I'll be posting my movie of this in the next few days or so....
NOTES:
NO FLUIDS were used for this shot!
This is All Maya particles and shading, with the exception of:
1. The small piece of stock footage in the very center.
2. The main background plate.
3. The plane pieces and shrapnel are rigid-body geometry of course
Each 720x486 D1 frame renders out at less than 1minute and 30 sec. (Fluids take at least 10 times longer roughly)
I have not YET added the MAIN particle explosion to the composite as it is all still rendering
By the way, in case anyone doesn't know, this explosion is DIRECTLY from my most recent VIP tutorial: Dynamic Explosions for VFX part 2!
Join up now if you havn't yet!
