How did you make the window parts so that they fit together?

It's very simple. Here is an example to model Figure 3.
1 - duplicate A and the cylinder. subtract the cylinder to A. Intersect A and the cylinder.
2 - duplicate A and B. create an other cylinder (or what you want). Duplicate the cylinder (you need 4 cylinder this time). Repeat the step 1 between A and the new cylinder and between B and the new cylinder.
3 - The result: the 4 parts fit togheter. You can repeat this until you have all the parts you need. Remember to duplicate the objects you use before do the bolean operation.
It seem complex but it is very simple with a little practice.
everything I do is always very simple. :)

To destroy the windows by starting at the center I use two sphere. The first do the impact. I also put a wall behind the window to prevent debris from returning into the building.

The big sphere continue the movment to create the illusion the glass inflates before break. Some pieces of glass in the corners of the window are not affected by the sphere

thank v3rd3.
To hold the pieces of glass near the edges of the window, the glass is sandwiched between two frames with a small space so they can move slightly but not separate from the frame.
soon, animation accentuate the effect with motion blur. Then I'd do a few micro debris and a flash with post process. The sound will be fun to do.

i don't think so. :mrgreen:

My next effect for the animation will make the water that flows between objects. Yes, we can do this with TrueSpace modelside! ;)

The animation of broken glass with sound. the little fragments are created by post process. I think to do several scenes like this and each scene will be faster than the previous.

I have really enjoyed following this thread and seeing your amazing tornado in action, something that has been on my own To Do list ever since seeing Twister starring Bill Paxman and Helen Hunt. So this has ben a fantastic inspiration for me. Are there any updates for this great thread?
