planetary-implosionAn impressive video of a planetary implosion done by Mark Theriault while he worked for Blur over the course of three weeks.  The specs:

  • Hand cut planet peices with MBFracture
  • All destruction done in Pflow with a script from Bobo that places geo to particle location.
  • Fire and smoke done with FumeFX
  • Rendered with variety of solutions (vray,scanline,mentalray,krakatoa).
  • Krakatoa was used for dust and etheral effects.

See the video after the break.
