e-RING - "BRIDGE DESTRUCTION"
Sr. VFX Artist - Zoic Studios - 2006
Shot composed from a still photograph.
Painted clean plate which meant removing the bridge from the photograph.
Modeled bridge, camera projected textures, procedurally destroyed and animated the bridge destruction.
Simulated Maya Fluid explosion as well as used practical elements.
Compositing not done by me.

- 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.
