Method 

Using Cinema 4D to make the model of eraser, and play around with leap motion in Unity.

Respond

At the start, I was planning to use the leap motion to allow the player to click on the model and it will explode with the ink on the ground as particles. The reason I want to make it interactive with the object, it's because I'm thinking to change the ideas for my studio 2 project. However, Im not good at coding so Hizi helped me to code allowed the player to using leap motion to click on the model and exploded with particles. 

Then I feel like I didn’t do much in this project, so I try to code click and move in the Unity. But it fails and it didn’t work. I end up making the animation in Cinema 4D, search on youtube and see if they're any tutorial that can make the eraser exploded. 

Finally, I end up with this animation look like the eraser been used and return back the actual form.

There is a tutorial that I found on Youtube.
