e-RING - "BRIDGE DESTRUCTION"

Zoic Studios
Sr. VFX Artist - 2006

• I did not composite this shot.
• Shot derived from a single still photograph.
• Painted clean plate which consisted of removing the bridge.
• Modeled the bridge in 3D and camera projected original plate back onto bridge to generate textures.
• Wrote a MEL script to auto fracture the bridge, set it up as a soft body lattice and then simulated it shattering.
• Simulated Fluid explosions as well as used stock footage explosion.
• Used Maya Paint Effects to generate foliage which was then synced to the blast to blow around.
• Car and character flying off bridge were completed by Lochlon Johnston.
