How to smash an object and emit debris

• Create a model of something to smash.

• Use either the Break or Shatter tools on the Model shelf to cut your geometry automatically.

  The break tool cuts your model along a jagged line one time, whereas the shatter tool cuts your model along a jagged line multiple times.

• Use either the RBD Fractured Object or RBD Glue Object tools on the Rigid Bodies shelf to turn your object into a dynamic object.

  The RBD fractured object tool will make your model break apart with very little force, whereas the RBD glue object tool will hold your model together until a strong force is applied to it.

• Select the RBD object and click the Debris tool on the Create Particles shelf. This will emit particles from the edges of the separating pieces.

• You can then replace each particle with a shape or image using the Instance, Render, or Sprite tools on the Drive Particles shelf.
