You need to create an object that has inner walls and outer walls. One way to do that is to create two smalls, with one being slighter bigger than the other. Increase their segments a fair amount before you make them editable because you lose the “render perfect” function of the primitive sphere.

Select all the polygons of the inner sphere and reverse the normals. Then multiselect both objects in the Object Manager and right click. Choose “connect objects and delete” to get a single object.

Now you should get the proper refraction. Before you essentially created a crystal ball so the upside view of the sky was physically accurate.

The only way I know of is to animate a light or lights to get the effect. Shouldn’t be that difficult. Use colored lights with Inverse Square falloff.

I’d play around with the hair mass, rest hold, and drag parameters.

I would suggest you look at the TP Move On Spline preset that’s located in the Content Browser’s Studio>Presets>Thinking Particles Presets>Setups>Interaction folder.

Pyrocluster doesn’t seem to support GI. I think you’ll have to fake it with a colored light if you want to go with Pyro. You’ll also have to enable scene illumination in the Pyro material.

Ah, you need to check the video tutorials that come with the plugin. If your object has a normals tag, delete it first off. Then there’s a few things you need to do:

1. Go ahead and break the object and then go to the Nitroblast Object (below Main Pieces) and remove your original object from the Nitroblast heirarchy. You can now delete the Nitroblast object heirarchy;

2. With your skull object selected, open the Nitroblast plugin again (if you closed it before) and go to the Styles tab. Click the “Bake Normals” button;

3. No go back to the main tab and rebreak your object. With the parent Nitroblast object selected, go to the transparency tab in properties and make sure the “Enable” box is checked.

That should get it looking right.

What’s wrong with the Nitroblast result?

The way I do it is to use a fracturing plugin to break up an object or objects and then use dynamics to let the object(s) fall into a pile. The plugin I use is called NitroBlast but there are a number of options and some of them are free (Thrausi for example: https://nitro4d.com/blog/freebie/thrausi/ ).

Does it work with the default Formula Effector equation? If so, it must be something to do with your equation or syntax.

You can use the mograph Formula Effector in Deformer>Object mode.
