About Simply Tear
Simply Tear, created by Omid Ghotbi and Vjaceslav T., is a Blender add‑on for generating realistic tearing or sharp cuts on 3D objects. The workflow is straightforward: select the object, draw tear lines, and activate the Fast Cloth simulation to see the damage develop. The add‑on includes multiple tearing methods and presets—Rough, Regular, and Sharp—allowing quick style selection, though the Sharp preset can be performance‑intensive on high‑poly meshes. It is distributed under the MIT license and provides interface translations in English, French, German, and Russian. Compatibility is listed for Blender versions 4.4 through 5.0, and the add‑on can be combined with cloth simulation for dynamic responses. Support and updates are offered for 12 months from the developer.
