  • Fracturing Text problem

    Posted by Rick Morton on January 10, 2020 at 4:42 pm

    I’m trying to have an object crash down on some text and have the text break apart like crumbling rock. I’m using Voronoi fracture on the text. I’ve tried MoGraph text and extruded spline text but get the same results. The text crumbles, but not in 3D pieces. More like pieces of paper. When I fool with the Voronoi settings I get weird results with the material on the text. I’ve just placed a standard “rock” texture on the text. I’m sure I’m just missing something, but can’t figure it out. I have the dynamics right. The object falls, crumbles the text and the text hits the floor, but in paper pieces, not chunks.
    Any idea will be appreciated!

    in the Caps tab of the MoText or the Extrude check “Create Single Object”

    Thanks! That seems to work. Always something simple…. unless you know how to do it! Thanks.

    However… the pieces still look like they are hollow, not solid crumbles. ???

    shouldn’t be…. did you check Hull Only and set a Thickness earlier in your attempts to get solid pieces? That would make pieces look hollow.
