and edited.
