Hello.
How can i explode my polymesh object according to “islands” of polygons
Before

After

In this example i did that selecting and extraing manualy each “island” . I wounder if i can do it easly for complex objects with many polygons.

try this

Hi. Thanks for responde.
Its seems to not work for me. It hang my xsi for ever .i had complex broken glass like polymesh element with around 1300 polygons. Each polygon is isolated from other . I`m going to try it on triangles,quad and smaller ones.

This script can be slow for the large number islands on object

Yeah its working. thanks a lot.

You may also want to try this. Its encapsulated as a command, shows up under Model>Modify>Poly.Mesh, and takes in multiple input objects.

Hello is this script the same on making the polygons shatter / explode?

If you’re referring to JP_Separate, no it not. Seperate takes mesh islands that are part of a single mesh object, isolates them and separates them from the original mesh. Say you have ten spheres which have been merged to a single mesh. You wante to “unmerge” the mesh, thats hat separate does.

If you want to break every polygon apart on the mesh, select all edges, execute Model>Modify>Poly.Mesh>Disconnect components on the selection. Now run JP_Separate. The result will be numerous objects(individual facets) which you can “explode” with ICE or other methods.

Ok thanks man’
