How I made this plane crash in Blender

[@-.-sleep-.-]

The Dynamic vegetation was really genius

@@crizioclips Yup, will definietly use that one

[@repulsed4182]

the instant drop into the video without an intro really got me interested immediately for some reason

[@Gibbits5.7]

as a pilot the way this cessa crashes is so funny to me it looks like a mini rc plane crash just a more weight and heft and it would look much more real

[@IstyManame]

I was pretty skeptical clicking on this video but honestly, you did an amazing work and it turned out to be way beyond my expectations, keep it up!

[@chanruzzi]

Dude, thank you for taking the time to make such an in-depth making of and breakdown of this awesome scene and sharing with us! Very inspiring :)

[@AlbinThorburn]

Awesome man! Thanks for the support

I just found you and I love how you go straight to the video

[@nikikxz9494]

better then some movie productions i‘ve seen

[@NicolasSeijas]

Im really happy watching how young people like you can take huge advantage of CGI and VFX software nowadays. 15 years ago we throw some Video Copilot assets over some low res video and that was it, VFX. Not to mention rendering animated assets in 3D programs was just a dream. Great job.

[@AlbinThorburn]

There have definitely been some changes in what is possible to do for free these last years. Also really cool to see consumer GPUs that can render this stuff :)

[@SimonPodolak]

hoooly. you took blender really far! in 2011 I made the pixar lamp jump and thought I'm a genius. love all the detailed thoughts and little big tricks

[@pankaj_blend]

Loved the secondary animations and environment interactions. That alone makes it pretty realistic.

[@jamesonvparker]

My Goodness this is a master at work.

[@ak_fx]

Dude your channel is pure gold

[@AlbinThorburn]

Thank you man that means the world!

[@reconnaissance7372]

Breathtaking. I've only recently started animating with Blender but this content is so motivating.

[@obalfaqih]

Amazing breakdown and the final results are just so great, the camera movement is so good and made the shot more grounded and realistic. Great job and thanks for sharing!

[@cg_pilot]

This channel deserves more subscribers

[@harx1241]

Wow, you're really talented.

[@alexhoffmanndsn]

the result are amazing brow

[@LordPrisma]

this is incredible litterally looks like a scene out of a movie

[@zoey101dogwablog]

What an amazing video. A+. Amazing job at getting it straight to the point, Amazing job at keeping the viewers focus, Amazing all around. Loved to hear your thought process through things. Thanks for the great video.

[@holgerschulz4104]

Massive work! Congratulations!

[@currenluna]

The dynamic vegetation is really clever. Nice work!

[@tired9398]

The fabric simulation added to the structure of the aircraft definitely sold the effect way more and made up for the physics inconsistencies. If I look at this from a "game cutscene" POV (which are often quite inaccurate tbf) and not a "crash simulation" POV it looks amazing!

[@RangoJalex]

I love this style of tutorial. Quick and to the point but still detailed.

[@verne11709]

Bro this is movie level stuff. AMAZING!

[@renzesparza6281]

Great work. The dynamic paint on the ground is a very cool detail. Also i think the wing hitting the tree and breaking on the ground works fine. The tree weakened it and the ground rocked it off the frame

[@Grafs47]

GG WP. Thats the only thing I can say Saludos desde España, gonna keep an eye on you!

[@justabasichuman5057]

[@grumpymrpug9282]

This is amazing! Really good job 👏

[@johannklesie]

Absolutely incredible breakdown from start to finish! I love your approach to these kind of projects really hope to see more of you in the future :) I just startet blender a month ago and it really inspires me to see creatives like you going nuts :D

[@ichabhunga]

It looks fantastic! If I saw this without context I would have said that it was done in Houdini and not Blender, but you made it work so nicely!

[@DesignerNetanel]

Simply mind bending 😮😮

[@piotrnod6489]

Awesome work dude. Amazing. Sub.

[@Povilaz]

Very interesting!

[@hypoman1]

The angle of the plane isn’t bad at all! If the plane is in a ‘stall’ it can lean backwards like this! Great work and very inspiring!!

[@natec1]

Yeah but that's a really fast stall for that AOA. Good render tho

[@hayse4961]

Incredible! Thank you for making this tutorial!

[@momentum_animation_studio]

You have so many great details and creative solutions in this animation. Thank you for sharing your process!

Thank you :D

[@Taz_Olson]

Great work, love your rbd techniques that compentsate for one of(in my opinion) Blender's biggest weaknesses at this point

[@Cau_stix]

i LOVE your vids they help me so much with my 3d editing I am currently working on a movie with my friend and your plane/plane crash tutorials are really helpful love your work!

[@jousee259]

The final animation looks super nice!!

[@zxch9197]

im not a very experienced blender user but I enjoyed this video a lot and I am better understanding what you were doing throughout the video. sick man

[@asaistudios]

What a incredible tutorial and final result. If I had to nitpick maybe an upscale of the video to 1440p or 4k would be handy as youtube can't seem to afford enough bitrate for the final scene at 1080p. I think there are scripts for ffmpeg that can do a basic bicubic upscaling without needing to re-render your final edit giving you access to vp9 on yt. Other than that, great work!

[@arashtehrani7726]

ok..this is one of the best tut and breakdown (incredible) that i've ever seen. +sub +all notif :) tnks for sharing. good job and GL. waiting for new video ;)

[@commedoor]

Underrated video

[@FishcatZombie]

This is amazing work! Really!

[@morplagro1545]

This is great, one of the best and most realistic complex destruction I have ever seen done in blender, the way the plane is falling doesn't bother me at all, and I doubt it bothers most people. My only complaint is the camera movement. I think it should have cut to another angle 4/6ths of the way through the animation. The camera continuing for that long gives a video game-esk feel after that point, I think cutting it to a low-to-the-ground tripod shot and letting the plane come to the halt, not too far from the camera would give it a much more realistic grounded feel. Or maybe a still overhead shot of the plane coming into frame and then halting, you could also hide a lot of the minor issues that way. Currently, It switches from a drone to a crane to handheld shot, and you can't do that Irl. Also YES PLEASE for 5:15!!! Are you kidding?! that's absolutely genius, I have been looking for a way to create plant collisions like that for the longest time, never have I found a video mentioning anything like that. I'd pay for a video on that

[@BrainiacManiac142]

This is amazing! Such an underrated channel!

[@caljucotcas]

looks nice!

[@jamber985]

7:50 The plane itself looks very detailed and cool.

[@smileycuber6801]

i love how you're just casually talking about how you made a plane crash scene thats better than most feature films

Incredible video! Also that front wheel is strong lol

[@WaterShowsProd]

No wonder the plane crashed, there was no pilot! Really interesting methods. I liked this.

[@TheBlenderProfessor]

Please for the love of god an everything good make a full step by step tutorial on this. I’d pay good money for it. This is by far the best destruction sequence I’ve seen.

[@BecineStudio]

Freaking amazing!

[@timgarrett203]

Looks really good. Suggestion: it would help if you respected how aircraft structure really deforms and fails. Show how the strongest parts survive such as the landing gear and the struts. Sheet metal (aluminum) crinkles and tears in larger pieces not little particles. Plastic windshields often pop out of the frame in one piece. Horizontal tails sometimes get ripped off in one piece. Control cables try to hold the wings on but rip through the sheet metal skins. Control surfaces often get ripped off their hinges. Again, without detailed subassembly modeling, your sim looks good!

[@r3dd.graphics]

Dude thats amazing! Are you planning on making a patreon with full tutorials?

[@adrielledimailig6826]

Bro, I don't know man.. but I'm learning in your videos! It's so great, Keep it up!!!

[@supersimme813]

Jävlar! Det ser riktigt sjukt ut mannen. Kung e du

[@AlbinThorburn]

Eyyyy tack så mycket mannen! Det är jävligt få svenska tittare på kanalen så blir alltid glad när jag ser en svensk kommentar :D

[@e63samg27]

Great job, visually stunning. Aircraft wouldn't behave like that but awesome none the less.

[@davidaugustofc2574]

Bro just dropped a AAA game cutscene like it was nothing. The physics do feel off but the animation is amazing, I suggest taking a look into supersonic airplane models because since both supercritical and supersonic airfoils have much worse efficiency at subsonic speeds, they could stall and fall much faster. They could even desintegrate while still in the air.

[@AlbinThorburn]

Dude, thank you!

[@Storyx1]

This is so realistic ! 👏 very impressive

[@spydergs07]

Such a good video and an overview on how you made this.

[@AlbinThorburn]

[@SilverEye91]

Now for the follow-up: How I made a plane that crashed Blender.

[@AussieBall_Animations]

I love how it didn’t explode immediately. It made it so much more realistic

[@otal0721]

In real life it would have exploded tho

[@mansouryahya3824]

its like a real life nice job

[@IvinNayaYoesel]

Ge this is DOPE!

[@oledesign]

I disagree with the wing only breaking off at the ground and not at the first impact on the tree. I think it works really well like you did it!

[@horriblypink]

I would absolutely love a more in depth video. I started Blender last September because I wanted to create animated films for Mecha Scifi like Battletech. This would really break the mystery of okay how do I make this robot smash through a bunch of buildings and break stuff. Not really having a clue of how to go about it but this video is some thing that I will be using in every project. You can't have giant robots with out every thing violently smashing to pieces. I expect my PC to melt to but I still got to learn it, can always but the better PC later.

[@RazzBurryPremium]

A more in-depth video on the dynamic vegetation would be awesome!

[@zachbuyspower]

I absolutely love this animation, and i would love to learn how to make things like that. I have to nit-pick ONLY ONE THING though. The propeller was completely undamaged. because the aircraft went into a head-on collision with a tree, and the propeller wasn't even bent. This is alright though, because i know you spent a lot of time on this and i don't want to ruin your day.

[@Tykeandy]

Great video! Love the final result! Little tip: white balance your camera.. it looks like you have 2 video lights but one is set to tungsten and the one behind you is set to daylight. That's fine but make sure your camera is white balanced so you don't look like an oompa loompa lol

[@purplepumkiin4851]

For the tree system click advanced at the top, then under a new tab called rotation set the rotation to object y

[@desparias732]

its rly cool too watch

[@faradaysinfinity]

absolutely incredible

[@SaltySailor512]

wow, amazing intro

[@SanOcelotl]

Keep up the good work

[@DreaminXD14]

Look I’m sure that plane is supposed to have a 2.5 degree rotation on its Q axis when it’s nose diving at -240 ft above sea level 🤓 You don’t have to be a professional pilot to make a damn good plane render. Great job on the project!!

[@Handleneeds3ormorecharacters04]

Bro is a wizard 🧙‍♂ 👍 👍

[@degibocu]

awsome project i need lean those techniques. do you have patreon?

[@keyztroke]

Very nice. Also, I was thinking you make some videos where you “fix” your other projects. Yes, your projects are VERY detailed and good, but as you say, or at least I think you’d any,

[@matthewyerger621]

Amazing work. I thought I was pretty good at blender. Subscribed…

[@ChrisTempel]

You need a Paetreon where we can help support you and then download this project file in exchange :) I'm shooting a movie this summer that has a small plane crash in it, but I was going to just keep the crash offscreen. I'd love to use this as a base for it and be able to show the crash

[@polar_baer]

As an AvGeek, you got the entire crash *almost* perfect! The only part left out was that fuel is stored in the wings of an aircraft like the one that crashed in your animation, which would result in a large fireball upon both wings being ripped apart.
