Hallway Explosion

Client: Personal Project
Objective: Integrate live action footage and VFX
Software: 3ds Max, TyFlow, Phoenix, V-Ray, After Effects

Process: The background plate was match moved to generate a 3d camera and imported into 3ds Max. Next I modeled and lit a 3d scene to match the environment from the live action footage. TyFlow was used for all the dynamic simulations including ceiling tiles, cables, falling debris, picture/poster frames, and the door. Chaos Phoenix was used for fire/smoke simulations. Rendered in 3ds Max/V-Ray and composited in After Effects.
