Ice fracture on a trampoline, what workflow would you use?
ForeverMovement posted a topic in Effects
Hello all, I want to replicate the effect of ice breaking on a trampoline but I can't seem to get my head around the workflow for how I would go about it, the reference is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxpM2D2i0o4 The trampoline part is easy enough, with a quick Vellum setup I got a decent result. The problem comes with the ice, as I figured, I don't know if it's best to take it through Vellum or an RBD setup. I need it to do a few things based on the reference, obviously the first shatter effect and then smaller breaks afterwords from repeated impacts. I don't believe Vellum can have a setup that consistently breaks down over time over the multiple impacts(unless it's just a very high res grain sim?). The Vellum approach is nice because of the speed of the result and the ease of use. On the other hand RBD is robust and I know there's information out there on breaking pieces into smaller and smaller chunks, but when I attempted to sim using a glass style fracture it would explode with the cached Vellum geometry under it. Any ideas or other threads somebody can point me towards to get my bearings with something like this? To create the ice sheet I would just take a stable frame from the beginning of the sim and fracture ontop of that cleaned piece of geo. Attached is the base file with just the trampoline sim, as my attempts with both the vellum setup and RBD was very cluttered and made the scene file harder to look through. I don't know why I always manage to bury myself in these weird effects but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can't help myself. As always y'all are lifesavers and I can never thank you enough. Cheers.
