ShardFlow is a powerful addon for creating realistic fracture effects with ease. With advanced tools and one-click customization, it simplifies breakage in simulations and cinematic scenes, giving artists full control over the process—all in just one click!

Key Features:

• One-Click Fracturing: Instantly fracture objects with a single click. ShardFlow automates the entire process, making it effortless to create complex destruction effects.

  

• Multiple Fracturing Modes: Choose from various methods such as vertex-based, particle-based, or even Grease Pencil strokes to control how your objects shatter.

  

  Customizable Fragmentation: Easily adjust the number of fragments generated for each object. Create from 2 up to 10,000 fragments, depending on the level of detail required.

  

• Voronoi Cell Control: Scale Voronoi cells in 3D space to define how pieces break apart, allowing for precise control over the shape and distribution of shards.

• Automatic Collection Management: Automatically place fragmented objects into a new collection, streamlining your scene organization. Customize collection names for easy project management.

• Real-time Fracture: Instantly fracture objects in the 3D view with just a few clicks. 

• Seamless Integration: Located directly in the 3D View Sidebar, ShardFlow blends into your existing Blender workflow with a simple and clean interface.

ShardFlow is your go-to solution for all things fracture!

Happy Sharding!
