Use Twist to twist the clusters about the Y-axis of the exploding object. Use Variation to vary the twist
for each cluster.

The Explosion deformer explodes an object into its constituent polygons. The recipient object explodes
from the deformer’s origin. Drag the orange handle to control the state of the explosion interactively
in the viewport.
The Explosion object does not support vertex maps.
To animate the explosion, animate the Strength parameter. For a complete explosion, set Strength for
the rst key to 0% and Strength for the second key to 100%. To reverse the explosion (an implosion),
swap the keys around. Implosion is especially useful for logo animation.
