You need any uv map on the object. Unique UVs projection works fine for most cases

Hi Oleg,

I'm playing around with your great toolset.... and there is a questian?

Is it possible to make Inset Cracks not for all cracks the same? Maybe dependent on distance to a control object?

Thanks for your great work.

greets

Hmmm...I don't think so, but you can try to do fracturing twice ( with big inset value and small respectively) and then just blend point position attributes

thanks for the response!
I tried some setups with momentum and got the cyclic dependencies too.
my intention was to shatter based on the hit impact rather than collision distance (like you did on the sim_topo sample scene).

about the hangs, I'll try on triangulated meshes...should read the manual before posting. I know.. =)

if it keep crashing I'll provide you the test scene.

thanks

No problem, I translated on google. not 100% correct but gives enough to understand...I'm reading right now..

one thing about UVWs and first valids: maybe if you handle the missing UVs in C (IFX Accessor compound), returning a single 3d vector (or 1 item array) in case it has no valid input, we should be able to get the first valid node working.

anyway, its also easy to drop any projection on the mesh before shattering, so just another suggestion.

Haven't found time to play with this yet - shame on me, obviously :ymblushing:

- but is it as far as simulation goes
"physics-engine-agnostic" or would you need something specific to play well with it?

Implosia has no built-in phys engine. I think there are two ways to simulate it - for number of chunks is > 1-2K - usage of mom RBD ( because xsi will die\sleep forever in case if each chunk will become a separated object

) or usage fake pointcloud simulation which controls our shattered geo by point-per-polyisland

Thanks for the info!

Great work!
Can't wait to see the videos!!!!
I am new to softimage... however I use Cinema 4D and Maya.
But this just looks great.
DO I need the ICE modeling tools to run with this....?
I followed your Video on Vimeo
"Implosia FX ( voronoi fragmentation ) demonstration"
http://vimeo.com/27384738

I couldn't follow the steps at the beginning specially when you used the ApplyCaps...
I installed the add-on but no luck finding the Node...and I am running Softimage 2012....
any Ideas?

Cheers
