Particle Effects

So in our class we need to create a particle effect that works with the level we are creating. I decided to make a glass breaking particle because everyone wants to break some glass. Here I found some references to glass breaking. If I have time I also will try to create a rain for the racing level.

Crate/TrashBag

So I decided to make a different kind of crate and that's to either make it a trash bag although I am having some trouble deciding how it will explode. I ended up modeling a cardboard box as well just in case to see what kind of input I could get from it.

Explosions

So I had to make an exploding barrels of some kind that will compliment my level. My level is basically a city that the player races around with building collapsing everywhere. It took me a while to think about what kind of barrel like object would I be able to put into this map design and I came up with Electric transformers while some are box I choose to make the transformers around a telephone pole. I had a white metal or a metallic texture for the barrels. However the ones that are dangerous will emit a small glow to them and have electric particle effects sparking electricity.
