vincent and LostBoyz like this!

Recenty I've made a beautiful glass eps object and I'm playing around with it.
I tried to make cracks in the glass with the V11_Cracks1.cfx effect.

That doesn't work: the glass disapears (becomes a black object) because it needs the ReflectionmapAdditive.cfx effect. How can I solve this? Is it possible to have two effects or an combination.

Have you tried using the TRANSPARENCY property?

Michiel transparancy creates not the crack movement from the center to the edges.

I looked at Bixpack 8 and I learned that there was a V11_Mask.cfx effect.
After a hour fooling around I think this comes close.

The transparant picture is used to create the crack

Looks great! However don't forget the message of your video: breaking glass does not express hope. Most people associate it with bad luck. For a title called "cycle for hope" I would use a more happy effect.

Agree with michiel, your crack effect is super!

Michiel, Vincent thnx. Its not for the "Cylce for hope". It was an idea that popped up with the glass box. I don't know if I use it for an show.
