Simon Trümpler: Sketch #22 - Barrel Explosion

Events 22 - Grayscale
61

thanks for your feedback! yeah i’m still struggling to get it perfectly right. doesn’t look as good as the zrbush sculpts you can find for such craters :frowning:

here is a new update (sorry, compression takes away details):

  • tweaked colors of shield
  • added crater decal
  • thin dust now collects within the shield and dissolves as soon as the shield gets disabled

my explo now uses motion vectors (being less stuttery especially when eveything slows down) and i added some more debris-splinters. and this time it’s a higher res video :smiley:

Meanwhile the barrel goes “please just let me burn for good. You’ve had me explode for almost 2 years”.

I think this calls for a new type of badge. Most tenacious sketcher or something.

ok guys…wow. after almost 2 years i’m finally wrapping this up. thanks for all the feedback and especially @Partikel who gave me the first push of creating such explosions in Houdini.
