Title: torn/ripped metal effect in max?
Post by: CyAn1d3 on July 22, 2012, 06:39:55 PM
OTHER than painstakingly model out the effect, or using a cloth tear simulation, i was wondering if anyone knew of another method through animation that can do this?

basically a customer is repainting his boat, and wants a wrap done to make it look like an orange boat is bursting out of a white one... but all the ones weve done in PS for him "looked too cartoony" to him. so im being a smartass and doing it in CG, with raytraced shadows, and rendering out a PNG image to place into photoshop for print.

thus far ive been playing with the cloth tear method ill post a render once the simulation is done running

Looks pretty good.  I don't know if it'd be possible to put a silverish edge on all the jagged rips so that it looks like the paint was damaged as well, but that might improve the look.

I could possibly do that with mapping since its a work project I can work on it all day

so i tweaked it and made some changes to lighting and material and got this:

im thinking extruding the edges EVER SO SLIGHTLY and then mapping the edges to the metal material and then the rest to a "Glosswhite paint" material

EDIT: forgot i did put it in PS :P

Yeah, I think extrusion is a great idea.
