clonewar12345 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I am in the process of making a short film with space fights. If i have a spaceship model is there a way to aanimate it falling apart? I can add the explosion FX in a compositing program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 An idea would be to intentionally make the ship in pieces. That way you can do the explosion in a pose and use sprites for the explosion. Maybe you could even use Newton Physics to simulate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonewar12345 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thanks. That makes sense. But what is Newton Physics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 A free plugin that simulates gravity etc. Search the forum for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonewar12345 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 I found the program...Kinda... Is it a plugin for A:M? If so i went on the websight and could not find it. Is it free? If you could post a link that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl3d Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Its included in v13/14 can't remember if ealier than that and you can use it along with making an exploding version of your model to have it explode on contact wit another object...you switch the regular with the exploding one at the right moment to get the effect. Search for exploding in the forum . Search at top of forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
