It is a big difference to remove an objekt and create some ph-"body parts" in the death sequence instead of moving and controlling several objects as one zombie model.
Look at zapans videos.
Sometimes when he fires with big guns, the body explodes into peaces.
The head effect is made by using the new "vmask" effect, my opinion.


What I make is controlling several parts of limbs as one model. So I have the possibility to remove one part. Big disadvantage of this method... fps hungry, as zapan said. So I can not show 10 models at the same time with the possibility to build up one model with 11 elements. Zapan want to show masses of zombies, so he must reduce all his effects.

edit... if you want to check this out... go to my thread...
several limbs to one model
