    Hi there. Firstly If there is a tutorial on the shatter simulation please point me to it! my questions are quite simple, but I still can’t seem to find the answers.
    I want to start the shatter effect some frames into the layers animation, once the image I am exploding has drawn on. How do I delay the shatter effect.
    Secondly, what is the gradient layer for? I can I use this to improve my shatter.
    Thanks foy your help.
    Sincerely
    Peter

    I sorted it out..by animating the threshold of a gradient layer. Found the Shatter tutorial on this site and am now very content blowing stuff up. hear there and everywhere.

    Peter, I know this post is four and a half years old, but I was just trying to do the very thing you asked and I couldn’t figure it out. A quick google search and lo and behold, a COW post comes up! Thanks for responding to your own question once you figured it out, that’s always helpful and obviously in this case, very useful.

    Thanks Again!
