Unlike the standard "Shatter" effect built into After Effects—which uses straight lines and often looks mechanical—Voronoi-based shattering mimics the chaotic nature of real-world physics. It creates a cellular fracture pattern that is visually distinct, avoiding the "computer-generated" look of standard geometric shapes.
