Very very nice.
Thanks for this nice tut ! :) like it
I think if you reversed the ‘blast’ fractal you might get a better effect, rather then having a shock wave for a glass break. :-) In any case, nice tut, not very informative but nice all the same.
Isn’t this tut on videocopilot already?
no this is compositing using action essentials 2. the video copilot tut is using 3ds max to creating 3d glass i believe. :)
Nice one… really nice tutorial. Thank you.
