Glass Shatter Simulator
The following tool is written for users to simulate a glass shattering effect. Through the user interface, four types of glasses could be chosen between: Soda Lime, Safety, Plate, and Pyrex. The shapes of each type of glass shatter is calculated by the material's density, and is then translated into be cutting onto polygonal surfaces. To further visualize for cause of destruction, an option of an object to penetrate the glass and where it would be positioned is also included.
Video demonstrates through the use of the UI to create four types of glass shattering effects.
