General Guide
Tear Painter is a geonode setup that uses vertex groups and UVmap to create tears in a mesh.
UV map needs to have a default name: “UVMap” for this tool to work. Also make sure that UV islands are of proper size, don’t overlap and that the object has correct scale and rotation.
Layers of detail
Painted weight in Tear Vertex Group will automatically create 4 layers of detail that can be controlled separately in modifier settings.
Setup
Drag&Drop preferred preset onto the object in 3d viewport.
Presets are variations of Tear Painter differentiated by default values.
