Explosion Object

The Explosion deformer explodes an object into its constituent polygons. The recipient object explodes from the deformer’s origin. Drag the orange handle to control the state of the explosion interactively in the viewport.

To animate the explosion, animate the Strength parameter. For a complete explosion, set Strength for the first key to 0% and Strength for the second key to 100%. To reverse the explosion (an implosion), swap the keys around. Implosion is especially useful for logo animation.
