Rebelway FX Challenge Entry

FINAL ENTRY

Well well well, this is my final submission for the contest, it has been a good ride between all the craziness and managing my baby PC for all of this. But also cheers to everyone. Make sure to turn up the Audio. No Hydralisk was hurt in the process of making this   #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd #REBELWAY @REBELWAY

So this is a break-down of my thought process on all the things i did on this project

more mini-renders and one last push....... #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd #REBELWAY @REBELWAY

more MINI-RENDERS...... #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd #REBELWAY @REBELWAY

.finally not showing view-port renders any more..... phew.... so this is first test render to see how things are adding up....... more baby renders coming before the final render...... #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd #REBELWAY @REBELWAY

kind of calling it done on all the main FX, just few bits of things to add here and there with few changes and Next up is some Lights and Shading and RENDER.........It's been an awesome trip so far... #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd #REBELWAY @REBELWAY

just some more FX.......... #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd #REBELWAY @REBELWAY

Decided to go with a different take on this FX, this Camera Angle has been very tricky so far, working with particles can either end up looking cool or crazy but the mid-ground just makes it worth the hassle...... . #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd #REBELWAY @REBELWAY

Blocking in more Magic Fx....... one node at a time

Fire, Magic....... Rain of Fire #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd REBELWAY @REBELWAY

And Let the rain of fire begin

So had to make a lot of refinement to the Dust Simulation to get a lot of things working right, but here you go... #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd REBELWAY @REBELWAY

Some Pyro RnD for the Hydralisk

and i almost forgot about this but i'm back on it, fine tuning various approaches and techniques, this is pretty much the first pass on the dust sim, and oh did i forget, it's not all done in one sim, it's a cluster of four sim so i could use high voxels as much as my PC can handle on the sim detail in various chunks, so that and other cool techniques and tricks. Also Chunked in the ViewPort Details as much as my baby GTX could handle #rebelway #rebelwayfxchallenge #therookiesco #houdinifx #sidefx #vfxartist #rbd REBELWAY @REBELWAY

Edge and Interior Details RnD

Done with the RBD for this Shot..... Moving on to other FX
