Making debris and destruction

erickCMR · 14 May 2009, 21:35

hey all

Just signed up yesterday and i must say some of the stuff ive seen here is pretty awesome. Anyway i've been using SU off and on for about 2 years now, not really an expert yet but not totally a novice, im sorta like in between novice and intermediate.

Anyway i'm an aspiring comic book artist and yes, like most of us we hate drawing perspective and buildings and such but to me SU has made that aspect fun (with half the work done by SU ) and as some of you might or might not know stuff gets blown up and destroyed in comics and in my demented perfectionist mind i want thing to be "right", accurate or whatever, anyway to the point, i want to know what would be the best way make realistic debris and overall destruction within SU. Is it as simple as say...using the pencil tool to draw out the chunks from a building and detele them? what about if i have a figure punching a car, how can i warp the frame of the car? see what im getting at? Any useful tips in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You might also want to try using the move with the autofold (alt) works good for deforming things.
