Creating a collapsing Bridge with Particle Flow in 3ds max 9

In this video tutorial we're going to create a collapsing bridge with Particle Flow in 3ds max 9. Remains of Longteng Bridge is a very famous scenic spot in Taiwan. Longteng Bridge was made in 1905 during Japanese Era in Taiwan. Because of earthquake, the Bridge collapsed and became those remains you see today . In this video tutorial, we're going to recreate the collapsing process. First, we will create a simple bridge model, and cut this geometry into pieces with SplitItup maxscript , and then convert those pieces of geometry into Particles with Bobo's maxscript, finally we will use those particle to create a collapsing bridge animation.

hi there..is it possible to insert an image to 3d max without mapping the image to an object??

[hammerbchen]

only if you're applying a procedural textures to your model

[akiracon]

Your tutorials keep getting better and better! Awesome stuff, always a pleasure to watch your vids! Thanks Hammerbchen!

[hammerbchen]

Thank tou Akiracon! I hope one day I could become a 3DCG master!

nice tutorial, but that doesnt look pretty realistic.

[hammerbchen]

This tutorial focus on onverting fragmented object into Particle not modeling/textureing, you an make it better more real if you want.

horrible physics imo, looked really bad

[radgoncan]

You've got nice tutorials, appreciate the history lessons also.

The only thing is that could go trough a lill' faster :D

Lp, radgoncan

@rizlin2410 or you ca drag it from the file and pply to background

[3DVinci]

You should also be able to insert images via Video Post (composite)

no its not crap it just helped me with the technique i need to deliver a deadline. its just a tutorial not an actual job. u pick what u can from it and use ur head to do the rest. it has really opened the door for much greater dynamic stuff. thanks chen

[iankaufman80]

crap

[Spiderhund]

You can insert it as a background image

[akiracon]

I think you are almost there.
