Hey,

So I want to dissolve some geometry into its own polygons and make them float off. I don't want to dissolve to particles, I want the actual polys to float away. I'm working with a shell object with no thickness.
I guess the approach I'm after would be get the polys to disconnect from the main body and act as a pop particle.

Any pointers on approach appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon

So I'm guessing by the lack of response this is not an easy thing to do or a usual workflow?

maybe a video link of what you are trying to achieve? im not sure about what you want

Hi, Ari Danesh uses a facet sop with unique points enabled in his tutorial which may provide some help. https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/a-little-particle-stream/ [www.sidefx.com]

Thanks both for answering.

And thanks Rob, that's exactly what I wanted to do

So I've had a look at the tutorial and run into a few issues.

I'd like to control how my object dissolves. I'm trying to use an attribute called ‘kill’. This is transferred onto the geo by attribute transfer.

I guess the trick is getting one particle per poly over the whole sim. Also, I'm having issues aligning the new primitive driven by the template to the original geo.

I'm really flailing around a little. Any thoughts appreciated.
