Final entry :
Starting Point
Hi everyone. First participating and first post.
The start idea was to make the character create a wall and then it will be destroyed into some shard.

First thing I did was making the meshes for the wall.
Used blender for the base mesh and put them together.
Did a bit of sculpting with Zbrush and baked it on the low poly one.
The texture simpled one using basic Substance painter noise and curvature.

Hey, added the shard animation.

I’m using velocity and collision for the animation
and added a custom node to oriant the shard mesh at the impact.
I did a little mesh for the impact and added it to the effect using the event handler thing.

It will be Interesting to see a glow from the stones during cracking 
Do you mean a glow from the cracks (I wanted to make it like “fire cracks”, right now its juste some noise one the UV with a color) or more like a fresnel glow on the entire object ?
Hey, time to add some impact to the effect, so I will use decals for it.
For the texture I baked a mesh made in Zbrush on a plane in painter and make an opacity map in photoshop

I also added some smoke to it. The simulation was done on houdini.

The same as you draw is interesting to see as an effect 
I added the animations for the effect. I’m really not a professional animator but I wanted to do everything for this effect, I used Cascadeur for all animation.
The first one is a kick for the wall spawn.
And the seconde a punch for the moment the wall explode in shards.
I made the texture for the fire cracks in painter using a base alpha.
alpha:
result:
and here is the material for the cracks.
Time for the final entry, since last time I haded some detail to the effect ans bit of camera shake. It was fun to make and hope you will like it .
