I have noticed int he EXPLODE ipas demo's that there is a BOX around the exploding objects. Now first off what do those boxes really do, and second i have tried to recreate those on my objects and it ends up thinking the boxes are actually a part of the exploding object… Help is welcomed?:)

>>what do those boxes really do<< Jamie, those boxes (and their corresponding objects) are AXP Boxed Objects and help to orient the particle system to it's surroundings, giving you control over the system's various functions. A thorough explanation regarding these issues can be found in the Yost Group's Particle System IPAS disk (on which Explode.AXP is found) documentaion starting on page 10. Have fun, -Alan
