I love to make experimental art in 3D, so I was excited to see the new Mesh Shatter tool in Modo 801. Process: I fired the mesh shatter tool on separate parts of the mesh, and used the Glue settings to make larger pieces. I selected all of the pieces and set them to rigid body dynamics in the Setup tab. After designing the motion, I used the new iridescent shader for the figure and gold for the decoration. I love slow motion films shot with HD high-speed cinema cameras, so I set the animation to slow motion. With a little motion blur and Depth of Field, I was able to create a dynamic slow motion 3D animation.
