Realistic building destruction effects in blender

A lot of people have commented on how this looks very similar to recent events in Ukraine, and I felt I had to address this. First and foremost I want to apologize to those who found this video upsetting in any way. Apparently this video has been recommended to some of you amongs videos of real footage from Ukraine. This wasn’t on purpose at all, and frankly I find this fact quite distasteful myself. This channel is for teaching visual effects to independent filmmakers, not to glamorize real conflict or the destruction of real homes. To those of you who have had to leave your homes because of the war in your country, I am so sorry and I hope that you will be able to move back soon and rebuild what the russian military has destroyed. Glory to Ukraine. Timestamps: 00:00 - intro 00:33 - building the apartment 04:36 - fracturing 08:13 - adding physics 09:58 - simulating 10:43 - adding particles 13:25 - outro
