ahh haa
Just found the undock panels option…..

phew

BUT as for the new icon in my dock ????
what is that all about ?

[Criis Daw]

again thanks…
the job has been postponed so i have a couple of weeks to sort these exploding cartoon lemons..

Have been using the shater thing with custom shapes which is usefull, but does anyone know any tricks to get these custom shapes to change when the eplosion is in motion. I have tried using masks and animating their shape but to no avail.
If i can find a way to do this I will have it cracked (famous last words).

Cheers Rhett,
I am starting to see now how i might acheive the look i want with that tutorial….
But still … It doesnt have the comic/cartoon 2d feel i want .. perhaps a combination of shater and animated mask shapes to get the splats at the end……
Looks like a long day ahead of me

Thanks for the help

(only a little tweak involved)

Thanks to all of you for your help

[Criis Daw]

Thanks for input….

yes we checked on a tv monitor and was fine so long as we kept the background from getting to bright..
