you could make a model, then make a second version of it destroyed (in pieces or shards) then your game code could swap objects after something causes it to "break". this is how entities are handled in the hl2 engine, but they use 2 or three "steps" and each item can have physics applied.

or your code could deform meshes by altering vertex data but that could get messy

maybe theres other ways as well

what do you mean "limbs" do you mean the bits that fly off the building or something

yeah. all models are sets of limbs, your dbp code can manipulate the whole object and the limbs of the object separately, or (in the case of anims) call a set of anims to make things fly off, spin, fall w/e.

If I put 4 cubes in a scene in a modelling program (not touching each other), and exported it to .x for example, that could be considered a "model" or a "mesh" or a "polygon mesh". The one or more objects in the model are treated by dbp as individual "Limbs" (as they are actually individual meshes in modelling app as well). If you rotated the Object in dbp all four cubes would move as if they are one object. If you rotated a Limb, only that limb would move as if it was its own model.

Limbs are nothing more than what makes up the model object, but is a dbp term really, not so much a modelling term.

Since this conversation has come up, what about the CSG commands? You could randomize the effects that way, or is it too slow in realtime? Unless of course they were done beforehand.
