One thing worth noting about this setup is that you can use MOPs Explode to convert each polygon face into a packed fragment with an intrinsic transform, instead of using the Primitive SOP. This means you'll have an easier time dialing in rotation and scale, since each primitive will actually have a persistent transform.

Dude. That’s awesome. I’ve admittedly never looked into the MOPs explode node.

@@ProfessionallyIncorrect It's very handy for exactly this sort of thing! Check the example files... you can transfer the source object's local orientation to the exploded pieces so that it's much easier to explode "outwards" along the original normal axis.

Thank You very much!

That's so cool buddy. Thanks for sharing.. As a suggestion can you please do a tutorial series on all the MOPS nodes? That will be of great help.

I usually use a point vop to transfer back the point animation to the polygons (importing primitive pos and point pos animated from 2 input, making subtractio and adding back to original pos ). i have to try this primitive 2 input. At first glance it seems slower. But I will try it. Thank you. Ok i have tried and is much slower with the "primitive node", from 5 to 7 times slower the the Vop version.

You've actually run the performance monitor on it? I haven't seen any difference really.

@@ProfessionallyIncorrect maybe on a medium-low mesh you don't notice the difference, but if you raise the number of polygons the difference is huge. however I did not want in any way to belittle your technique. just wanted to be an opinion. thank you.

Oh no. You’re fine. I haven’t tried a performance test and am legitimately interested in seeing if it’s faster

Haha. Idk why. I always use it as my placeholder attribute.

I am having problems with my primitive node :(. It really fucks up my whole geometry when adding tje wrangle to the second input, dont know what is happening....
