Unigine::BodyFracture Class
| Header: | #include <UniginePhysics.h> |
| Inherits: | Body |
This class is used to simulate destructable fracture bodies. There are three patterns of the fracturing:
New surfces that are created when fracturing occurs are assigned their own material and properties.Notice
Fracture body can be used with meshes in form of a simple primitive: boxes, spheres, capsules, cylinders, etc. Complex meshes cannot be fractured procedurally.
Fracture body is, per se, a rigid body and moves according to the rigid bodies dynamics.

Notice
You can call this function only from updatePhysics() function in the world script. Do not apply forces in the update() function, because you will get unstable result that varies each rendering frame.
