Have you ever tried rendering a transparent material that is fractured? How about rendering a fractured geometry before it breaks? This becomes an issue when rendering a destruction simulation with glass-like material, because the geometry looks broken before it actually breaks. This article describes briefly how in the video tutorial these issues are solved.
Read MoreI demonstrate how to use the Shatter tool, RBD Glued Objects, and Debri Shelf Tools to create a destruction scene with a few mouse clicks.

This is a technique I used to produce some variation in the scene of the destruction of a fractured wall structure. The resulting visual effect has a huge hole that gets blasted through the wall and slowly destroys the rest of the wall pieces as the force field grows in its animation.
