I was checking Martin Coven’s DataChannel tutorial. He had a brilliant trick to explode polygons.
- Apply Chamfer modifier.
- Set Amount to 0.0
- Set Selection to All Edges
- Turn off Min. Angle
- Turn on Open in the Open Chamfer
That’s it!
Also, don’t forget the new Data Channel preset, Explode Element, which is added in 3dsMax 2024.2.
