\"poor_mans_mesh_exploder_unity_1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Always wanted to try making exploding meshes, finally had time for a small test version..<\/p>\n

Info<\/strong>
\n– Shortcut to easy mesh (fake) destruction: Take each face, Create small 3D mesh piece for it (extrude\/add vertice(s) backwards from face normal), Add rigidbody, Done!
\n– Used this code for slowly fading out<\/a> the sleeping rigidbody pieces<\/p>\n

TODO:<\/strong>
\n– Add some randomness to piece sizes\/count? (now it gets slow if you explode the default sphere..too many faces)
\n– Add tangents, so can use normal maps (UV’s are already taken from source object)
\n– Add some option or fixed mat\/color(?) for UV mapping the cut side..
\n– Adjust extrude size calculation (so that you could automatically split the already broken pieces..but not enough faces?, so just explode it to particles..)
\n– Make some building or wall to explode? (but must be invidual pieces..and gets difficult if should remove parts from original mesh instead)
\n– Add explosion force to hit position?<\/p>\n

– Same as demoscene, just not all the textures are included
\n– Not much comments or instructions..see demo scene how it works
\n– Warning! It will not work well with different shapes!! Default cubes are best (or low poly sphere, not the default unity sphere)
\n– Sample sphere fbx model included (as in demo scene)
\n– UV mapping is not perfect on the exploded piece back side..
\n– at line 80: float extrudeSize is the mesh piece size which is created
