July 13th, 2008

Here is 3ds Max Tutorial to Simulate Cutting and Cracking Effects Part 3. This Autodesk 3ds Max Effects Tutorial will continue explain how to simulate cutting and cracking effects from Part 2. If you want to back of previous step in Part 2, see “3ds Max Tutorial to Simulate Cutting and Cracking Effects Part 2”. Here’s the Part 3 of 3ds Max Tutorial to Simulate Cutting and Cracking Effects. Enjoy it!

Cracking of Brittle objects like an earth crust

For this part we won’t use the previous steps. Follow these steps:

1) First create a box on top viewport. Give it length 200 width 200 and height 5. Just like a plane with some thickness. Name it “ice”. See the image..

2) Now create another box with width 7, height 300 and length 20. Increase the height segs to 50. Name it crack. Now rotate it 90 degrees, and fit it horizontal. Now apply taper modifier to make the front part narrow. In ‘taper axis’ use primary Z, and effect X. See the image.
3) Next, create a spline on top view. Create it in a zig-zag style, as you would like the crack follow as we’ll use same spline to create the crack path. Be sure not to use corner type vertices as they will create sharp edges, only use bezier type. See the image.

4) Now select the “crack” and add pathdeform modifier to it. Pick the path you’ve created. Now animate it following the path. You can use either “percent or stretch” parameter to animate the cracking effect. At this stage adjust its position over the ‘ice’ object. Try to cover out its height (thickness) see the pictures:

Now select the “ice” box and go to boolean & pick the “crack” now you’ll see the ice getting cracked:

Next we can repeat the same steps, using the X-form to separate the crack. See the image:
