  • Thrausi and Fracture for Design NOT Explosion

    Posted by Lillian Young on February 9, 2012 at 3:53 am

    A while ago, I found a tutorial on using the Thrausi plugin with C4D’s Fracture to make a design. Unfortunately that link is now dead and all video tutorials that come up are how to make text explode.

    I can’t remember how I did it, but maybe you can help me?

    I would break text using Thrausi, then use the Fracture object to make the pieces separate, but not explode, thus making a really cool design with text that looks like it’s in pieces. But I cannot remember which steps I took to do this.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Using: Mac, C4D R13

    you’d probably have to turn off the dynamics tag that Thrausi puts on to stop explosion. Then enable the Fracture objects that are generated that contain the parts and use an effector to move the pieces a bit – assuming I understand what you are after.

    This is what I’m trying to achieve. The solid text is in front, and the fractured text (using Thrausi and Fracture) is behind.

    I created and love the look but can’t for the life of me re-create it now.

    Might be a little late now, but I think this is what your looking for?

    PERFECT, Jeremy. I had the Effector wrong. It’s Random. Awesome. Thank you!!! I’m saving that video.

    I just tried to find Thrausi or Catastrophy but the https://www.nitro4d.com page is not up anymore. Does anyone know more about this? Is it discontinued?

    Kind regards,
    Andreas
