⁠

Create Sphere (big) → child under Voronori Fracture (in Mograph) → In Soruces tag, delete Point Generator -Distribution (use method bymatrix or cloner instead, which gives more control of animation)

Method 1: Matrix:

In Voronoir Fracture layer, add Matrix, drag it in Source box

→ In matrix Mode: Object → drag Sphere layer to Object box

In Matrix layer, add Random effector → Parameter, position Z: 0cm →

Effector tag → Random mode: Noise; animation speed: 50%

In Fracture layer, Object → Offset Fragments: 1cm (create gap between edge of fracture)

Remark:

Increase matrix Count : 80 make more fractures, but may create flicker in animation → solve by decrease Random → Parameter, Position XY from 50 to 40cm (prevent collision among those matrix objects) →

hide matrix layer

Limitation of this method is the animation looks less dynamic /organic (the shards intersect and float around the sphere, method 2 can solve it)

Method 2: Cloner:

Delete Matrix and Random layer, add Cloner and new (small) Sphere at most top layer, parent over new Sphere →

Cloner menu, Mode: Object, drag old Sphere in Object box → size down new sphere radius to 8cm

In Fracture layer, drag Cloner in Sources box → click on Cloner in the box to extend its menu → Creation Method: Volume, Point Amount: 1 ( to reduce the number of fracture)

In Cloner, add Rigid Body tag (new sphere will just fall off now)

→ Project setting → Dynamics → Gravity: 0cm

Simulate tag → Force → Attractor

→ To Rigid Body layer → Collision → Individual Element: Top Level; Inherit Tag: None

Duplicate old/big sphere on top → Add Collidor Body

(can hide Fracture layer sometimes if want to see smaller spheres movment)

→

Back to Cloner → Transform → position Z: 12cm (so small spheres not touching big sphere, collidor body effect won’t bump the the spheres off)

In Attractor → Strength: 800 (let the small spheres attracted and move around the big sphere surface)

Hide the top Sphere and Cloner layers

Remark:

Increase count of cloner to make more fractures, same as method 1

To change colors of fractures manually:

Untick Colorized Framgments in Object tag of Fracture layer →

choose Fracture layer and add Random effector

→ In Random Parameter → untick Position, Color Mode: Effector Color; Blending mode: Subtract (can play around different modes here) →

back to Random menu, Effector → set minimum value to 0%

Add new material to Fracture layer → Material editor → Color → Texture →

Mograph → Color Shader (for default color) or 2. Colorizer → click on the word → Shader (for customized color)

To change distribution of the color among fractures:

In top Random effector → Effector → Random Mode: Gaussian, Noise, Turbulence, Sorted (can play around), Seed value 12345.....
