3D node
Explode
Pushes every face outward from the mesh's centre along its own direction, by Amount, with a different amount per face set by Seed.
What it does
Explode is a 3D node: it builds, changes or lights geometry that Render 3D turns into a picture. It takes 3D shape in and gives 3D shape out.
Try it
Wire an envelope into Amount so the shape bursts apart on each hit.
