ok just for closure i suppose, I contacted the guy who did the edit and he told me this is what he did to get those particles
“I shattered a cube via thrausi and imported it into E3D, enabled multi object to separate all the individual pieces and animated it via multi-object”
I think this seems simple enough so I’ll givbe it a go and get back to you guys if I struggle with anything their.
Thanks dudes
