Like biotech I have watched your animation through a few times even scrubbing through it to study it more closely and I must say I'm really impressed with your results.

I love all the different elements, from the clouds spiralling down into the planets core (and the very subtle fading of the atmosphere), the cracking effect and explosions going on mostly on the darkside. Plus of course the actual break up effect and shrinkage of the fragments.

I would be really interested in knowing how you went about some of these effects (I have my suspicions), I hope it's not too cheeky of me to ask if you'd be willing to give us a brief overview of your methods please?

Thats pretty impressive, though the limits of the dynamic elements are quite obvious. I can see how you did the swirly cloud layer too and that bothers me a bit.

But yeah, really nicely done for a quick project. I think the lighting and post processing is what really makes it look good here.

Er I think we might have a spam bot! the posts by macrylinda and jeanlee411 on this page are identical and have copied Meurig's post from the first page!

I wanted to start in April and still have not done so. Maybe in a few weeks...
