Topic: Glass shatter

I'm having trouble finding a good method for shattering glass. So far I have come up with:
1- Add the effect in post production or
2- cut out pieces of clear plastic and use them.
I could really use some help for a (hopefully) upcoming brickfilm.

Check out NXTmaniac's tutorial

Bloon, are you so lazy that you can't look it up and post a link for him?

Well, he's been around for a while.
I thought he might know who NXT is.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart. mini/wink

Re: Glass shatter

Thanks, but I was hoping for something of a larger scale, like a large glass window smashing to pieces as someone goes flying through.

Re: Glass shatter

Well, the point of the SME tutorials aren't to show you the one and only way to create an effect, they are more of an inspiration and techniques you could implement for other uses. Try using the shattering effect on a large scale object, it can still work.

Re: Glass shatter

Okay, I understand what you're saying. Thanks for your help. Now I'm gonna kill this thread...

Re: Glass shatter

At 1:40 in this I throw a guy through a window using pretty much what NXT says in his tutorial.

Re: Glass shatter

Try taking some clear bricks and building your glass. Then basically animating it breaking with some blu-tac.

Re: Glass shatter

OK. Thanks for all the advice everyone. I know what I'm going to do now so let's let this thread die.
