Right now I’ve found that putting a bend deformer on the pieces works best. I’m also using cluster deformers to animate the vertices around the pieces that are cut away. I’ve been looking in to using cloth because it tears very nicely but I still haven’t been able to find a good way to tear away large chunks of cloth. It always seems to separate into small pieces.
