Just now getting into this. I need a standard concrete wall to explode or, to have an explosive device blow a hole in a concrete wall. Can't do this practically, so we have to result to post effects.

Anyone got any tips on how to do this in C4D as far as the wall goes? I'm sure the actual explsion can be ripped from stock footage, along with debris, dust, etc. What about destroying the wall?

It was probably a couple of years ago that someone posted a video of a Matrix-style bullets breaking apart columns. Looked awesome from what I remember and I think there was a followup tutorial...but I just can't remember where that is. Sorry, maybe someone else can chime in. I have those other tuts listed above bookmarked. With some patience and perhaps some post-trickery you could have something quite nice. Good luck!

Chris, do you want a copy of my super duper archive retrieval system? :D

The Gunfight was one of the first WOWEE! scenes I came across when I was first dipping into 3D. It convinced me on my C4D mission.

Cheers, Alan.
