Still behind this week. I blame it on having my last two final exams ever tomorrow. After Thursday, I'm expecting some dramatic accomplishments on this project. Some work that was done this week...
I've started working on importing the tornado into my footage and plotting it's path. I thought that I could motion sketch the path, but when I converted the patch from 2d to 3d, it went a little crazy (y and z values were all over the place, only the x value was actually relevant to my sketch) and was unusable. Which means I have to painstakingly plot each point of the tornado's path, but i have experimented with the motion tracking of the emitters, and it looks pretty cool.
Also been working on the destruction of the barn. This will take several layers. One layer will be the actual barn, which has a mask that wipes over it (to erase the barn as it is destroyed). The other layers will use the exploder from Particle Playground to take the image of the barn and shatter it up into the tornado. Looks like a good start so far. The next step is to get shapes (splintered board and such) for the particles to form to, so the barn doesn't look like it is just braking apart into perfect little squares.
Video to be added to this post soon to illustrate what I'm talking about, but again, not till after Thursday.
