    How do you prevent particals when using the shatter effect from flying toward the camera so much.

    I’m trying to compostite breaking glass using shatter and the scene is a building about 100 feet away from the camera. I just want the glass to shatter and drop to the ground, not fly toward the camera so much.

    Any settings advice would be appreciated. – Carl

    Carl –

    I believe that if you turn the gravity setting up (and of course make sure that the gravity setting is in the right direction for your scene), and turn the strength setting of the shatter down, you will achieve a fairly realistic glass shatter.
