CgTalk:FXWars! EARTH GO BOOM! - Challenge:19

[ragupasta]

This I have to have a go at. Got a few idea's in my head that I had a while back.

[yan]

hehe, nice one!

think i will try to have fun(again) with this one... :)

[SergioSantos]

oh man, this is going to be so cooool!

[kogden]

count me in :)

[JamesMcPhail]

I'm tempted to get in on this one. Just a question though. For the commission shot does it strictly have to be an asteroid. Or could it be some other cause such as a superweapon of some sort?

[fxabhi]

me will give it a shot... or for that matter a boom:thumbsup:

[noouch]

I think my favorite earth destruction sequence is still this here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PHCNha9Xxas

[jojo1975]

terminator 3 rise of the machine, done some time ago but still impressive ;) looking forward to see the results of this competition

[itoocg]

good challence,

i would feel great to participate,

but i need to know how to create wip etc?
how to participate?

thanks

[AUM]

Have u guys got nothing better to do while the Earth is going BOOM all around u right now then to visualise such negative imagery?

[JB]

So, we can or can not make up our own shots?

[yan]

Have u guys got nothing better to do while the Earth is going BOOM all around u right now then to visualise such negative imagery?

hmmm... maybe because we will make something(i mean a very good animation...), people will understand its time to change!...

anyway, the actual problem(for the earth and all the life living on it...), is not a collision with an asteroid, and for sure we will not change the world, doing or not this contest...
better to speak of switch off all the computer on the world to start doing something...

start doing what you said Anton, before critics others...
the simple things to open up your PC to post a thread in cgtalk is against what you said.....

so, do you stop your computer, Anton, to save the world?????

[JamesMcPhail]

Have u guys got nothing better to do while the Earth is going BOOM all around u right now then to visualise such negative imagery?

Would you prefer if artists only produced happy sanitized images? Seriously I don't see the big deal with the subject matter. A little over sensitive perhaps?

[CHRiTTeR]

Have u guys got nothing better to do while the Earth is going BOOM all around u right now then to visualise such negative imagery?

You tell the same thing to your clients? lol

[DuttyFoot]

thats one thing i love about the discovery and history channel. they have quite a few shows that talks about this stuff, (UNIVERSE to name one). the one about neutron stars causing the earth to blow up is amazing. maybe someone could do an animation based on that, instead of the typical asteroid or comet. heck maybe i could. i think i will take part, this will be my first challenge.

[reinhart82]

hmmm roberto think you miss out the freeform entry? This challenge is interesting. Going to be my 1st attempt. Good luck to everyone, including me :D

[Canadianboy]

ill think ill start give the FX challenges a go!

[SONIC-X]

This sounds interesting.I'm not good at any of this stuff ,but maybe I should give it a try.
Any way I'm sure there is going to be lots of exellant.

[Contrast27]

A few more planetary explosions for reference if anyone wants em ;)

yes you may do it... But call it a Free form entry

[optimus008]

Can we do a fictional forensic animation? Something that we know could never happen in real life on are planet.

Or would that fall under free form animation?

[loran]

this one (http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=oFLRANFIho0) is so great ! uhuhuh :D

[Tiberius]

Okay, I know it was a typo, but can I animate the Earth being destroyed by exploding mayors?

(for those that don't know what I'm talking about, read the challenge again)

[depleteD]

I always want to do these,

destroying the planet has always been a dream of mine.
im starting small with leaveing my lights on in my house when im gone and letting my hummer idle while i sleep so i dont have to turn on the key in the morning.

this would be a good opportunity to learn houdini i think.

[samiattar]

im gonna do this one :)
thanks for making my wish come true
lets blow up this sucker.

do i have to make the explosion with particles and stuff like that or can i use stock explosions?

[Chris_Stretten]

... anyway, the actual problem(for the earth and all the life living on it...), is not a collision with an asteroid...

Some would suggest that a collision with an object from space is in fact one of the largest issues to face this planet and the civilizations on it in the times to come...

[SquishMe]

Oh, I really wanted to do this with the PS3 Gaia music visualiser, but I wasn't allowed to :shrug:

[blackroses]

hello friends ,
i need it desperately..

i sketched the particle and then applied a turbulence field to it. after passing certain frames
i deactivated the field in dynamic relationship editor , and then again playback the scene
i found still those particle got attraction towards the field. even i tried using the particle disk cache , but nothin could be done ,

can any one guide me ?

[kogden]

by the sounds of it your using maya..correct??

instead of turning off the the turbulance field in the relationship editor place a key frame on the fields magnitude, do this at the frame you would like this to turn off and the frame before it.

ie magnitude = one @ frame 10, then at frame 11 magnitude = 0.
to place the keys in here rightclick on the tumbler and set keyframe.

if you want want the field to turn on after a certain time do the same thing.

the other thing you also could do would be to apply a drag field which is also key framed. key these frames over a period of time ie 10-25 frames so the gradually stop being affected. this will also make the particle clump together slightly:)

hope this help, apologies if this is hard to follow i just finished a long work day :)

good luck :)

The zoom is way too fast I think. I have tried to match the pictures I'm seeing from Nasa. The atmostphere seems to be much more subtle than I imagined but I might increase the effect in post if it works.

thx for your comments mbaas :)
i dont think i will go to explose the earth, anyway not add eruptions or such, but, i will see what kind of effect i will add.. :)
for the images, i use the one i find with the Roberto gives to us on topic thread.

so, here s another render test, from the animation.
i think i will make the asteroid bigger and i will start the effect of the explosion soon.
everythings is layered and composited with fusion, so can be tweaked easely, but now i have problem to find the right parameters... as for the atmosphere for exemple... who is maybe a little bit big right now.:D
anyway, WIP!

1. A slow camera orbit over the Earth
2.Which fades into a a layered view of the Earth crust,mantel,inner and outer core.
3. Camera cuts to a Motion Graphic explanation of what is going to case the Core to over heat.
4.Cuts back to the CG layered Earth and the outer Core expanding.
5.Cut to a surface shot, where we see the effects of the outer Core expanstion.
6.Cut to space where the pressure has built up and has no where to go, and Boom.

Direction Change
Ok here is a small update. This is the space scene first draft. I decided I didnt like the previous idea, so went for a complete change in shot.
Things to be done...



Colour tweaking the map in Photoshop as the ocean is oddly coloured
Secondary colour correction to the earth
Figuring out how to make those nice planet glow in post
Perhaps adding a space station in the background, and solar traffic.
Shortening the animation by at least half
Making the cloud layer "pop"
Here is the draft as it stands now....
