Hey Paul, i am really a fan of your work. Would like to ask you how, and with what setting you renderd these images? I trained vray myself but i got stuck at some point and my imaes do not seem to get better. also, how do you teach yourself? any good advises, tutorials or books on vray? anyway good luck with your future work, would love to see you as the 3d-art director in a feature film one day :)

thanks very much 'arch hany' i am using various techniques to achieve the above images... 1- using within max the reactor system with wind and using the mesh bomb deformer, 2- using deconstructor (plugin) to split the mesh in a more natural way 3- using particle arrays within max which replace the geometry with chunks of itself (if that makes sense) if you really want to get into it then there is another plugin called rayfire which is amazing at more realistic breaking effects... my study was more abstract so i didnt bother with that but give it a try.... email me on info@pauldnicholls.com if you have any other questions... :)

iam looking for a program of tool for 3ds max where i can destruct objects for animations just like to did in this image if u know any tutorial or helpful source i can begin with i will be very thankful

Really Amazing
