Particles question (exploding bricks?)
Hallo everyone.
My scene involves a front shot of a man hitting a wall and brakes a piece of it. (I used a composed wall with before and after the hit)
now im trying to make some pieces of the wall fall out or explode out. I remember seeing a tutorial about this once with screenshots.. of a wall beeing broken into pieces with the particle system in after effects.Can anyone please help me with this ? how do I make that happen?
Thanks in advance !

Thanks , I think ill get along with the settings there and make something “worthy”.
one question thu. My “exploding piece” is a diff layer, smaller than the whole composition.
and when I make it explode , the pieces get cut on the edges of the “exploding piece” insted of continue to fall to the background composite. Any solution to that ?Thanks again.

You need to precomp your shatter layer into a much comp, so that when you apply the shatter to that comp the pieces have further to fall.
Alternatively, you can use the Grow Bound filter, but both these solutions will alter your shatter settings as Shatter attempts to break up the whole layer, which is now much larger. It’s easy to fix by reducing the strength and radius of the Shatter Force.
Hope that helps
