In this tutorial you’ll discover:

  • How to use the cell fracture addon to break objects into pieces
  • Giving those pieces physics with the rigid body simulator
  • Use rigid body constraints to make objects stick together
  • Add the final touches to destruction with particles and smoke

This tutorial contains the techniques and settings that took me over a month to figure out myself. Enjoy!

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
