What effect does the Maya shatter create.

in maya there are 3 types of shatter
-surface…broke the surface in pieces whit or whitoud extruding the resulting shards
-cracks…like surface but implemet also only cracks line from a selected vertex
-solid shatter…whit an apply interior material …solid shatter in maya have a strange issue about history cheking…you have to tweak a bit the mel code to make it works

the output can be:
shapes,only cracks on surfaces,rigid bodies or softbodies or in case of cracks and surface shatter also sets of points whitout break up the object

I think all 3 can me easily done in hounini…sum][one have done an otl than is really similar to maya solid shatter but really more time consuming

In maya solid shatter can be replace whit a really good plug-in called Blastcode .

ops: sorry for my poor english
