    I just thought before i spent A LOT of time doing what im about to do the only way i can think of i thought id see if there was and easier way…I have a polygonal object ive cut up a bunch with the knife (its actually the letter “S”). And i want to be able to just make it sort of explode where i cut it…but im really not going for an “explosion”, i want the S to be in tact and then all of the sudden all of the pieces kind of seperate outwards in their own direction, but still in tact enough to recognize the S, like that abstract geometry letting fad thats going on right now. I know i can kind of accomplish it with pFragment in thinking particles, but i home comp doesnt handle that so well. I was planning on saving all the pieces as selections and doing what ever i need to seperate them and fill the whole left…anyone have any other tips for me?

    Hey Eric,

    Another idea might be to cut the S up in Illustrator and then extrude in Cinema and then use Mograph with a random effector? Just a thought?
