volumeBreaker is a volumetric geometry fracturing tool that will instantly create sub-geometry within any mesh - geometry that perfectly fits together and fills any given volume. With volumeBreaker Cebas brings a Hollywood quality destruction tool to 3ds MAX. volumeBreaker was developed in consultation with, and to meet the very exacting demands of, VFX artists working on multi-million dollar movies - because of this, volumeBreaker truly is a production proven tool.

volumeBreaker can be applied to virtually any mesh you can create in 3ds MAX, including meshes that are 'lazy' and not a fully enclosed volume. volumeBreaker includes algorithms that intelligently attempt to compensate for any errors within the mesh; errors such as unwelded vertices and open edges that can be the result of sloppy modelling or due to importing from CAD software or other sources.
The sub-geometry that volumeBreaker creates are individual elements within the parent mesh, accessible by applying an Edit Poly or Edit Mesh modifier on top of volumeBreaker; allowing you to further modify and control the end result.
