Glass Shatter

[Pyrokinesis]

Blast code has a good one, i would also reccomend using the shatter effect in maya. There are three types each with their own specifications. Check the docs, they are well documented.

Word of advice, the shatter effect generally leaves you with one massive piece, the only way to avoid this is to re-shatter the large piece. To acomplish this you must delete the node created by maya which is will be attached to the geo. If you open up your hypershade, and delete that node, then delte history, you will be able to re-shatter the larger pieces, and get a really nice shatter effect.

After you get a good shatter going on, add gravity, or any relavent fields for your particular effect and a glass shader.
