I must say, I know how hard and time consuming is to make a frigging donut so I can only image the knowledge, passion and hard work behind this project. Very, very impressive!

Having done some large destruction shots in my day, I can honestly say "Good job!"

This is nuts, I've never seen destruction FX close to this good in Blender before

Dude, that’s so sick!

Fantastic breakdown of the project. The final shot turned out really well.

crazy impressive bro, the amount of work you put into that little scene is wild, huge respect

Your tutorials are the best

Very cool scene! I worked on your reference shot and it's nice to see it giving some inspiration. You have a lot of creative solutions for a wide range of effects. Thanks for sharing.

Wow this is one of the most complete overviews of how to create a vfx shot like this I’ve found. I instantly subscribed! Thank you for sharing

I wonder what the process would of been like if you would of done a large-to-small iteration of the shot using previz. As in: 1. block in the environment. 2. block in the camera motion 3. block in the largest pieces of enviro sections that you can get away with using keyframe anim 4. do rough simulation, further refining the keyframed large env sections 5. only do detail destruction on hero (close to camera) parts of the shot. This of course requires a ton of planning and probably tons of viewport renders, but mybe is less taxing on CPU usage (In theory). Nice work.

Aw maaan you destroyed Rembrandt's house that I worked so long on to create. Haha, thanks for using my model in your great project, it was great to see it in the thumbnail! Although I would have preferred some credit, as specified in the attribution license when you downloaded it.

This is just... beautiful, I'm without words 😮

I love those destruction scenes of buildings, houses and whole cities. You did it very well with your medieval village destrution scene.😃

Looks awesome mate

This is black magic to me so well done. Very impressive

Great video and amazing techniques to get stuff done in a practical way!

interesting workflow, blenders physics system has become really good and is beginning to look more and more like houdini

woah! That looks so good😮

Great Job brother

Great work, I love destruction.

mind blowing effort, great work :)

Amazing!

thank you for sharing this good flow with us 🙏

oyeah! Looks fantastic! Grats!

Excellent work. I've been doing demolition type effects in Maya and Houdidni for about 20 years, but I think future is with Blender. I'm in the process of switching over, because it's seriously beginning to catch up with the competition. Dynamics I'm not totally in love with. Blender fire never looks good. Smoke is alright. Rigid body dynamics is good, but simulation workflow is ass, in terms of how things get baked, and the fact that you don't always get a live preview, or have to go into wireframe mode to see things. Sim nodes - now that's where all the fun lies currently. Finally, it's possible to do proper crowd sims. Geonodes - I'm absolutely dig that system. If only they had a raw expression node for typing math formulas in, and doing conditional statements, instead of throwing dozens of "compare" nodes.

Amazing work!

I am speechless! Awesome work!

dude that is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Really interesting video! I learned a lot. Congratulations on finishing such a great sequence. How long would you estimate that it took you?

epic stuff here!

Nicely done!

Damn this so so freaking good man!! Keep it up 🔥

Amazing as always

I want this in Minecraft, just so I can destroy my cities in style 🤷‍♂

WOW Nice Work

absolute mad lad 10/10 💪💪💪💪

Always look forward to see someone who doing Fx on Blender. The result is really great!

great video

Jaha. Ingen medeltidsvecka mer alltså.... (Snyggt jobbat!)

Wow WOw WOw!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!

you're amazing!

Great Stuff

You just don't know how much I dreamt of doing this in blender,I ended up learning Houdini just so I could achieve such distraction scenes..it really turned out awesome bro ,loved it

I'm still staring at the cube, and have not restarted my donut tutorial…but was fascinated by this tutorial. Thanks! Subscribed and liked.

Amazing job! I was looking for some tutorials to create a car jump and crash scene. I think this would be a perfect tutorial.

holy shit bro this is EPIC ggood work 10/10

F***ING Crazy Dude.... Amazing!!

thank you for these breakdowns, great work man!!

You are underrated chnage my mind.

This is extremely awesome!!

You earned by sub. Good job. As a earlier Blender learner, i highly doubt ill get even close to this. But who knows. Good job man

i mean it looks super dope!

cool video, keep it up

It's crazy how all of this is done without geometry nodes. Really nice

Great work!!! ❤❤❤❤

wow this is really good tip if I may try making the houses in the background instances or even comp them in using alpha channels later that's what the big boys in Hollywood do to save there computers for melting otherwise this is great work man. You can also render out only a few objects at once by creating new scenes within the same project

Thats just incredible! All of this with blender huge respect!

Great job, mate!

An amazing technical and artistic achievement. Needs more John Cusack tho.

Ah the 2012 la earthquake scene..I remember trying to recreate that in different games and stuff since I was just so fascinated with that scene

Increadible. You should do realistic people too

Well done... that was really good. Looks like something from a game cinematic or cut scene. Really great job here. The touch of the fire lamps exploding was a good idea :)

i made a medieval palladin sword scene and it took me days, i can't imagine what it took you to do this

Sick!!!

wow very cool please do more

Awesome!

subscribed :)

Always making banger content brother, keep up the great work!

That fire effects are AMAZING! Definitely worth the extra work.

Great work man, also it's nice how you turned your head to right when showing the final result, kinda makes me feel like you're actually with me. Great Job.

i dont use Blender but i can tell u know your stuff brother great scene.

impressive

Very nice! Just the tiling texture on the ground is a bit too visible to me. And way more dramatic destruction noise. But Im not a VFX artist by far, so big respect for the work and thanks for sharing 👍

Very cool dude🎉

This is awesome

this is absolutley insane mate!!!

each material has its own type of deformation and destruction.

This man needs to be hired to make a end of the world movie.

This is just wonderful. Maybe you could add some background, so the town won’t be felt like placed in empty space. And then you could pull up the camera. But anyway - wonderful work.

This is amazing, you are achieving Houdini level results from blender. Please bring more like this, it’s really a fantastic job my friend! I wish you luck 🫡

Glad found this video 🔥💥

Cool

Thanks for the tutorial bro! I love how you always manage ways to ease up the process of these great animations. Your final results always turn out to be fantastic! To be honest, that feels very hard to believe that it was to be made in such an easy manner compared to the methods applied by other artists. But you actually inspire me with some great ideas every time. I love to learn from short videos. Learning from a mentor who makes everything from scratch kind of feels very boring to me. But seeing the breakdown of a huge/large/even small project is just pretty much enough for giving some ideas and inspiration to me. That's why I love your videos. Keep up this great work. All the best. I hope you will do even better in the future. 😁🤍

that's sick

Impressive that you did that without an addon like RBD lab

This is extremely cool. only nitpick is the audio, the crumbling should get louder as the camera get's closer to it and more muted the further it is. and the audio shouldn't fade before the video does

amazing work, continue to love what you are doing, Getting paid to do what you love is not a job, its a paid hobby.

Pretty trivial do to in Houdini. It also handles large scenes far better than blender.

dude just make a destructible city or smth in gmod with how good this is.

jävligt coolt :)

Sooooo cool

Really great...Some practical tips..what do you have in terms of a beefy pc and roughly how many hours did this project take..

Omg, this is insane ! Please teach me

Yes! Awesome. Very inspiring. Thanks for the breakdown. Out of curiosity HOW beefy is your computer so I can predict how sluggish my own will become?

This is a nice trick may it will be more when you use really high quality models at the Camera Path and keep others that are away low quality. Any ways this animation is very greet i love it

The best

You can very clearly see the tiling in the ground texture, which is a bummer. But other than that, this is very Good 👍

Looks good, keep it up

Greetings from Brasil. Excelent work, very interesting and inspiring. You gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation. keep up with these good ideas. Very well done.

Pretty Epic! 🤘 The only thing that stings me is the street. There is some repetition and no signs of sidewalks, tracks or wear.
