Making the ground smash

[davie563]

Hi, im working on a small aniamtion and i want a tree to fall over and hit the ground, as it does i want the ground to indent slightly and lots of bumps and cracks appear, i was just wondering how i would do this, wouls i use displacments or somthing else, like bones. if anybody knows any good tuts id really appreciate the link, cheers

For the preliminary indentions I would say try dynamics then for the cracks and other effects use morph targets. Render out in elements then composite for final result.
