Using The Shatter Plug-in

Simulating explosions is a popular effect used in creating multimedia, game, film and video special effect sequences. Presenter 3D provides an open plug-in structure in which custom-designed plug-ins produce motion effects such as a person walking, the effects of the wind blowing, and the flocking of birds. These motion effects can be produced simply by applying the appropriate motion-effect plug-in to an object in your scene. Presenter 3D's Shatter plug-in, enables you to create a variety of explosion effects directly on the Digital SoundStage(tm). The Shatter plug-in offers options for specifying the starting point of the explosion, the force of the explosion, and the relative magnitude of the pieces created by the explosion. Coupled with Presenter 3D's Directional 3D Sound, the result is a truly awesome effect. Check the Explosions Tech Report on VIDI's web site to see how too blow a grasshopper to smithereens.
