I love the film Battleship (Its got to be my current favourite film!). There is a really cool sequence involving robots called Shredders which attack the military bases across the island. Anyway I really like that sequence so I decided to have a go at a shot where a Shredder attacks a Building, Here it is:
I used 3DS Max along with two plugins, Thinking Particles and Demolition Master. The simulation times were pretty slow as the Building Model was rather High Poly. The amazing Shredder model was made by John Mesplay. Because the model was so detailed I had to use some Proxy mesh for the destruction simulation.
For the simulation I had a hard time making it so the whole building did not collapse on the impact of the Shredder, after about an hour of tweaking I got a really nice simulation. I cached it and rendered it. It took around 4 hours to render due to the high poly count.
I hope in the near future to work on a little VFX Sequence with the Shredders causing a lot of destruction.
Thanks for the viewing my blog theres more to come!
