the scene is a computer monitor whose glass pane gets blown outwards due to an explosion that occurs inside the actual monitor... ...i've gone about it all sorts of different ways such as applying a radial field to poly plane that i shattered... ...but i really can't seem to it right... ...any feedback...recommendations...or tutorials people know of would be REALLY helpful....im still new to dynamics and as of now i feel like im running blind. thanks alot. -ps....if you would like to see the scene in progress i posted some screens on a previous post i made called "particle streak compositing"
