BodyFracture Class
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.
