  Explosion FX

  Posted by Ken on August 1, 2005 at 11:53 pm

  Hi…

  I am trying to “blow up” a group of rectangle primatives that I’ve grouped into a null and textured to look like a brick wall. I have tried using the Explosion FX deformer, but for the life of me, I cannot get it to do what I want (it either looks like a wave where all the bricks act exactly the same or they end up blowing away and reforming). Are there any good tutorials out there or plugins I can use?

  Thank you in advance,
  Ken

  It depends what you like to achieve.
  It’s all about trying what you like best,
  this is a fairly complex Deformer.
  I have found that fairly high settings
  in BlastTime- and -Range look fairly
  good for me.
  I mostly prefer the Explosion Deformation anyway,
  easy and effective.
  Sorry, not much help.

  Cheers

  I just did a little test with the Explosion FX Deformer.
  If you like you can dowload the file “ExplosionFXTest.c4d” from my iDisk.
