An example of reduction applied to a non-manifold plane object with complicated boundaries.
Shatter
The Shatter deformer has no cyan box. The recipient object shatters into individual polygons, which
then fall to the ground. Drag the orange handle (this may be difcult to see when the Strength is
set to 0) to control the state of the shatter deformation interactively in the viewport. The shattered
polygons will fall parallel to the Y-axis of the deformer. Consequently, the Shatter deformer is usually
placed at the bottom of the recipient object. When Strength is greater than 0, any part of the original
object below the deformer’s origin will be shifted to the origin height (Y=0).
Cube with 5x5x5 segments. The same cube with a shatter
deformation.
