Mesh Corrupt.

Warp the image on a triangle mesh until it shatters into shards.

Drag to compare. Left: the original clip. Right: the same clip through mesh.corrupt, rendered by the app.

What does it do?

Mesh Corrupt lays a triangle mesh over the picture and pushes its points: displacement, fracture, stretch, noise, then reconstruction. It can use depth to drive the warp. This demo uses the default settings.

Creative ideas

  • Shatter a shot at a hit in the music.
  • A subtle wobble with low displacement.
  • Animate reconstruction to rebuild the image.

How to use it

  1. Open the Effects tab.
  2. In the left rail, under VIDEO FX, click mesh.corrupt.
  3. Raise displacement and fracture; animate reconstruction.

Level: medium. Undo anything with ⌘Z.
