OCD Interface

To access the OCD add-on's user interface, press N on your keyboard. This will activate the N-panel in Blender where you can find the OCD 2 tab.

OCD n-panel

To damage an object using the OCD add-on, select the object and click Make Damage.

Note

You can click on Make Damage multiple times. Each time, it will add another modifier (layer) with its own parameters.

Make Damage

When you click on Make Damage with the object(s) selected, an additional OCD Control Panel will appear, along with a new Modifier in the Modifiers tab. This Modifier includes several parameters that allow you to tweak the damage to your liking.

OCD UI

Warning

To use OCD, the object should be "watertight," meaning it must not have any open polygons. For thin or long objects, it is recommended to use a Reference Scale Object. Scale should be applied.
