PolyFX is a powerful tool that provides the ability to break an object into parts and animate them. It has many options for fine-tuning the animation and several additional tools. A great solution in the production of promotional videos, game development, etc.

Key Features:

  • Modifier with many settings
  • Animation by elements
  • Built-in curve editor
  • Three working modes: Key, Controller and Particle
  • Support for texture maps in Particle mode
  • Built-in tools: Slice Fragmentation, Pattern Fragmentation and Quick Detach
  • Baking animations in modes Controller and Particle
Additional Info: 

The demo version has the following limitations:
