Been searching for a way to break an object into its separate polygons where each polygon becomes itself a separate object (retaining its XYZ polygon location).
Thought I could use a separate object by Material ID script if only I had a way of setting each polygon in the Master object to a separate random material ID.
Link in next post – solution.
A link from CGArchitect gave me this:

This script breaks the object into seperate parts (by polygon) which was my original goal – didn’t need to use the random Material ID path.
what’s wrong with edit mesh -> explode?
Thanks for the help – Edit Mesh modifier?
Not sure where to find Explode…
it’s a button at the end. If you use a right threshold it might work.
Thanks lo – found it. Real easy to use – thanks for letting me know this.
