Wondering if anyone here can offer some advice on the Cell Fracture add-on.
I am trying to fracture some very high-poly triangulated 3D scans but it seems that the Cell Fracture add-on takes it upon itself to simplify the base mesh on it's own and the resulting fractured objects are very low res.
I looked into this and I see that about 2 years ago, the bundled Cell Fracture add-on had a lot more options than what are available now in 2.91. Specially, it appears that there was once a 'Simplify Base Mesh' option in the Cell Fracture setup (along with numerous other options) but they are no longer present in the add-on.
Even though it would appear that the 'Simplify Base Mesh" option has been removed, is it plausible that the add-on is applying this feature during the fracture process?
I would like to avoid Cell Fracture from simplifying my mesh. I am also curious about why the current version of Cell Fracture has fewer options available than it appears to have in previous versions.
Example:
My original mesh before fracturing:
The result. A decimated/simplified low-poly mesh:
Current Cell Fracture options (v 2.91):
Previous Cell Fracture options (v 2.8 - notice the 'simplify base mesh option, and others):
(as seen in this youtube vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5guh5naT-XM)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
