What is Burst Addon?

Burst Addon is a Blender addon from EdenWeby 3D for creating bursts of flying debris. A single setup can serve as water splashes, ground burst explosions, snow bursts, paper bursts, and other debris effects. The developer describes it as simple to use and customizable.

The addon comes with 12 presets and fully customizable settings, and each burst can be placed anywhere you want it in the scene. Custom debris lets you build effects from stones, snow, papers, water drops, or anything else you choose. Smoke can be added manually. The water splash example covers splashes and explosion blasts, while the paper blast option handles weightless items like papers, balloons, and leaves.

Tooltips appear when you hover over a button, and documentation is included. Burst Addon lists compatibility with Blender versions from 2.9 through 4.0, and it's released under the GPL license. A demo video is available for a closer look.
