I really like your attention to detail, going so far as to add a background to make it seem as though you were doing this on a table-top in your room, as seen from the reflective balls and other materials. Very nice.
Phymec, I love you. This is one of the greatest developments in blender I've seen in a long time. But now you've hooked me, and i want to know and see more! Please give us an update! A release date, month, year? An update video of new tests? Even just a comment would be greatly appreciated! The blender community is watching!
It kinda feels like everything is too fragile. It all breaks so easily. Have you tried to make something a little tougher or more complicated, like say, a concrete pillar with rebar inside?
You can't do that. Even in 2021 all tools are still so limited that t hey still use algorithms that were invented since more than 10 years for everything based on physics.
Very nice results, for a 2011 vid. Still, I find that rocks and white things are all breaking in very small pieces, of the same size. The broken parts should be constituted of more various shapes and sizes. I mean, the shock at one point shouldn't transform the whole object in tiny cheese cubes. The nearer to the shock point, the smaller the pieces and vice-versa.
Blop Blup They are indeed very similar. Especially the triangle shaped piece becomes very quickly recognizable and ruins the 'illusion' every time I see it. I wouldn't call them "very small" however, in fact I find them to appear quite a size too large. Also, some of these 'materials' seem way too fragile to me. Quite dense-looking rocks/objects shatter into a million pieces while being hit by a relatively slow moving object, or even from just falling off a surface. Could have also used some minimal soundtrack. 10 minutes is quite a wait for a video with fairly predictable scenes and slow-motion repeats.
10 years sounds about right...That's a lot of processor power for just a few objects right now. Fully holographic television is in the works too so maybe we'll see this a little sooner.
You could very easily do your own. It's really a lot more helpful knowing how to make one yourself than having someone else do it. Blender isn't too difficult to learn if all you want to do is physics simulations. You can download your own font, run the cell fracture add-on (look at some tutorials), run the simulation and render it.
I use 3d Max 'cause it's what I learned, and now it's free to students, but I have tried Blender and have to say it is really great to see how open source can be just as good if not better than products that cost thousands of dollars.
Mmm, it's soo pretty! I hope that we get to see this in a Fallout-style slow-motion cam in videogames soon. I mean, the sheer amount of explody and gory awesomeness that one could obtain using something like this would be pretty incredible.
How did you get the objects to spin like that? I understand how to set everything up, but I don't quite know how to give an object any velocity in terms of rotation.
Which ever works for you best. I tried both 3ds max and blender and I like blender more. For me it feels more intuitive to use. Also there are lots of blender enthusiasts that create wonderful tutorials (not that 3ds max hasn't got them, I'm sure it has).
Yes I totally agree. And another problem is that if for example I drop wine glass with leg colliding first, then in 3D it usually fractures at the collision area (First leg, then stem and finally bowl, but in real life it fractures at weakest area first wich is usually stem.
This is freaking beautiful. I keep seeing these gen seven consoles promising particle based physics in their games, but I have yet to see one deliver. Maybe PS4 will have it.
It is a solid object before impact. On impact it dynamically fractures the object with booleans using voronoi patterns based on the impulse at point of impact. So it's not prefractured
Obviously it's experimental and has been under development for many years now. The first computer's were not what we have today, some stuff still needs to be fixed, but I'm amazed at how well it is progressing.
Hey Phyemc, a question; were the objects pre-fractured before hitting the ground, or was it a solid and then fractured when hit with the object/hit the ground?
I was thinking the same thing. Remember people: the length units are decided by your gravity units. So if you set gravity to 9.8, then the length units are meters.
dude , never destroy your name :P your videos are somewhat relaxing , ofcourse like any lab , to be able to do simulations u gotta have the equipment,jelly!
Depends, if you want true realism, the go with LuxRender. If you need complex lighting the go LuxRender (it can be faster then Cycles in a number of instances) If your doing animation with not too complex lighting, then Cycles will be faster. A complex lighting example includes caustics/refractions through glass, indoor lighting with small or hidden light sources and things where the light has to bounce of many surfaces to reach the camera.
I'm a an environmental/biology science teacher using voronoi diagrams to demonstrate epidemiology, health, and cell structure. I have physics students in my class (same period, 3 sciences) and I'm struggling to connect this. Do these break apart according to voronoi patterns? Hoping for some context so I can engage ALL of my students.
Lol most of the chunks look the same, but you can see some differences (not many). The glass was my favorite. Even though this is an old test I am glad that we are moving forward in tech.
How did he do that that The horse does not break Into all pieces because a part stays intact I know how to cell fracture and these stuff but i cant find The option to "connect" pieces Pls help
Agreed. Its really an incredible tool he's made here. it usually takes me a while to render things as im using a macbook pro and typically render in cycles with 50-150 passes ;) worth it though
How did you get the Potato rock to fly like that? Was it keyframed to move towards the bar? If so how do you do it and make the physics actually take into account the speed and orientation instead of dropping straight towards the ground?
I really like your attention to detail, going so far as to add a background to make it seem as though you were doing this on a table-top in your room, as seen from the reflective balls and other materials.
Very nice.
Oh god, watching the ceramic Horses's leg break in the slow motion scene was just breath-taking. Great!
Give it another 25 years and this will be the standard for games. Damn the future's going to be awesome...
More like 3 years
that is standard already -_-
I mean, shitty phone games will have this technology as standard. Not talking about the best of the best triple A titles, that's not the standard
I don't think it would take even 10 years for a mobile game to have physics like this.
I'm writing this from future: it's not.
2:17 Chained Chalk - Can anyone explain how to fracture while swinging?
The glass effect is very good, well done!
this is literally the best video of all time, no competition .
Holy s**t, i loved that glass break down at 3:42... Totally awesome.
I was hoping for a combination but it still show how they work, amazing.
Phymec, I feel that you'd be great at designing new and innovative torturing devices. :)
Didn’t think to see you hear
pro trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Dallas Gannon Yup, I have been watching on flixzone} for years myself :D
@Dallas Gannon yea, been using Flixzone} for months myself :D
It's all very impressive, but when the first part of glass sheets shattered - my jaw dropped.
Amazing!
NASA called. They want their computer back.
Not really. This should be achievable on a fairly high-end PC.
Joshua Rage NASA called. They want their joke back.
*I bet this started rendering when we launched CURIOSITY!*
ROFLMAO! BAHAHAHAHA (Usually the kinda jokes I tell ruin dates with women.
***** DAAAAANG SON!
Florence Burkey I know right. ;)

I really loved the multiple layers of light from 7:50-8:00!

This is amazing, the dry wood part voronoi-fractured my mind. Great job !
Play O Fortuna while watching this. It's a lot better.
Nah man! play Ave Maria! xD
Jóhann Østerø You, sir, are a genius!
Жээюждммюююююббббббббьбюю
Uggirrr ctgsysdggd
Levi Patras nj
absolutely beautiful. I can't wait for these physics to be implemented on a large scale in video games!
I agree!! Im from the future :D
Thats why i like Blender
I must say, that dry wood splintering was impressive!
How far into the future do I have to look to see this successfully employed into a game? Like an open-world/sandbox type?
I'd say 10 years at least
Alexandre Boucher red faction guerrilla dose something similar its the best i have seen so far
10 years sounds about right...That's a lot of processor power for just a few objects right now. Fully holographic television is in the works too so maybe we'll see this a little sooner.
mike shea Red Faction did it really well. The Force Unleashed series has cool shattering and bending too.
10 years is ages though :|
10 years may be a long time to wait but do you really care that much about having this in games? I mean what about gameplay and stuff?
the fragments even get out of focus when they get closer to the ''camera''. Very lifelike!
Parts are slides infinitely. increase friction if there is..
The last one was so awesome, totally not expecting! congratulations
Someone should add soundFX to this video... so that I don't have to keep making them with my mouth! "ssshhBOOOMmm!"
Incredible power of open technologies, well done.
I guess tutorial is needed
I can make
oh yes! i have waited so long for something in blender that is comparable to rayfire. AMAZING!!!
Only if this kind of video have sound..
it would be more entertaining
your tools are amazing :D ive been watching almost everyvideo youve released and every one amazes me!
8:43 "I came here like a wrecking baaaall!"
Ew stop that shitty song in my head.
I love the reflections of "people" and "cameras" you see in the "room". Attention to detail FTW.
Listening to Fennesz while watching.
4:00 Z-fighting detected. That's a bummer.
Truly wonderful work. It had my full attention all the way through!
is it just me or does this look a little bit animated?
This is an animation.
... You must not like research.
It's amazing how realistic computer animations are getting to being able to trick someone into thinking they're real.
the glass one was super amazing, all of the are special, i loved it!
new dubstep minecraft logo yey..
Please no.
Some tutorials on this would be... AWESOME!!
my favorite blender video until now. thanks
TUTORIAL PLZ!
@otakuadd Yes! That's one of the reasons I released the voronoi fracture and shatter source code (link in description).
New course, guys: Modeling chess game pieces in Blender:
www.udemy.com/modeling-chess-game-pieces-in-blender/?couponCode=TrailerYT
I've been trying to find this for MONTHS
Wow!! Beautiful renders and awesome physics!!

You can download your own font, run the cell fracture add-on (look at some tutorials), run the simulation and render it.
Amazing can't wait for this to be released. So excited.
From what I see you can achieve similar results with both. Blender has a very advanced interface and it's free so I think that wins.
I could watch this all day..
Guys watch this in 60fps (2x speed) It is AWESOME especially at the slow mo parts!
I use 3d Max 'cause it's what I learned, and now it's free to students, but I have tried Blender and have to say it is really great to see how open source can be just as good if not better than products that cost thousands of dollars.
The horse' face breaks before impact at :59 - (This is very good stuff.)
Me: its 3 am you gotta sleep
5 am: *VORONOI*
beautiful crystalline shatter forming
Mmm, it's soo pretty! I hope that we get to see this in a Fallout-style slow-motion cam in videogames soon. I mean, the sheer amount of explody and gory awesomeness that one could obtain using something like this would be pretty incredible.
This was done with blender .01X It only took 10 years to render it.
At any rate, NICE WORK!
I remember this when i first watched this when i was 5
Really great looking simulations, you must have a beast of a render-computer! :o
These are not animations. They are physics simulations. There are no keyframes afaik, just initial parameters.
Okay, I did not know, thanks! :)
Olav3D Tutorials
No problem, I was worried that I was sounded like a smartass. :)
The simulation still has to render which can take hours.
+Stephen Mark 20 seconds each frame
This is actually really easy to do if you know how, but still time comsuming and AWSOME :)
The glass one is especially amazing!
I'm showing this to my kids as soon as I get home. All it needs is some music.
Most realistic thing i have ever seen in blender
Well all i can and will say is........... Bloody amazing work mate...
Najlepszy film dotyczący animacji, jaki widziałem!
Awesome! Could watch that all day.
I think a saw this 7-8 years ago and now i'm studying blender.
How did you get the objects to spin like that? I understand how to set everything up, but I don't quite know how to give an object any velocity in terms of rotation.
Which ever works for you best.
I tried both 3ds max and blender and I like blender more. For me it feels more intuitive to use. Also there are lots of blender enthusiasts that create wonderful tutorials (not that 3ds max hasn't got them, I'm sure it has).
Its insane how realistic people are making these engines/ simulators these days.
Understatement of the century.
Totally awesome! My jaw dropped at the wood fracture!
Wow, thanks for the reply! I just re-read my comment and it sounded like I was bragging. Your videos look awesome, keep up the good work!
This is brilliant, phymec. And the Lux rendering looks great. Do you use Cycles now for rendering, or are you staying with Lux?
Wonderful result. Speaks for itself.
I don't have the words to describe the beauty.. Must. Learn.
how did you animate the sphere that is breaking? (or the fractured object at 7:51)
Yes I totally agree. And another problem is that if for example I drop wine glass with leg colliding first, then in 3D it usually fractures at the collision area (First leg, then stem and finally bowl, but in real life it fractures at weakest area first wich is usually stem.
This is freaking beautiful. I keep seeing these gen seven consoles promising particle based physics in their games, but I have yet to see one deliver. Maybe PS4 will have it.
the legend says it's still rendering...
so I understand you used blender for this, but what did you use to create the fracture?
render engine?
Is SLG better or faster than Cycles? I tried it about half a year ago but didn't quite like it as much back then as I like Cycles today...
Look at the gold ball at 2:43. it's reflecting something on the other side of the scene. I like that.
It is a solid object before impact. On impact it dynamically fractures the object with booleans using voronoi patterns based on the impulse at point of impact.
So it's not prefractured
These all look amazing! I wish my computer (craptop) could hande making these sorts of animations.
I find this really satisfying to watch for some reason lol.
Obviously it's experimental and has been under development for many years now. The first computer's were not what we have today, some stuff still needs to be fixed, but I'm amazed at how well it is progressing.
It's all up to the person that authors the split seeds. if you want to see more realistic and logical fractures, you can do that.
wish C4D had a plugin with this may break options, incredible work
Hey Phyemc, a question; were the objects pre-fractured before hitting the ground, or was it a solid and then fractured when hit with the object/hit the ground?
No need to wait! The next gen consoles and Nvidia GTX 700 series is here!!!
I was thinking the same thing. Remember people: the length units are decided by your gravity units. So if you set gravity to 9.8, then the length units are meters.

How do you make it so that the already partially broken pieces of object don't show the fractures? I can't figure it out for the life of me!
ProCreeper 2000 It's probably a tiny margin and an obscene amount of physics checks per second
can't wait for this kind of physics in games.
How did he do that that The horse does not break Into all pieces because a part stays intact
I know how to cell fracture and these stuff but i cant find The option to "connect" pieces
Pls help
Agreed. Its really an incredible tool he's made here. it usually takes me a while to render things as im using a macbook pro and typically render in cycles with 50-150 passes ;) worth it though
3:42 - Imagine this technology in Call of Duty games! It'd cause a revolution in the series! Ultra reallistic window breaking carnage!
