Desert dust Hits, Pyro

[cudarsjanis]

Here`s the first flipbook test and test render oof my next shot. Planning to add falling meteors. Would be cool to blow up truck as well, but then It`s gonna take too long again. Learning pyro. Any feedback appriciated. Thank you

cool!

one observation I'd make is that the dust clouds seem much too detailed - maybe tone that down a little bit

something like this:

You are right, that would make them look a bit more realistic. 

Also need to make shock waves and add some debris as well.

Some progress here.

I`m pretty much happy with the result, but I think shadows are a bit wrong, so gonna rerender it. maybe will add some debris.

Any feedback apriciated!

Thank you

I think the smoke from the meteor trails should stay and float in the air.  Right now they tend to disappear a bit quickly as if it was based on particle life, they should dissipate in the air instead of just vanishing.  I like the explosions, nice work !

my little critic

give more organic shape to explosion and give a variation

I agreed with Michael for color

for the rest is not bad

Thanks for the feedback.

I changed trails, after I checked some reference footage on youtube.

Thanks for the feeback.

I agree that some variation would make it look better. 

What do you mean with more organic shape for the explosions?

Though, I\m not gonna update this shot anymore, as I will start working on next one, you can check it out in Finished artwork, if interested.

more variation with the shape (organic)

some example

for do that you can use a Particles and shape for drive your pyro sim (and maybe you did that) by the way I try to attached one scheme for explosion.

Thanks for that Mat.

I did use POPs to drive my pyro sim. I had few variations, but ended up using one, and just rotated it and scaled differently.

I agree that if I would use 3 or more variations it would look better. But I`ll keep that in mind for next projects.

thx for sharing also your workflow and I wait new project

have a nice day

Nice shot, tho I would increase the speed of the meteor, I think they are falling way to slow. There's too much difference in speed between the falling speed and the explosion speed.
Also, the few trails coming out of the smoke seems to fall/stop to quickly, as if they have too much gravity influence, my eye want them to carry on further, like 2 or 3 time further. (that's really trying to be peaky

congrats.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree about the speed, could be faster.

Well.. next project will be better
