Hi Art. Thanks for your interest in Exploder. >>Could you respond with a brief synopsis of what that option (particles) actually does?<< When you enable particles, Exploder allows you to load additional objects, and will place a copy of these objects at each vertex of your model that you are exploding (or at the center, depending on the option you select). The idea behind this basic particle implementaion in Exploder is to allow the user to create a complex 'explosion' with a minimum of effort. Also you can create the effect of an object exploding into solid chunks, etc, etc… really cool with Gravity enabled. The best way to get a feel for it is to create a few animations using _simple_ objects (like cubes) and then you'll be able to see what is going on… Hope this helps, Rob
