Arrow Impact, Animated Glass Fracture

This one originated from a fun project, where several people from the 3dmax.de community began to rival for a possible job assignment of creating an "arrow penentrating a glass plane" for a commercial. The task of animating a glass fracture in MAX without plugins such as "Blast Code" for Maya seemed interesting and fun enough for artists like Till Nowak to try it, as well. Check out his demo reel for his cool solution of "the problem".

This has been my contribution to the "unofficial contest" (right click on screenshot -> "Save Target As..." for download):
