Wood Breaking

[aneirin 0]

can anyone suggest a good way to make realistic wood cracking and splintering?

it doesn't need to break apart fully, just crack and deform. I have been trying to do something with the thrausi plugin but not had much joy so any other method is ok too.

I'm hoping to get something similar to this:

any suggestions would be appreciated

You could do it with Nitroblast if you made custom cuts yourself.

I guess the nest step with Nitroblast is for some other breaking presets like splintered wood for example. I've seen it in other breaking plugins.

Double that for Nitroblast - great plugin for just 40€!

not asleep, just trying my best to ignore all the cool things that distract me from what I'm meant to be doing : )

does nitroblast have the ability to break things but still keep the pieces somewhat attached? this is the problem I was having with thrausi, I can cut up all the cracks and splinters to look right but then they just move apart and gaps open up. I need something that will stay as one object but crack in the middle.

Yep. Nitroblast can do that.
