Last post for this !!! i could probably polish a little bit before adding to my portfolio but i tested a lot of new things while working on this so i’m quite happy about it anyway hahaha
I wanted to make the sphere crumble with pixels while dissolving but i don’t want to half ass it with less than 1hour left 
Alsoo !!! if anyone want a breakdown of something specific please ask me

i’ll make the breakdown witch screen and/or videos this weekend but it was mostly distorting the stencil mask of the sphere + using floor on the time node to get the glitch

The glitch looks great and I looove the explosion, well done! Can’t wait to see the breakdown! 
to the people interrested!! here the breakdown for the glitch post process( if you pause on each step i put some notes on why some of the thing are there) + what it’s supposed to look like on each steps when you connect it to the emissive color
Something i forgot to add was that for this sequence I put used a MPC float to control the distort amount toward the end.
for the rest of the breakdown like the trail or explosion i’ll do it later as i received feedback and will rework them
The concept and the final results are amazing! I loved the timing!
