Shatter effect -How to make tiles fly away from camera?
Posted by Redgin on August 6, 2007 at 6:59 pmHey, i’m working with shatter effect. But the tiles always seem to come towards the camera. How do i make them go the opposite way?

August 18, 2007 at 9:09 pmThanks for all responses, but I still can’t get this to work :/
When I parent the camera/light to the null and rotate them, the tiles still fly towards the camera. And I followed the instrucions exactly as described.
When setting the gravity inclination to -90, the tiles fly towards camera for a few frames, then they suddenly turn.
And the final version can’t work becouse the tiles simply implode to the middle of the screen, and that’s not really the effect i was looking for.
Have someone got this to work? Maybe someone have an alternative way to do this?
Any response would be highly appreciated.
