Overview ¶
This tool is used to emit particles from fractured rigid body objects as they separate from each other. Emission sources are created along the edges and surfaces of the fractured rigid bodies and emit debris particles for a specified duration after separation has been detected.
This tool creates three nodes in the obj network.
See this example file.
Using Debris ¶
-
Create an object and apply a
/nodes/sop/break.html or 
Shatter to it using the tools on the Model shelf. -
Convert the object to an
RBD Fractured Object or an 
/nodes/dop/rbdglueobject.html. -
Click the
Debris tool on the Rigid Bodies tab. -
Select a one or more rigid body objects and press Enter to confirm your selection.
Understanding the network of nodes ¶
This tool creates three nodes /obj network.
Debris Source ¶
This is where the debris comes from, and controls when the debris sources are active.
Tip
Consider limiting the debris source to interior edges and surfaces of fractured geometry through the Group parameter on the 
Debris Source node.
Debris Sim ¶
This where the debris simulated, and where you can modify the animation.
-
The
POP Source picks up points and uses them as sources to generate particles. -
The
POP Replicate node controls the speed and direction that the debris will be birthed.
