Isn't it true that when you make an object explode that you can have control of all of the new pieces, if I am correct then making a relistic explosion would be easy if you don't lock the new pieces of the object to a dummy, just spread them out in difernt places.

hehehe…. What a setup! One of the IPAS routines that we're about to ship is called EXPLODE.AXP. It takes any object and realistically simulates what would happen if you put dynamite inside of it. There are about a dozen parameters that you can tweak, like blast center, gravity, initial velocity, decelleration, chaos, minimum/maximum fragment size, etc. If you've sent in your IPAS card, you'll be able to read all about it next week. – G

Check out Appendix C of the 3DSr2 manual. – G

When you say have you sent in your IPAS card, does that mean the registration card? ANd all these things you talk about, to do things, like the exploder, does it cost money???

The IPAS card is the white card that comes in the 3DSr2 box along with the registration card. It's NOT the reg card. Look around for it. When you send it in, you'll get a catalog of IPAS routines that you can buy (with money). – G
