Creating a Ballistic Hit in CINEMA 4D and TurbulenceFD
By Andy Lefton
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to create a ballistic hit within CINEMA 4D using TurbulenceFD to help with our fire/smoke simulation. Software required: Cinema 4D 15, TurbulenceFD and After Effects.

Description
In this TurbulenceFD tutorial, we'll learn how to create a ballistic hit within CINEMA 4D using TurbulenceFD to help with our fire/smoke simulation.
- In preparation to use TurbulenceFD, we'll go through the many steps of setting up our ship to animate as it's being ''hit" by a ballistics object.
- We'll then utilize TurbulenceFD to help us react to this ''hit'' with fire and smoke.
- Using CINEMA 4D's rigid body dynamics, we'll implement debris being struck and falling away.
- By using TurbulenceFD's emitter tags, we can then combine CINEMA 4D's dynamics with TurbulenceFD's simulation to give the effect of an explosion from a damaged engine.
