Shattering Image FX: Grunge and Metal

An animated chainsaw destroys the metallic text. The title's texture was made in Substance Sampler and applied as a tri-planar projection. The chainsaw was modeled using the plugin Modeler for Houdini, textured in Substance Painter, and then rigged and animated with KineFX in Houdini. Rendered with Karma XPU and post-processed using compositing operators in Houdini.
The sound effects are made of four consistently appearing samples: recoil pull cord, chainsaw in idle state, motorcycle engine, and cutting chainsaw. The last sample in the list was cloned to separately create a grinding metal sound using the Corpus tool in Ableton Live. For the chainsaw chewing-cutting effect, we chopped five soda cans into squares and recorded how they fell on a metallic thermos cup. To thicken the sounds, some of them were gradually lowered in Pitch. Samples are also processed through EQ Eight to avoid unnecessary or obstructive sounds and animated using Envelop for Live to move sound around. Flying "cooling fan of the chainsaw" at the end to fill the silence was recorded using a guitar and processed with LFO.
