In this Blender tutorial, I’ll walk you through a fun and creative way to break apart objects using a powerful built-in add-on called Cell Fracture. This tool lets you shatter any model into realistic-looking pieces, making it perfect for destruction effects, animation, or even just experimenting with cool visuals. What’s great is that Cell Fracture is already included with Blender, you just need to enable it!
I was inspired to explore this method after attending a session with the Philadelphia Blender Meetup group, where someone demonstrated how versatile and fun this tool can be.
