This is amazing! Thank you very much for sharing this! Very well done tutorial and explanation!

[@dasnico13]

thank you!

[@Ngis]

Just a question... Can you guys do one about animating the data sub operators.?

[@WisperedShouts]

I thought mP shape-s "by density" is supposed to calculate the mass by volume. So it does what you did with the data operator manually. Am I wrong?

[@TheCgfriends]

mp Shape give a uniform mass to all the pieces that's why i used the data operator so the mass of the piece will be according to their volume

[@JohnnyRand0m]

You are correct mp Shape->By Density does calculate using the volume. You would use a Data Operator if you wanted to included something like a multiplier for the mass.

i did follow the Tut exactly but i am having a problem one of data operators wont connect (in data operator 002 output new 001 refusing to connect to point position 4) can you help plz

[@vandammage1747]

Thanks for this video. I wonder if this would be easier accomplished in thinking particles or houdini. Anyone now the answer to that?

[@TheCgfriends]

Van Dammage Houdini is the god of particles lol. This effect is probably could be done using just out of the box tools

[@vandammage1747]

yes I think so too.... I'm a long time max user, love the software but for FX houdini looks great. The question is more like would something like this take fewer steps/faster to create in Houdini? The fragmentation is not that important it's the final part in pflow and data operators I'm curious about.

[@TheCgfriends]

Van Dammage yes it extremely easy process in Houdini

[@vandammage1747]

CGfriends thank you for that clarification. I'm gonna dive into houdini soon, love how everything is connected unlike 3ds and maya

[@TheCgfriends]

Van Dammage Houdini is my main vfx tool .i would love to do tutorial about Houdini ,but there’s not much interest in it.because most find it too intimidating and complex

[@chove93]
