I'm trying to composite, me smashing a floor with my fist. I'm using 3d max to make the effect of the floor breaking. I was wondering if anyone has any helpful hints how to make the effect of a powerful impact. I tried setting up a partical system to give the effect, but it didn't have the effect that i wanted. Maybe I'm not setting up the partical system right.... Does anyone have a tutorial that could help me or have any other suggestions. Thank you in advance.

You would want to use some sort of dynamic system in 3D to produce the CG elements. Camera shake added in 2D will add a sense of impact. If you wanted something stylized, you could also do some sort of warpage effect at the impact point.
