8 Ball - Short FX shot
-
20 Mar 2011Hey everyone!
Here's a short FX shot I made during the past week in my spare time. It took me about 8-10 hours for the whole thing without counting the render times which were pretty high. I've been very busy lately with a lot of work related stuff and school so a few days ago I decided to try and make a simple FX shot by the end of the week just to take my mind off all the other things. It's very simple but I'm pleased with how it turned out. I was actually thinking about making a tutorial on this type of animation and I'm curious if anybody here would be interested in this sort of thing...
Here's the animation:

What did you use for breaking up the mesh? -
21 Mar 2011Thanks!
I agree about the fragmentation pattern being too artificial, I fragmented the mesh using RayFire. The latest version is the first one to feature radial fragmentation, but right now it really doesn't have a lot of control over the shape other than some basic parameters. The next version, which is due in a couple of days I think, is about to change that though
If I had to do it again I would probably still use rayfire but I would fragment the mesh using a custom made spline, I think that would yield more realistic results... -

Cheers,

25 Mar 2011I think if you made the pieces smaller it would look not that uniform maybe. but nice render!
