2D Sprite Shatter Effect

I’m trying to make an effect like this: for an icon (except shards going out in all directions instead of up.

All the info I find Googling this gives 2D sprites exploding or being destroyed with physics which I don’t need.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,

Your attachment image is not showing up.
Could you perhaps describe in words what kind of effect you are planning to create?
At least I understand that you want a sprite/image to split in parts and then the parts move in some manner.

Perhaps you could just make the fractured object manually, especially for such simple case. You could also make a few variations of the fractured object. Then make those pieces move.
