|-> The reason that the 'explosion' looks like it does in your example is
because Exploder 1.36 takes into account the location of the objects axis…
This is not documented because it really doesn't work correctly yet… You
will get funky looking results if the axis is off center relative to the
object..<-|
Hmmm…..I checked, and the axis of the text is dead center. I guess I'm
getting a weird result because "it doesn't work correctly yet" <g>. Guess I'll
have to wait 'til ver1.37! The strange way that the word I'm using explodes was
really evident when I checke the wireframe animation from the top view. The
ends of the word were exploding first (front and backwards), and the pieces
moved towards the middle of the word, The pieces passed each other, and then
went flying off in the other direction! I guess you can leave that in 1.37 as
an "undocumented feature". <g>
Great program Rob-keep 'em coming!
