Hi, i have question about something. Im trying to explode a 3d mesh of the galactica.
What im trying to use is the PArray thing. It works good with basic object like the teapot, but when i use is on a mesh it just selects one piece of the ship. Not the ship as a whole. So can anyone tell me what im doing wrong.
Here is an example of the teapot.

See it looks like glass is breaking or something. Im trying to get the more chunky effect.
EDIT:Here is a link to an exploding planet with shockwave tut that should be what you need to achive your effect also on that web site if you look to the left and click on autodesk 3ds file there are like 40 pages of tuts for max if you should need any other effects look there.
Hope that helps
Just grouping all parts together probably will make all parts explode but move the exploding pieces all to the center point of the group which probably is, what u showed in the second posting.
I'd suggest you apply an edit poly modifier to the main body of the galactica mesh and attach all other parts. Then apply the bomb modifier to that edit poly part.
Of course I might be totally wrong though. Hope it helps anyway.
