Flying body parts animation after the explosion

Ho4uK

Hello!

I'm here for advice. I created the attack animation for the game. Kamikaze's dynamites explode after he drinks blood of the victim. I created two rigs with different geometries.

1. solid rig with solid geometry for animation before the explosion

2. detachable rig with detachable geometry for animation after the explosion

At the right moment 2 rig replace 1 rig.

Here a question: how create a realistic flying body parts animation after the explosion? And how to make it fast and simple?

Here the attack animation we talking about

I have tried Maya ragdoll:

created collision geometry

hinge constrained them

constrained controls to collision geometry

and tested this simulation. To buggy. Geometry can't to calm down, constantly moving.

Here the video

I tried to use Maya bullet ragdoll. Too complicated for this complex skeleton.

I can make video of my rig, if you need it.

Thank you for your attention.

Replace your collision geometry with boxes or box-like shapes. This will help it settle after simulating.

I'm using 3ds Max. To do this I use the default ragdall tool, and then change some hinges to detachable. But I always use box shapes for settling.

Thanks for your reply. I will try to use box shapes.
