RBDLab. Rigid Body Dynamics addon for Blender
Realistic destruction and physical effects
RBDLab is a highly advanced add-on for Blender developed by B3FX Studios, designed specifically for simulating realistic destruction and physical effects. It provides users with a comprehensive suite of tools to fracture, destroy, and add intricate details to objects within Blender, making it a go-to solution for VFX artists working on destruction scenes.

Key Features of RBDLab
Fracturing Tools
RBDLab allows for detailed and customizable fracturing of objects. Users can create complex fracture patterns and enhance them with internal detailing, enabling realistic simulations of broken or shattered materials.
Destruction Simulations
The add-on excels in creating realistic destruction effects. It includes tools for simulating debris, dust, and smoke, giving users the ability to create scenes with a high level of realism.
Metal Deformation (MetalSoft Module)
A standout feature introduced in RBDLab 1.5 is the ability to deform metal objects realistically. This is particularly useful for scenes involving crashes or impacts where metal objects bend or break.
Cloth and Softbody Simulations
RBDLab integrates cloth and softbody simulations with rigid body physics, something that was previously difficult to achieve in Blender. This integration allows for more dynamic and interactive simulations, such as cloth tearing or soft materials being impacted by rigid bodies.
Versatility and Customization
The add-on is designed to be user-friendly, with a non-destructive workflow that allows for easy adjustments. Users can animate practically any setting, giving them total control over their simulations.
Community and Support
RBDLab comes with extensive documentation, tutorials, and a supportive community on Discord, where users can get help and share their work.
