Hi,
I have a xmas ball which is a sphere + a small metallic thing on top like a tube. And i wanna fracture it as one single object, so as it drops to the ground it breaks. I want the upper tube to be a single piece though.

I can manually drive the voronoi in order not to fracture the upper part.

But when it comes to clone many of those under a voronoi generator, I cannot quite control the fracturing and it seems that is breaking the tube as well. While ideally i would only want the sphere to be broken. Any thoughts? Or should i just make everything editable and manually do this?

Thanks

Hi Nomanslife81

Would this setup work for you?

Would you mind to share your project file, just the essential parts?
(If you attach it here in the forum, it needs to be zipped and smaller than 4MB.)

I download only from DropBox, Amazon, Adobe, Google, or Apple clouds. However, I can provide you with an upload link.

Cheers

Yea it did! thanks

You’re very welcome, thanulee, thanks for the reply.

I explored this question a little bit more, and here are two tiny screen captures.
One showcases the use of Fields (falloff) to glue a specific area, and the other one presents a setup idea.
