2nd BlenderDiplom Tutorial Challenge!

Written by  Gottfried Hofmann

It's on again! The release of Blender 2.62 will be celebrated by a new tutorial on BlenderDiplom! But first we'll give you the chance to have a go at the effect yourself!

Dim lights

A logo dissolve or disintegration is one of the standards in VFX and motion graphics. It's been the domain for packages like Houdini or After Effects for quiet a while - now let's tackle it in Blender. You can achieve this effect with any version of Blender 2.6, but 2.62 will make it a lot easier. So grab a Blender 2.62 release candidate suitable for your system or a recent build from Graphicall.org and take the challenge! The Tutorial on how I created this will follow shortly after the official release of Blender 2.62!

To take part, upload your animations to the BlenderDiplom Facebook Wall, the BlenderDiplom Goole+ Stream or create a video response on YouTube. You can also paste links to videos in the comments below. A good service to share Blendfiles is Pasteall.org.

Have fun taking the challenge and dont forget: The best way to learn something is figuring it out for yourself!

Note: The challenge is finished, thanks to everyone who participated. The tutorial can be found here!

Gottfried 'Scott' Hofmann has discovered Blender for himself when the first alpha of revision 2.5 was released. From the very beginning he was mainly interested in VFX-related aspects of Blender like the smoke simulation. Since then, he has accumulated quite some knowledge in that field which he now shares with the community through BlenderDiplom.

    Awesome challenge, it's really my cup of tea ;) You did this effect beautifully! I am curious how you approach it.

    A quick guess, the answer lies in the almighty NEW Remesh Modifier! Then, Particles, and Explode Modifier (Use Particle Size for the Shrapnel).

    I like how "Fluid" your Particles really look.

    Can Fluid dynamic in Blender affect Particles movement?

    I can't wait for your video tutorial. Blender Diplom is the best!

    Thank you.

    Hey Rene, seems like you already got most of it :)

    Zuggamasta, I'm really glad you like the concept! Low processing power should not stop you in this case!

    Gottfried, ich hab es schon beim letzten mal verpasst dir das mit zu teilen, aber ich finde die idee deine blender schueler selber zum denken zu bringen genial!
    bis so oder so von der qualität auf blenderdiplom immer wieder überwältigt :D

    Ich werd mich auch mal versuchen aber meine begrenzte rechenpower wirds wohl einschränken. weiter so :)
