Hey guys.here’s a project I’ve had going on and off for a while now.it’s not really ready for sale yet so I figured I’d just dump some of what I have as a freebie,

Impact(Works in DAZStudio 4.5 only):

Animation preview(quicktime):
http://stefan-morrell.com/ImpactFree.mov

usage is fairly easy.if all you want is a static pile of rubble then scrub the time slider to the end of the animation,
Each ‘frag’ has a few hundred pieces which are parented to a non rendering prop,called the target.you can use the target to place each animated prop where you need them.
if animating be sure to activate motion blur in render settings.
if you have keymate or animate2 you can slide keys to better position the timing of the impact in your animations.

hope you all get some enjoyment out of this..if not for rendering then just watching shit blow up is always cool

Cheers
Stefan

PS:the larger project I have includes walls and columns collapsing,crater impact points and other animated goodness,the reason it’s on hold is D|S can’t slide keys natively.this limits the end user too much for the product to be truly useful..so,if you want me to finish the project please request the ability to slide keys in your next bug reporter visit ...thanks!

Will this be available for poser as well?

poser…not at this stage.

Very neat - I foresee a lot of Vickies and Michaels getting some exercise.

Looks very interesting. Bookmarked for when my brain is more functional :D

Gorgeous, as usual, Stone.  Question: Are the individual pieces that are scattered after impact “pre-created” and assembled into “solid” form prior to impact, or is dispersal random based on rules of physics?

My man, as a collector of all things Stonemason (I’m only three behind due to funds) and a user of KeyMate and Animate2 I will point out to you that all of us Animation dazers would love to see this full project finished. I would buy it now. I can think of many others that would also.

That said I thank you for this set now. I hope you finish it. Even if I must wait for DS to catch up.

Very cool. It will be useful, I am sure.

Thank you. This will be fun to play with.

Thanks so much - your stuff rocks!  (no pun intended lol)

thank you

Too bad it’s for DS4.5, only. :(

Looks cool - when my current running render is finished I’ll play with it.

Thanks!

What a mess… Thanks Stonemason!

Though I don’t do animations I would use these for a still render at whatever frame suited my needs…yeah very cool.

A nice addition to this would be an animated dust ‘blast’ texture that could key off a zdepth map.

Have a look here to see what this would look like…

It’s done it After Effects but I wonder could a ‘haze/zdepth’ camera do the trick?
