CrackHead leverages the technology of United, Letterbox Animation Studios groundbreaking integration of Illustrator and

mental ray. Taking this integration still further, CrackHead utilizes Illustrator artwork as the basis for exploding

geometry, to generate crack, shatter and fracture patterns.

Utilizing Illustrator and its drawing capabilities, CrackHead allows you to create artistic patterns of any shape and size.

With United’s technology, you can achieve a scaleable image no matter what size the object to be ‘cracked’.

Taking these Illustrator scalable patterns into United, and managing the breakage via our plugin for your 3D application, you

can create great looking cracks, shatters and fractures. Any adjustment is simply an adjustment of your Illustrator artwork.
