Please I need some help! I'm copying the Destruction plugin into the R12 plugins folder, restart, and doesn't showed up.

I've learned a lot mostly everything just from your tutorials. Check out my shatter effect, i used the xplode plug-in http://vimeo.com/20009760 Thanks for all the help! Keep them coming!!! Hey Nick!

I would like to texture the insides of the broken pieces a different color or texture map. Is it possible or do I use XBreaker for that? thanks Nick Heya Nick,

The reason you can't scrub backwards is not because of the plugin, but because of the dynamics. Since there's no way for the dynamics to predict the animation, you have to start from frame one and scrub forward for dynamics to figure out what's happening on the fly. In order to be able to scrub backwards, you need to cache the dynamics by baking them using the MoGraph Tags > MoGraph Cache tag. You can see Nick cache dynamica in this tutorial at 9:43 -> http://cl.ly/356O In case I wasn't the only noob, I hope this helps.

I started learning c4d last week, and your website has been and always is a great resource. Thanks! Anyways, here is what I ended up with using the method shown above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnHwcuufrAk PS: To get the slow motion effect, hit command + d (control + d for pc), go to the MoDynamics tab and change the Time Scale to something less than one. I used 0.5 for this render. Also, make sure to give yourself enough frames in the project to fit the animation. PSS: I get a weird bug when I use the destruction plugin. Once I have the explosion all set up, and I scrub through the timeline, I can't scrub backwards. I would scrub forward, the explosion would begin, when I scrub back, it stays still, and when I scrub forward again, the explosion continues. Scrubbing back and forth enough times, gets you far past the end of your project frames. I'm on Mac v11.5. PSSS: Nick, have you used http://xplode.valkaari.com/en/xplode.php ? Would you be able to compare, and possible make a tutorial on it, or a compare/contrast video? Thanks! Great tutorial!

Here i found one of the video, i think it's using same plugins and technique. http://www.vimeo.com/12636183 Do you mind in future, doing the tutorial like that one? Thanks Hi Nick,
