Lynda - VFX Techniques: Creating Explosions with 3D Layers
Visual effects (VFX) can add destruction to a scene without causing real-world damage.

Author Lee Lanier shows you how to convert video footage into 3D layers, adapt stock footage effects, add and improve Maya particle and rigid body renders, and integrate static artwork to inflict realistic damage to an old-world castle.
