Description
A little effect test on a low poly building
1200 polygons before damage, 2400 polygons after damage
Technically i was only testing damage on low poly buildings, it just somehow went from there into something not SO bad looking
Ok, please give it a chance in fullview, comment on fire smoke and textures!
All are by me

Which software? If I know which one you use, I can make better comments

They wanted smoke detectors but the detectors were too high poly so they got Phil. Phil fell asleep.
Looks great.
I like the floor tiles.

would love to see this in a cool war-time shooter, looks really nice, but i have to agree with the rest, you need way more smoke...and the floor tiles are kinda odd, but i guess they save you the hassle of texturing streets

You see, the entire POINT of this is only the building and the damage state (for a game) Not the fire, smoke or fancy light

I have the feeling that fire is more orange than yellow. Where there is fire there is..smoke?

The fire is great, but the smoke should be alot thicker....look at house and building fires, they're usually very thick very dark smoke.
Usually fires won't get that big in terms of flame-size, but they can indeed get that big, so this must be one of those five-alarm fires. o:

Nah this just one of my "getting bored with modelling damaged buildings" phases, it will subside soon enough
I REALLY wish i could have done proper fire with pyrocluster, but the scene is too dependent on GI and i didn't want to stomach a 1hr prepass for gi , damn volumetric smoke ;/
Probably weird, but a good fire effect needs atleast 400 particles each with their own fire volume, what sounds not like much, means basicly thats ONE fire, one nice fire... you can image why it takes so long to render with gi
Well that was the idea ,p

looking good
maybe the wndows are too perfect in relation to the texture of the building.. but nicely done

Yep, i had forgotten that

yeah, or else u have to attach em separetly, which would be a pain.

I'm loving the smoke/fire interaction. I think if the smoke were slightly more opaque it'd look even more real. Maybe some sparks/licks of flame as well? Anyway, great job, man.

Actually, thats a good idea.. let me just do that

Ooh ooh! I had a useful idea! I'm marking this day on the calendar!

Your usefull idea turned to be a mayor pain, i had forgotten what a rendertime killer real smoke and fire is..
Not sure how to do that ;/

Damn. Well that's the usual route my 'useful' ideas take
It looks superb anyway, man. I'd love to see some more renders with it.

,p Wouldn't know what else to do with this, although it certainly does not look bad, its not much of a model to show around more than once, actually planning to donate this to mektek (the model)
I tried a bit with pyrocluster tuning but anything that renders fast doesn't look good, and anything that looks good renders really not very fast.

Render it seperately and copy-paste it in photoshop onto the fire? o:

With pyrocluster i'd still have to render it with GI on (the smoke and fire) that would take atleast 1 hour, atleast with "proper" effect levels (since its a large building and 3 fires), since i know what im doing in pyrocluster it would have looked great, but sadly it would taken a great deal of time as well, bleh ,p
Atleast with GI in the scene, i would have to turn the entire scene into normal light and then pyrocluster would render within minutes, instead of hours, including proper shadows of smoke etc.
But one can't have everything

Well it certainly is easy to damage stuff, not so easy to build stuff
