Important: You’ll need Xbreaker plugin for this tutorial.
Step 1
Create a cube with dimensions set to 260 x 7.5 x 45 cm.
Step 2
Select this cube then open the “Xbreaker” plugin.
Step 3
Use the settings below for plugin. Then click the “Break Now” button.
Step 4
Create a “Cloner object” and make the new “Cube_XBreaker_15″ object, which was created by the plugin, child of cloner object.
Step 5
Change the settings which was highlighted in object tab of the cloner object.
Step 6
Copy that cloner object several times and reposition them to create a new cube like below
Step 7
Create a floor object and assign a “mograph” tag for it.

Step 9
Make it editable (Shortcut “C”) then choose the polygon tool to select the faces and choose the live selection tool and change its mode to “soft selection”
Step 10
Choose some faces and manipulate them to create an irregular shape just like a rock.
Step 11
Click with right mouse button over the platonic object and add a “phong tag”
Step 12
Choose the subdivide tool and subdivide the rock object twice.
Step 13
Create a fracture object then make the rock child of it and add a mograph tag to fracture object.
Step 14
Select the mograph tag of “floor” object and change the Friction section under collision tab to “1″
Step 15
This time choose the mograph tag of the Fracture object, which contains the rock object we have created, and change the value of “Rotational mass” from 100% to 500%
Step 16
Choose any of the cloner object then copy it and scale down its size. Put them to inside of the any main part of the wooden box to hide. Through these little pieces you’ll get splinters of the broken box.
Step 17
Position the rock object right top of the box like below
Step 18
Clik the “mograph” tag of the rock object and under the “dynamics” tab turn on the “Custom Inital Velocity” and set the same values you see below.
