For this experiment I combined the cell-fracture addon and the animation-nodes addon

for this animation I used the cell fracture addon to break a sphere and made the shards block the light paths of a point light inside a volume scatter shader

For this animation I played with the fracture modifier test build again and added a boolean modifier after the fracturing. This creates an quite interesting effect, because the layers that are created by the boolean operator stay fixed while the fracture shards that happen before the boolean operation slide around.

To run it you need a blender testbuild containing the fracure modifier

For this animation I used two nested spheres and only the outer one has a solidify and a fracture modifier applied

For this animation I tried to apply the fracture modifier to a beveled curve. The fracturing worked quite well, but unfortunately cycles isn´t able to render the resulting shards. So I copied the curve before I break it and converted it to a mesh.

This is my second experiment with the blender fracture modifier testbuild. This time I used the solidify modifier before the fracturing. I also used objects with smooth normal vectors to test the fix normals function - not perfect but works quite well

This is my first testanimation with the fracture modifier testbuild by scorpion81. So far it´s nothing that couldn´t have been created with the cell fracture addon, but the speed of the modifier has totaly blown me away! ITS SO FAST! The fracturing is done before you can blink an eye! Expect more experiments to come :-)

for this animation I played with the blender freestyle lines and a vortex force field
