Sorry for that.
I'm going to rewrite it as soon I have the time, this time avoiding
booleans and using the new modeling tools in 4.0.
Ciao

walked that road already, shatter has SEVERE problems owing to the fact
that it relies on booleans, and the resulting 'chunks' are a
bit...well...chunky!
most of the time it fails though!

There's a free script to do this called "XSI Shatter" you'll find it in
the online tools area, under generators (modeling). Just apply the
shatter, then you'll have to work out how ot animate the resulting
parts. Of course you'll also have to hide/unhide at the appropriate
moment the bits as needed.
