As part of the team, Tencent collaborated with the Mill team to create a promotional film for the release of the new triple-A game Earth Revival.
My tasks was mainly focused on the ship. We received the ship model from Tencent, but it was only optimized for game engines, so I had to retopologize the ship and create UVs for texturing.
For the destroyed parts of the ship and debris, I took a segment of the bridge and crushed it in Houdini. I created three different degrees of crushed modules and scattered them in the scene in Maya.
The broken body of the ship was done in a similar way in Houdini; I fractured it and then procedurally spread them out. The further a piece is from the ship, the wider the gap between the next piece. I added a ramp to control the gap and added animation to the debris to make them look like they are actively spreading out.
