In-game Car model question

krayzie777

Hey guys, If I was to model a car for a game so relatively low poly, and the car is destructable (eg. glass shattering) is it better to model the windows/windscreen as a seperate model or some other way?
Because I want the glass to shatter and break.

Thanks heaps for your time!

One way... make intact windshield a separate entity that can be hidden. At impact, hide windshield, unhide a pre-created damaged windshield entity that has jagged edges around the window frame, and also spawn a particle system to eject glass-shard-like particles. Check out Flatout2 for example.
