I'm fairly surprised there's not an FX section anywhere around here.. that would be cool me thinks..

Maybe sub divide it:

- CG FX
- Makeup FX
- Miniatures
etc..

anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has info, or links where there is info about how to make breakaway glass.

I seem to recall a few years back reading something about making it with some kind of sugar mixture, but I haven't found that again. I'm just trying to build up my library of sources and how-to stuff.

Here's some links related to breakaway glass I've found interesting so far:

SMASH! Plastic "Breakaway Glass" from Smooth On (http://www.smooth-on.com/PDF/smashplastic.pdf)
Prefab breakaway glass, sheets & Glasswear (http://www.performancesolutions.net/break.html)

Oh! I found a sugar glass recipe (http://www.bonus.com/contour/beakman/http@@/www.bonus.com/beakman/news/021300/recipe.html)! (It's kind of 'kid oriented.. but hey, might work..')

Production, and Post Production, or the general Script to Screen forum.

I dont know about you mate but its a darn good idea however I do on set FX so smoke lighting wind and so on, work lots with props masters and stunts.

That's cool.. any kind of FX is interesting to me. It's what I wanted to do, before I decided I should direct. ;)

Good Idea :yes:

eh, not enough of us know enough about it, i dont think it needs a whole separate forum.

Hmmmm dont know about that

There could be endless forums, sound, music, editing, special effects, whatever... but all of these will fit into either Production, or Post Production.

Chris I was at your site and took a look at some of the trailers there.

Hats off to ya mate

Thanks :yes:

There is a forum just for that at SFXartists (http://www.sfxartists.com/)

New forum added:

CGI (sub-forum of Post Production)
