BOOM!!! & Invisible?

Ok I have 2 questions.

1. I'm new to CG or 3D or whatever you want to call them. I was watching different CG movies and noticed when ships blow up they go into a bunch of pieces and I was wondering how to do that. I have Lightwave 7.5.

2.When I load up more than one of the objects from sci fi 3d one goes invisible and doesn't even show the yellow box around where it shold be.

I posted this topic in the Sci Fi 3D Forum but it seems I would get a quicker response on here.

2) wait for the reply in SciFi3D

1) The ship is probably in peices to begin with, it's keyframed so that the peices just fly away from each other. Then people put in laser blasts and so forth.

I personally haven't tried this tutorial yet but it looks like what you're looking for.

If you were using max u could use a bomb space warp.

 

use a plugin called Kaboom! or copy the technique it uses. flay.com
