Re: Exploding fractured mesh

I would advice to use the current version of Houdini. They do enhance it each time, it would be a shame not to use the last one. Other than that, the expressions are really mental. You can speak to every bit of what is in your scene. Of course, you don't "have to", but try considering this as

Re: Soft 2 Houdini acronyms
