Cell Fracture (Blender extension)

GPL-3.0-or-later commercial OK Credit: Not required verified 48d ago Go to source

Blender's long-standing fracture tool, now distributed as an official extension. Select a mesh, run Cell Fracture, and it splits the object into convex pieces, which is how most pre-broken debris for games is made. Several Godot destruction add-ons, Godot Destruction Plugin (Jummit) among them, expect their fragments to come from here.

Notes

Install it from Blender's Extensions panel (Blender 4.2 or newer); it is no longer bundled as a built-in add-on
The GPL covers the tool, not what you make with it. Fragments you export from your own meshes are yours, as with any GPL editor (see docs/licenses.md)
Version 0.2.1, maintained by "Community", with copyright held by ideasman42, phymec and Sergey Sharybin
Keep the piece count low for real-time physics: tens of rigid bodies, not hundreds. The Godot C# add-on Destructibles suggests 5 to 50
