Wow, that looks awesome, I used the Terrain Deformation resource for big explosions on a project back in the day, but that looks WAY better then I ever used it.

Also what type of physics are you using for the box?(movement is pretty good)

I have no infomation on this video at all. lol I just found it on youtube. I'm sure the box could be used in the same way in T3D with Physx

You could fake it by making a depression in the terrain and then putting a static shape in place to cover it. So when an explosion occurs you can just delete the shape and it'll look like a crater was formed by it.
