Object breaking in massfx scene

[ngergihun]

Hi ,

I am a beginner in 3ds max and I have some problem with massfx and object breaking. I Have already done a scene where a curtain pushing a vase from the table and it falls down. This was down by using massfx and I baked the animation. I would like to have the vase breaking only when it is hitting the ground. If I make a clone from the vase it will have all the movements. and if I fracture the cloned vase into peaces and set them to dynamic objects they will fall apart.

Does anyone have an idea how to practically make the shattering happen? Use a plugin like RayFire?

I would appreciate your help!

Thank you in advance!

In the rigid body properties you can make your object kinematic until some frame, just pick the frame before it hits the ground.

Thank you, I did it with rayfire bullet, but the idea was that you suggested for me, I turn it to dynamic at a certain frame.
