This is nuts, I've never seen destruction FX close to this good in Blender before

[MrLaszloKovac]

I must say, I know how hard and time consuming is to make a frigging donut so I can only image the knowledge, passion and hard work behind this project. Very, very impressive!

[TomMartinek]

Having done some large destruction shots in my day, I can honestly say "Good job!"

[InfraredVisuals]

Fantastic breakdown of the project. The final shot turned out really well.

[MrTheRich]

Aw maaan you destroyed Rembrandt's house that I worked so long on to create. Haha, thanks for using my model in your great project, it was great to see it in the thumbnail!
Although I would have preferred some credit, as specified in the attribution license when you downloaded it.

crazy impressive bro, the amount of work you put into that little scene is wild, huge respect

I wonder what the process would of been like if you would of done a large-to-small iteration of the shot using previz. As in: 1. block in the environment. 2. block in the camera motion 3. block in the largest pieces of enviro sections that you can get away with using keyframe anim 4. do rough simulation, further refining the keyframed large env sections 5. only do detail destruction on hero (close to camera) parts of the shot. This of course requires a ton of planning and probably tons of viewport renders, but mybe is less taxing on CPU usage (In theory). Nice work.

Always look forward to see someone who doing Fx on Blender. The result is really great!

[jakethesnake]

This is black magic to me so well done. Very impressive

[aeedits]

interesting workflow, blenders physics system has become really good and is beginning to look more and more like houdini

[mclefferson]

Wow this is one of the most complete overviews of how to create a vfx shot like this I’ve found. I instantly subscribed! Thank you for sharing

[leonkaminski]

I love those destruction scenes of buildings, houses and whole cities. You did it very well with your medieval village destrution scene.😃

[MayneEntertainment]

Jaha. Ingen medeltidsvecka mer alltså.... (Snyggt jobbat!)

[VeloFX]

It's crazy how all of this is done without geometry nodes. Really nice

[hayse]

Always making banger content brother, keep up the great work!

[christianz]

Very cool scene! I worked on your reference shot and it's nice to see it giving some inspiration.
You have a lot of creative solutions for a wide range of effects. Thanks for sharing.

I want this in Minecraft, just so I can destroy my cities in style 🤷‍♂
