Today, I show you how to explode an object in Cinema 4D by first cutting up your object into pieces with a Plugin called Destruction. Then, we will use Mograph 2 MoDynamics to make the pieces fall on the ground.

Thanks to Jonah Tobias for helping me understand the Destruction Plugin.

Thrausi for C4D-R12
Es la evolución de Xbreaker

Hey Nick, i was wondering, what if i want to make this cube semi transparent? Every peace of chunk will be displayed in my render, right? Any suggestions how to make not to?
Is there a 64bit download for the Destruction plugin? Please reply!
Not sure, actually. I think most people are using other shatter plugins now.
Nick thank you for the tutorial very much.
I used the technique mentioned here and did some reverse destruction.
Those who are interested can check it out here:

Looking forward to some critics.
Best of luck to everyone.

Adding a color material shows no cuts in the cube, I added a glass material and I see all the cuts. How can I make it look smooth like glass, then fracture apart?
I’m also having the same problem…the only thing I can think of doing is to make one version that is unbroken and one that is and then comp the two in AE. Does anyone else have a suggestion on this?
Hello! Is there a plugin for version 12? If not, when will be?
is this work on cinema 4d 12? and 12 64 bits? i try but NADA!
Hello, Nick. I have problems with installing plug-ins for Cinema 4D R12 on Win 7. I just copy plug-in destruction into plugins folder and then restart Cinema. Nothing in the Plugins menu. What does it mean?
I’m having the same problem just on mac
Thrausi plugin that A-LX have linked above work great and replace Destruction plugin for C4D R12.

THX!
I have an issue I need help with if anyone is game. I’m trying to fill a sphere with “marbles” and have it fall to the floor and break so the marbles spill out. I’m going for something between glass shattering and an egg breaking. I’d like big enough chunks of the sphere to remain so there are a couple pieces of the ‘shell’ rocking and interacting with the marbles as they roll across the floor. For the life of me I can’t figure out how to do this. Someone please help out?
thank you man..
I need help i install the destruction plugin but when i reload cinema 4D it doesn’t show up in the plugin directory
Guys, for Cinema R12 and higher, there’s a new plugin called Thrausi. It works almost the same way as Destruction presented by the Gorilla but it doesn’t crash. So I really really recommend using that plugin. You can download it here, there’s also a quick tutorial on how it works and how to install it to your maxon folder. Hope you get it working and get cracking at this. http://nitro4d.com/blog/freebies/thrausi-1-10/
My problem is, when I use Nicks tutorial, my cube doesn’t fall, it doesn’t wait for something to hit it, it just shatters like crazy. I’ve tried bunch of stuff and I simply can’t make it work like it should, like shown on the video. Hope someone can help me out here. Thanks guys
Actually I’ve finally got it working. What I did was, well what I didn’t do was, I didn’t um, merge all those fractures in a cube section together. I’ve just added fracture tag and then add dynamics to that and bam, it worked like a charm. Thanks for another great tutorial Nick!
Btw. You could’ve told us you were using that beta method of making slices
with clear edges. This way you don’t get those nasty sharp and almost flat slices. ^_^
Hi,
here is our shatter effects. We use Thrausi in C4D R12 for this little animation.

hi Nick,
first thanks for all your great tutorials !
For me you are one of the best c4D tutorial maker ! yep, really dude !
So, for technical reasons I use actually cinema 4D R10,
do you think this plugin works with it ? Do I put it in the plugin folder ?
Cause I have tried but the plugin does not appear in c4d !
Anyway, have you an other idea to make an objec destructed or in lots of pieces in c4d r 10 ? (the others plugins like xbreaker or thrausi does not work for r10 version)
again : thanks man !
Hello lovely Nick,
You tutorials, and you are all great, but most of us could not get the Plug-in working. I am using C4D R12 and I would be happy if anyone could help us share a plug that will really help us following the teaching.
You are great, thank you for the effort you are making to do all this staff!!
What plug-in specifically?
I think he’s speaking off the Destruction plugin, neither I can get this working in 4D R12 :/ Would be priceless if you had some kind of solution to this!
Hello Nick, I love the tutorial but. It doesn’t work at C4D R13
Is there another plugin for C4D R13 ??
