Working With Glass In Houdini | Resolving Issues with Glass Fracturing

RBD Connected Faces geometry node
A common issue with glass fracturing occurs when you have interior faces with detail in pieces of glass that haven’t broken apart. This can cause problems in rendering, since it’s a transparent surface. To resolve these types of issues, you can apply a RBD Connected Faces SOP after fracturing. This node will record the primitive number and distance to the opposite face on the inside faces of the fractured geometry. You can then use this information to decide whether or not to dissolve any interior faces on pieces that haven’t broken apart by using the Delete Connected mode on the RBD Disconnected Faces SOP.
