I built the emit srt-matched instances compound a few years back prior to momentum and implosia entering the scene. The idea was to pre-cut geometry using pre-ice scripts that are probably still around (though later I began to use Houdini to make fragmented models, looked better.) the compound then simply makes I standing all the fragments easy for use with standard ice RBDs.
Today I too would just use MoM/implosia, but it's not difficult to old-school shattering, just irritating . :) On Oct 16, 2012, at 7:22 PM, Adam Sale <adamfs...@gmail.com> wrote: > momentum and implosia... done.. > You can break up with ICE > http://vimeo.com/28138992 > > but you will need to extract the islands individually to run with vanilla > bullet rbds.. > And ICE shatter has issues with complex shapes, lots of concavities. > > Which is where Implosia shines. > > The default shattering with momentum is ok, but pales next to IFX > the two plugins should really become one, so interdependent they are. > > Andy Moorer has this ICE plug thats pretty cool > > Emit SRT Matched Instances > > http://andy.moonbase.net/downloads > > could provide useful for you... > > Adam > > > > On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 12:56 PM, Stefan Andersson <sander...@gmail.com> > wrote: > The hours you spend on trying to get that to work you could have spent > on buying a Momentum or ImplosiaFX license :) > > Here are two things you can do. > > 1.)
