Not sure if the title is very clear but im trying to think of a way that an object could break/disintegrate into clean cubes something kind of like in :09 - :11 in this video

for lack of better example.

To be honest im not even sure where to start, Id love to hear some thoughts on key concepts/ ideas that would be behind this if any one has any?

Thanks

Hello Nick,

Take a look here:

in Houdini, try to play with the iso-offset in tetra mesh mode to generate some cubes.

Cheers,

plug your object into a points from volume sop and then plug those points into the right side of a voronoi fracture sop, with your object plugged into the left.
