    I need to know if it is possible to split a large ball into two equal smaller balls and how.
    Thank you

    This is a technical question, not a game design question.

    The Mesh API documentation has an example that animates vertex positions:

    http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mesh.html

    Animate your sphere into a dumbbell, and then into two spheres. Once the single sphere has split into two spheres, you'll still have one Mesh, so possibly hide that Mesh, and replace it with two new sphere objects. Read up on mitosis if you need inspiration.
