Destruction

JediKnight2140

is there a way to add some kind of destruction to buildings? Like, say an explosion blew through a wall and left a gaping hole in it. How do I do that?

Currently, at least, that needs an external application or a model that is specially prepared fror that use - Daz Studio itself does not have a destruction tool.

As Richard said, a product actually designed for destruction would be best. Although, there was a plugin/product that did something like this which I forget the name of right now.* Plus other products contain rubble and stuff that can add to the "damaged on purpose" look.

*Edit: I found the product I was thinking of but it was actually a specially made vinette with destruction morphs and a very enthusiastic description.

There are quite a few products in the store and a tutorial too regarding how to make things look damaged or destroyed. And there is also a freebie out there called "Destroy! for DAZ" which says it has "destructable walls and buildings". I won't post a link since it's homepage contains a image that would be against the forum TOS but it should be easy enough to find.

Hi  such details would have to be added to the asset in a 3D modeling program

Gescon can shatter objects inside DAZ Studio:

There are also some pre-destroyed objects in the store, like these, which have both unbroken and broken states:

And all kinds of rubble and ruins that you can find by searching the store for those terms, including this dForce falling rubble:
