advanced destruction effects in blender 

Dude, that’s so sick!

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!

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

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

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

Your tutorials are the best

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

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.

This is just... beautiful, I'm without words 😮

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

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.

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

Great work, I love destruction.

Looks awesome mate

absolute mad lad 10/10 💪💪💪💪

oyeah! Looks fantastic! Grats!

Great video and amazing techniques to get stuff done in a practical way!

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

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.

Great Job brother

Amazing!

Wow WOw WOw!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!

thank you for sharing this good flow with us 🙏

mind blowing effort, great work :)

epic stuff here!

woah! That looks so good😮

You are underrated chnage my mind.

dude that is amazing!!!!!!!!!

F***ING Crazy Dude.... Amazing!!

holy shit bro this is EPIC ggood work 10/10

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

Amazing as always

you're amazing!

I am speechless! Awesome work!

Amazing work!

i mean it looks super dope!

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

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

WOW Nice Work

great video

Nicely done!

thank you for these breakdowns, great work man!!

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

Great Stuff

Really interesting video! I learned a lot. Congratulations on finishing such a great sequence. How long would you estimate that it took you?

This is extremely awesome!!

Damn this so so freaking good man!! Keep it up 🔥

You earned by sub. Good job. As a earlier Blender learner, i highly doubt ill get even close to this. But who knows. Good job man

I'm still staring at the cube, and have not restarted my donut tutorial…but was fascinated by this tutorial. Thanks! Subscribed and liked.

cool video, keep it up

This man needs to be hired to make a end of the world movie.

Sick!!!

You just don't know how much I dreamt of doing this in blender,I ended up learning Houdini just so I could achieve such distraction scenes..it really turned out awesome bro ,loved it

Excellent work. I've been doing demolition type effects in Maya and Houdidni for about 20 years, but I think future is with Blender. I'm in the process of switching over, because it's seriously beginning to catch up with the competition. Dynamics I'm not totally in love with. Blender fire never looks good. Smoke is alright. Rigid body dynamics is good, but simulation workflow is ass, in terms of how things get baked, and the fact that you don't always get a live preview, or have to go into wireframe mode to see things. Sim nodes - now that's where all the fun lies currently. Finally, it's possible to do proper crowd sims. Geonodes - I'm absolutely dig that system. If only they had a raw expression node for typing math formulas in, and doing conditional statements, instead of throwing dozens of "compare" nodes.

Amazing job! I was looking for some tutorials to create a car jump and crash scene. I think this would be a perfect tutorial.

Thats just incredible! All of this with blender huge respect!

Great work!!! ❤❤❤❤

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

That fire effects are AMAZING! Definitely worth the extra work.

An amazing technical and artistic achievement. Needs more John Cusack tho.

Awesome!

i dont use Blender but i can tell u know your stuff brother great scene.

impressive

Ah the 2012 la earthquake scene..I remember trying to recreate that in different games and stuff since I was just so fascinated with that scene

this is absolutley insane mate!!!

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

Increadible. You should do realistic people too

wow this is really good tip if I may try making the houses in the background instances or even comp them in using alpha channels later that's what the big boys in Hollywood do to save there computers for melting otherwise this is great work man. You can also render out only a few objects at once by creating new scenes within the same project

This is awesome

Very cool dude🎉

subscribed :)

wow very cool please do more

very convincing! Poor Gotland!

Well done... that was really good. Looks like something from a game cinematic or cut scene. Really great job here. The touch of the fire lamps exploding was a good idea :)

This is amazing, you are achieving Houdini level results from blender. Please bring more like this, it’s really a fantastic job my friend! I wish you luck 🫡

amazing work, continue to love what you are doing, Getting paid to do what you love is not a job, its a paid hobby.

Great work man, also it's nice how you turned your head to right when showing the final result, kinda makes me feel like you're actually with me. Great Job.

each material has its own type of deformation and destruction.

Cool

Glad found this video 🔥💥

Very cool, impressive techniques!

i made a medieval palladin sword scene and it took me days, i can't imagine what it took you to do this

that's sick

Impressive that you did that without an addon like RBD lab

That's a lot of geometry.

You can very clearly see the tiling in the ground texture, which is a bummer. But other than that, this is very Good 👍

Great job, mate!

dude just make a destructible city or smth in gmod with how good this is.

Yes! Awesome. Very inspiring. Thanks for the breakdown. Out of curiosity HOW beefy is your computer so I can predict how sluggish my own will become?

The best

Sooooo cool

This is a really hard bread and in fact of the matter this is not simply done by playing 10 hours with blender... That needs more hours of experience - respect kid

Omg, this is insane ! Please teach me

Very nice! Just the tiling texture on the ground is a bit too visible to me. And way more dramatic destruction noise. But Im not a VFX artist by far, so big respect for the work and thanks for sharing 👍

Really great...Some practical tips..what do you have in terms of a beefy pc and roughly how many hours did this project take..

THIS IS NEXT LEVEL, HOLY

a glass shattering sound for the lamps would have been nice imo

This is preaty awesome!

This is just wonderful. Maybe you could add some background, so the town won’t be felt like placed in empty space. And then you could pull up the camera. But anyway - wonderful work.

This is awesome!
