This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

So for blends, you could model an orange, then model a copy of it squashed, then key the blend to squash as the "squasher" squashes it....
For SDK's, pretty much the same, but the squash blend would be driven by the translate Y of the "squasher object".
Lemme know if this helps any

FROM an IM:
Well, I guess you could do it that way, but instead of making each piece a rigid body, you could make them goals for a softbody-copy? maybe? might take too long....mumbojumbo_13 wrote on 08-02-2003 06:02 AM:
hey man
i want the orange to splatter on impact with the ground i was figuring that i could do it the same way i blew up the space ship ?
you got any other ideas?
cya
I don't have much softbody experience, but in theory, it should do what you want
TEST:
I just threw my girlfriends luch (orange) off our balcony hehe.., and when it landed, it didn't really rip apart like I thought it would...
It just split down one side, and the "guts" were the parts that were ejected out everywhere...
For those, you could use blobby particles with a few "hero" splatters emitted out from the mid-center of the orange object maybe?
Good luck, sorry I'm not much help...

Select your "Solver" in the channelbox, and try keying these channels for whatever xyz direction you want your "blobs" to go:
-Initial velocity
-Impulse
-Initial Spin
-Spin Impulse
Good luck!
PS- a tip to make your dynamics solve MUCH faster:
In the solver, under "Stand-In" set this to cube.
This will basicly treat your scene as if it were all simple cube shapes making calculation-time SUPER FAST!
...although, if you are working with collisions, it's not very acurate, but in this case, I would use it!
