I might try to progressively “activate” the individual particles/chunks by using a “test in null” or volume.

Well I've got something going, but I need the simulation to be a collapse, like huge icebergs crumbling, but the simulation starts with a 'pop', so all chunks explode outwards initially. I'll keep digging. Any thoughts?

But he then uses Momentum to do the simulation. Is it not possible to use the factory bullet rigid bodies?

You could try that for shattering. http://traypen.com/rr/bak/iamvfx/ImplosiaTools25.xsiaddon Best would still to use Momentum but as you might not want to spend money on that one you can try breaking your pieces with implosia and then simulate with with bullet in ice. 2015-02-02 17:46 GMT+01:00 Chris Marshall <chrismarshal...@gmail.com<mailto:chrismarshal...@gmail.com>>: the Shatter script?

Plot it and in the Animation editor you can play with the timing.

This is kind of a quick n dirty effect, but I need to sort it pretty quickly. I'm not running any plugins here so could do with some quick thoughts on how to breakup a mountain very randomly into lots of chunks, then make it collapse (I can probably do that bit). Any thoughts would be great. Thanks Chris
