Agreed. I went back to 2.79 recently, and forgot how much I like the new UI better. You CAN mix the two, you use "Append" to get objects out of a 2.8 file and fracture them.
IT WILL NEVER BE UPDATED! This world is shit and I hate everything... WHY is the entire community IGNORING the most important and necessary tool of all????? HOW?
Wow, what a GREAT tool. Please be so kind and make a bigger series about that tool. And please do a video about that Smoke/Dust/Debris settings! Thanks a lot for such great software and video!
Yes! This will come. Actually we are working on a new promo-video for FLIP fluids, as well as some development work. This is why no tutorials will be uploaded this month. But a full "how-to" for the helper-addon is the next step ;)
I've had a lot of fun with the fracture modifier and I really appreciate you making this video to show how to use it. But with more complex objects I have had better luck with the cell fracture. Could you make a video about using the fracture modifier with objects that have more geometry? Such as rocks or spheres? I get really weird fractures when I try to use it with spheres with smooth shading. Thanks!
@@camilleboldt Well the history is quite long but basically code and design compatibility. The way fracture modifiers does things is quite different from how core blender is designed.. Also considering how little discussion there has been on the 2.8 port task in phabricator it doesn't look too promising that it will ever make it to trunk. (Well before physics rework anyhow)
OMFG thank you for this tutorial ^^ i played around a bit with the fracture branch some time ago. You can find my noob test animation renders on my channel :D
Awesome video, as usual. Thank you so much for your hard work!!! I've been wondering: Is there any plans for Blender 2.80 compability anytime soon? Cheers.
Yes - but it will take a while, as the official 2.8 is not stable yet. There is a lot to be changed. Maybe not all features will work with the 1st 2.8-versions.
hey awesome people that make awesome addons!!!! ive made a fracture on a complex object im really happy with, i want to export it out of blender and into my 3D engine (NOTCH). ive tried convert to objects and convert to Keyframed objects, but both yeild diffrent simulations then the one i was "happy with"..meaning the sim seems to change when i convert..im probably missing something...just not sure what :)!!! thanks again and looking forward to more tutorials!!!!
Fracture Modifier is awesome!! Is there any way to use it to simulate a car crash in Blender please? I.e car hitting a solid object and denting front/side of vehicle etc please?
@@Blenderphysics-Videos but i don't see any vertex group ....I was trying to apply displace modifier for detailing but in vertex group pannel there was nothing.... please help!!!
Thank you very much for this great and powerfull addon/tool. Really, it is too much to be real. Physics for movies production practically. Just a question. How you make to increase the animation photograms, Because in the frame 250 all stops. Thank you for all.
Most of that I figured out by fiddling with the settings. But the thing I can't figure out is how to make the shards splinter. As in be narrow but long.
@@Blenderphysics-Videos I saw that and I tried it. But no matter which axis I chose or how long I set the splinter length, it wouldn't fracture differently. I made sure after adjusting the settings I executed the fracture. For example, even when I set the splinter length to 5 on the z axis, then clicked execute fracture, the shards were still no longer than they are wide. I will give it another try when I get home from work. Maybe it was glitching and the changes simply weren't taking effect.
@@Blenderphysics-Videos It has been awhile since I tried to use the splitter setting and I no longer have that blend. But I will try it again on a new blend and if I can't get it to work I will send the file.
@@Blenderphysics-Videos I just got home and tried it again and it worked fairly intuitively. So I can only assume the last time I tried, it was glitching and the cache got stuck or something. I have another question. Is there a way to use the grease pencil to create a fracture pattern? If so, do you know of or have a tutorial explaining how. Keep in mind I know nothing about the grease pencil. I have never used it. But I heard it can be done and have seen a grease pencil option in the advanced settings of the fracture modifier.
Hello there. this addon is great!!!!! but I have a question, if I have two independent objects with fractures and that they should interact with each other, when doing the bake should I do one at a time? I have had problems such that in doing so the final simulation is not the same as the one I see in the previews, there are shortcomings in the animation of one block and another ... if someone can help me I will appreciate it. Thank you for this development, you are the best: D
Hi Robert. Yes tthats true: Baking can look different to preview. My Tipp for you is to to use "current cache to bake" - then your preview will be converted to baked frames. Sometimes its required to refracture things or to move something to make the cache actualizing. This is not an FractureModifer-issue but something that comes with the nature of Blender.
ok, but in the moment 0:44 there are a table fallling down, when a ball collide against the cilinders, and then the all is crashing. In the video appear (whit constraints) and i think that example i didn´t see.- Thank you any ways
The only way is to import your scene into 2.79FM, fracture it there, export as alembic and import this alembic into 2.9+ This works fantastic. No native way actually.
The cracks will not be visible when rendered, because all objects are close together. But if it is required to hide cracks (in example when using glas) there are two features called "autohide" and "automerge".
@@RandomUser00025 Take a look to the "fracture utilities" panel! The glass wall is fractured- but using autohide you will not see the inner cracks ;). i.imgur.com/jW4gmhr.png
And, is it completely free, too ;) ? We would also love to see what exact is easier - please share some examples with us - so we can learn from and improve our techniques :) THANK YOU!
Blenderphysics I you know the answer to if it’s free or not lol I was speaking for people in the industry and are willing to invest in there occupation. cinema 4d has a more organized system to complete this task like for instance the cluster constraints with are done by using the hair tool and selecting exactly where you want to break and getting smaller pieces and bigger pieces exactly where you want them which greatly improves vfx directing.
Wow, the way you fracture the wood into splinters, brick into chunk with mortar particularly susceptible is awesome!
I regularly skip the intros of the videos, but this one is epic. Nice tutorial!
Thank you! :)
I can't wait for this addon to be updated for blender 2.8
Yeah I would love to see it going live, I used a previous version and was pretty cool, still though 2.8 should be a must.
Agreed. I went back to 2.79 recently, and forgot how much I like the new UI better. You CAN mix the two, you use "Append" to get objects out of a 2.8 file and fracture them.
github.com/timothy-strange/bullet-constraints-tool This fine person rebuilt it so it's avail now. Been using this with 2.83, will test with 2.9
Correction, this is for bullet constraints addon

Sure! This sounds like a great idea for upcoming episodes!
Magic, as always!
Thanks for these tutorials! It's a very cool and useful plugin, shame it's not in the main Blender application.
Yeah it should! But- it still works good as a free alternative to other software:)
What! Blender can do that! Awesome...
Not the default blender fracture mod is still separate branch from master.. Hopefully we will see them merge in future, though.
@@3Rton Why is it not merged ? :o

You maybe missed to set the threshold to "0" when converting to keyframes ;).

How do I create inner vertex group of fractured mesh ???
The addon does this automatically.

Really, it is too much to be real. Physics for movies production practically.
Just a question. How you make to increase the animation photograms, Because in the frame 250 all stops.
Thank you for all.
In the Szene-TAB -> Rigid Body Panel you have to increase the cache-frames ;). This is part of Blender itself.
Most of that I figured out by fiddling with the settings. But the thing I can't figure out is how to make the shards splinter. As in be narrow but long.
Just use the splinter-buttons on the right side.

Very apresiate your help!!
What exact do you mean? Everything has been explained in this video...
ok, but in the moment 0:44 there are a table fallling down, when a ball collide against the cilinders, and then the all is crashing. In the video appear (whit constraints) and i think that example i didn´t see.-
Thank you any ways
plane is active or passive and what about that cube,active or passive sir ?
As long as an object should move its required to use "active" ... whenever an object keeps being on the same position "passive" is the right choice.
Does it work in 2.8?
Actually not - but may be it will come .... ;)
That Fracture Cosntrains options are on blender 2.8?
No, this is based on a custom 2.79 build
@@Blenderphysics-Videos And no plans for 2.8? :(
@@tebitosan9771 Plans are there, but i think it will not happen soon
please i need help....how do you handle glass materials and simple models like a cuo with subdivision and smooth shading on it?i get weird results
Use "fix normals" in the Fracture Modifier Panel and then refracture your mesh ;)
@@Blenderphysics-VideosIt worked thanks alot
Are you planning on making this addon 2.8 compatible? If so, I'm greatly looking forward to it.
Where's the link at to download your Version of Blender, Looked on your Website but couldn't find it

Is there any way of doing this in 2.9?
The only way is to import your scene into 2.79FM, fracture it there, export as alembic and import this alembic into 2.9+
