How can you make a bunch of objects explode? I don't mean fracture, I just mean shoot off in random directions. I want to know how to do this for a rigid body simulation. So how can this be accomplished?

4$\begingroup$ @TARDISMaker ? I don't see how this is asking for a in-depth tutorial.. If any kind of tutorial is considered off-topic, then this site doesn't make any sense ;) $\endgroup$– gandalf3 ♦Apr 29, 2015 at 1:44

$\begingroup$ Okay, I guess we just have different places where we draw the line. To me it still seems a bit too tutorial like for a question and answer site. I guess I'm more strict about it than I should be than. $\endgroup$– TARDIS MakerApr 29, 2015 at 2:14

5$\begingroup$ if you ask me, explosions should be on topic either way, just cause they're so dang cool. $\endgroup$– ruckusApr 29, 2015 at 3:44

- Add Active Rigid Body Physics to your cubes.
(I created the cubes with 3 array modifiers applied, then separated By Loose Parts, and finally moved the origins to the geometry.) - Add a force field in the middle of the stack of the cubes.
- Increase the strength of the force field.
- Press play or AltA and watch the explosion.
Quick gif showing the whole process.
Final result

$\begingroup$ This is very useful, but I can't get the exact effect you had. You are using Blender 2.74, right? Strength = 900 didn't seem to cut it. $\endgroup$ Apr 29, 2015 at 2:28

$\begingroup$ Never mind. I found a strength that will work. Thanks a lot! $\endgroup$ Apr 29, 2015 at 2:36

2$\begingroup$ @TheMinecraftMan757 make sure you have applied the scale of the cubes. $\endgroup$– PGmathMay 1, 2015 at 23:18

$\begingroup$ It works but I also tried to make an explosion with particle effects. The force field is messing with the particles so is there a way around this? $\endgroup$ Mar 27, 2021 at 21:20
