Watch this video recorded at GDC 2025 to explore the evolving Chaos Destruction system in Unreal Engine.
The Chaos Destruction system is a toolset that empowers artists to create dynamic destruction by defining how geometry fractures and interacts in simulations.
Using tools that fracture geometry, define clustering models, and leverage strain evaluation, destructible assets respond to environmental forces, enabling realistic and controlled destruction.
Focusing on the latest features in Unreal Engine 5.5, this talk examines cost-effective methods for destroying geometry collections without excessive field usage, leveraging anchoring directly from the Fracture Mode and using Niagara Data Channels for gameplay interactivity.
You’ll gain insight into propagation techniques, including break and shock propagation, and learn new workflows for enhancing destruction mechanics with improved simulation tools.
Whether you're anchoring assets, manipulating strain values for precise control, or building gameplay-driven destruction, watch this video for practical guidance on using Chaos Destruction to its fullest potential in Unreal Engine.
