HyperBole Engine Crash - Narrated Screencapture (Patreon)

Jet Engine asset available below if anyone wants!
Here we go again! Sorry to everyone who got a notification email about this post last night- I forgot that deleting the post would create Infinite Confusion. The techniques in this video are pretty darn basic (straightforward physics sim, shape keys, particle system), so I felt bad having a 40 minute video of me just tweaking physics and creating particle systems, but re-creating it more efficiently was proving to be a major time-suck, so... I s'pose as usual just take from it what you will :)
I think I'm going to work on this scene for the next week, and see how things go, kind of as a treat for myself. I want to try using the new "pressure" option in the cloth sim to create an instant-deploy-airbag type situation, and see what it looks like attached to a person with mocap data... curious to see how all the physics interplay.
If anyone wants to see a higher quality version of the initial crash test, youtube wasn't particularly kind to it. Am I using tooooo many particles? Only god can judge.
