Nparticles explosion?

[tonyhaer]

Hi there i have a sphere which contains a point light and nparticles as water, i have appied a mia material preset of chrome to it. i have keyframed a sphere which is a passive collider to stop colliding at a certain frame and then the particles start to come out of the sphere shape. i have also added a vortex field to it to make the particles explode out but it doesn't seem to do it fast enough no matter what i set the field to. any ideas how to make it explode out faster? i looked at nucleus but couldn't see how i could make it explode outwards with it in all directions?

Use forces like you thought. Vortex field? Hum, I really would use the Volume Axis field (VAF). Now it has both a magnitude and a value "Away from Center" - crank this number - try 10, then 100, then 1000! Position this VAF in the middle of your water bomb.

If you keyframe the magnitude from 0 to say 10 when you stop your collisions, with away from center value - BOOM! Things should fly away!
