ANIMATED EXPLOSIONS

ONE ROW PER EXPLOSION

Add a row for an object or a collection, then dial it. Every kind of row uses the same controls, every value keyframes, and nothing is applied until you say so.

• Per-axis explode: X, Y and Z, each both ways or one way
• Three spread styles: Even Spacing, By Distance or Along a Curve
• Shatter a single mesh: broken up in Geometry Nodes instead of a simulation
• Text, curves and rigs: letters, splines and bones come apart too
• Six presets: a whole keyed shot in one click
• Effect region: only what an empty covers is thrown
• Random: vary rotation and scale piece by piece
• Pinning: hold objects, faces, curve points or bones still
• Driver empty: one handle in the viewport instead of sliders

FROM ASSEMBLED TO EXPLODED

Select your parts, hit + and drag one value. Drag back to zero and everything returns exactly where it started.

AS MANY EXPLOSIONS AS YOU LIKE

The + button adds the selected objects or the highlighted collection, and every row is independent. A tick box parks a row at rest while keeping its settings.

EVEN SPACING

Equal steps along the axis, the clean look of a technical exploded view.

BY DISTANCE

The outer shell pulls away while the core stays tight, for a blast look.

ALONG A CURVE

The pieces travel onto any curve one after another, like a train, and follow it live as you edit the curve. Growth, Amount and Grow From control the run.

SIX SHOTS

Explode, Blow Up, Forward, Scatter, Shockwave and Tornado. Each one scales to the row, so it reads the same on a bolt and on a building.

You can also key any value yourself, and each row keeps its keys on its own empty, so the Timeline shows only the row you have selected.

NO CELL FRACTURE, NO SIMS

Point a row at one object and it breaks the mesh into pieces inside a Geometry Nodes modifier. The mesh underneath is untouched, and the result renders and scrubs without baking.

EVERY LETTER A PIECE

Each letter of a text object becomes a piece, and the text stays editable underneath.

SPLINE BY SPLINE

A curve object comes apart spline by spline and stays a curve, bevel and all.

BONE BY BONE

An armature row explodes the rig, whatever is skinned to it follows, and the bones keep their own animation.

Built for rigs where each part is its own mesh on its own bone: vehicles, robots, machinery. A character skinned across many bones stretches rather than separating when its bones are pulled apart, so treat a character by what it is made of. Several objects: put them in a collection and use a collection row. One skinned mesh: point a mesh row at it, and it shatters while the rig keeps animating it.

A BLAST WITH EDGES

The Effect slot turns an empty into a spherical falloff: pieces inside are thrown and pieces outside stay still. Move or keyframe the empty and the blast travels with it.

RANDOM, NOT UNIFORM

Raise Random and each piece takes its own rotation and scale, with a Seed to shuffle. It never shimmers as you scrub.

OBJECTS, OR SINGLE FACES

Select what should stay put and hit Pin Selected. It works on objects, on the faces of a shattered mesh, on curve points and on bones.

ONE HANDLE IN THE VIEW

Add a driver and a box empty wraps the target. Move, rotate or scale it and the row follows, and nudging the sliders moves the empty to match.
