  • Alright.

  • One more question for R0J0Hound.

    How much would it roughly cost to outsource? Its indeed a textured mesh (like you said) and part of the games economy.

    Hope to hear from you.

    Thanks,

  • I’m not for hire but ideas are free.

    There are some example on the forum of fracture by just creating premade pieces and destroying the original object. Also there should be an example somewhere of object slicing. Maybe in a fruit ninja question.

    The meat of it is being able to clip a polygon by a line, polyline or another polygon. That basically amounts to keeping a list of points of the polygons and calculating intersections of line segments and testing if a point is inside a polygon or on either side of a line. You’d want all the polygons to be convex

    To draw the polygons you could use a drawing canvas or use a distort mesh. The distort mesh is better in that it has collisions and is textured.

    After that it’s just a matter of defining how you want it to fracture. Start with just drawing the fracture pattern you’re after. Then you could just use the polygons from that to do the clipping or you could try to procedurally try to generate similar patterns.

    For a super realistic fracture you could define the density of the object as a varying noise texture then doing some kind of pathfinding through that to make the crack. But that’s probably slow and excessive.

    Thank you for sharing these insight! I will save them for later use with a dev.

  • Sounds interesting. Can you tell us more about the project? What do these objects look like? What should the fracture line look like? What happens to the fractured objects?

    You're mining rock or ore to find rare earth elements. So the object stay on screen as long your batch isn't done mining. Some fractions reveal to gems and so on.

  • Hi,

    I searched far and wide and before I animate it or hack it I wonder if someone can help with breaking or cracking a given object.

    The fracture should start specifically where the user clicks the object, then these smaller pieces can be fractured too.

    Is this feasible and if so let me know your budget.

    Thanks a billion!

  • Hey hey hey,

    Just saying hello and exited to learn making games with C3 and mixing in some ideas.

    Cheers,
