FXWARS Challenge:37 - KBoom - Bd7

#1

Alright this will be my first FX Wars entry. I am trying to get this done before I get busy at work again. My goal at work everyday is to try and make the FX look “realistic”. For this I want to try and do something different. I want to make a cartoon explosion based in reality. hahaha.

Here is my inspiration.

Here is my a quick play blast. Not perfect but now I cant start building my sims and other FX rigs.

that is already looking pretty cool :slight_smile:

#3

Definitely looking great already. I like the tremble the bomb does before it blows. Nice start!

#4

Thanks guys. I have some Sims going right now. Trying to get this before we get busy at work. hahaha

#5

that playblast rules

#6

Thanks!

I started shading and rendering just to try and get a first pass of all the different parts. From there I can re sim and re render as needed. I will try and get some stills up tonight.

#7

Here are some stills. Still trying to get a first pass out hahaha.

#8

Very cool playblast. Renders look promising too. Curious to see more :slight_smile:

#9

Nice work man - good sim :wink:

#12

Nice one! I like the animation of the bomb before explosion.

#13

Thanks. Getting kinda busy but ill do my best to keep up with the updates.

#14

nice! i like the ashes desintegration a lot! good timing and very dynamic!
done with what?

#15

Thank you. I shattered it with Rayfire - Used Pflow box2 to animate the big chunks and scale down over time ( I chose it over TP for speed). Pflow rendered with krakatoa for the fine debris. Also there is a small Fumefx pass the help blend it all together.

Still haven’t had time to touch this. Might try and add a bit bigger explosion and call it. Hustle Hustle

#16

Great entry man! That turned out really nice.

I’m going to have to get my hands on Rayfire one of these days, I’ve never used it but it seems like you have a bit more control over your fragments than the typical TP voronoi fragmenter.

#19

Thanks a lot.

yeah Ray fire is a really great tool for fragments. I put the fragments in to Pflow using box2 and scaled them down over time to help sell the dissolving effect.

Very nice results man -
