Shot 5 - Crashing Fence

This is a work in progress . These are the list of things that I intend to change.

1. Car should hit the fence with more speed and only the fracturing needs to be in slow motion. (Play in Premiere pro and figure out optimum speed)

2. The fractured pieces should be flatter and smaller. 

3. Fractured pieces lacks details and very blocky. 

4. Car movement looks like it's staged. (Use Dynamics, maybe?)

5. Only a part of the fence should come out, and not the whole fence! 

6. Wheels spinning. 

7.  Rows of the fence and Columns of te fence needs to break separately. and form unique pieces. Right now it looks too much like breaking glass! 

8. Fractured pieces cannot bounce off the floor like this.  (Sculpt the ground to make sure the pieces doesn't hit the ground so easily. Create a deeper ditch, that will also help see the fence better.)

9. Is the scale of the Car too big? (Fence is half te height of a Tyre! It is. )

If anybody ever reads this and watches the video and have anything to add, please comment. 

 

Procedural Terrain

This is te height map that I used to generate the 3d Terrain

ThenI draw this curve on the terrain

 

Then I use point normals to place rocks on the terrain

Meeting Notes

3 questions for the class

1. How would you change the shot 4(impact shot) so that you would feel for the chicken more?
2. Do you think our vehicles match the style of the chicken?
3. Should the chicken that lost the tail come back in the end of the race ?
