Hello guys, I'm about to start effect that is a gunshot piercing a couple of glass lights bulbs I'm following this reference link   I've already done a of couple rigid bodies simulation, but specifically glass, the render shouldn't display fractured object beforehand. It should spread, staring from a impact region. I think it should be a mask revealing the edges of the piece,  but I'm not sure how to tackle that. please help me

would be nice if you could send us the scene if you have the time to simplify it .<3

I wanted to share a quick visual comparison between the SideFX recording of my Houdini HIVE Tokyo 2025 session "Adaptive Fracture Synthesis and Propagation in VEX using OpenSubdiv Limit Surface Derivatives" and my own local QHD capture. The SideFX version is completely fine for watching the presentation, but my recording was captured directly from my display source with no compression loss, so it preserves a lot more clarity across the entire presentation. This includes all geometry details, colors, UI elements, and text. This is one of the main reasons I am preparing my own edited cuts. The attached images show the difference between the two versions. The full END-JPN cut will be posted next, followed later by the English-only version. These edited cuts will be available exclusively to paid members on Patreon.
