Xenofex 2 - Shatter
A look at Alien Skin's latest update to the popular Xenofex plug-in suite

Shatter
The shatter effect breaks your image into pieces and simulates the dimensional effect of shards exploding off the page. Controls allow you to adjust the piece size, thickness, tumble, time lapse, background color, shadow opacity, shadow blur, and 3D lighting. The random seed button lets you experiment with a variety of effects. By creating a sequence of images using varying time lapse settings, the shatter effect can be used to generate frames for an animation.
