houdiniwhy Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi. i am building rbd destruction simulations. i am trying to use Switch node to erase the frag line from fractured obj before rbd simulation started. what kind expression should i use with the node? or is there better way to erase those lines?

Noobini Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 are you thinking like glass...you don't want to see anything (edges) broken UNTIL it is physically broken ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobini Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 it's with H18 tho...do you have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 so for less than H18, can't you use the old switch trick ? ie. use orig geo before break, at break switch to the fractured geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
