great tutorial!! but i have a question, when you fracture an object does it create new UVs? i want to fracture an object with already a normal map attached, will this work or will it screw up the UV?

@72dew Thanks for your comments and questions. PDI maintains the UV layouts of all objects fractured. Also, you can choose to have an additional material assigned to the interior cut faces prior to fracturing. Please be sure to subscribe to our channel to get the latest updated videos.
