Blender RBDLab tutorials || Part 1 - Prepare building for destruction (free asset)

Destruction Simulations in Blender: RBDLab addon requires the mesh to be manifold for proper cell fracture. In this tutorial we take an example of a glass building available for free in the BlenderKit asset library to explain this concept. This will be followed by using this building model in a destruction scene using RBDLab addon.

RBDLab addon destruction simulation workflow:
1. Prepare the model for destruction (make sure meshes are manifold)
2. Separate the meshes into meaningful collections
3. RBDLab N-panel linear workflow
4. Scene preparation and Rendering
This project is aimed at developing fairly advanced destruction workflow using Blender, RBDLab addon and Davinci Resolve.
Stay tuned for more RBDLab simulations and tutorials.
