This was a fun one! Now that I know how I'm blowing everything up! HAHA!
Had to use my own explosion, cause i don't have your plugins yet. But it worked like a charm! Thanks again for another oustanding tutorial!

Hi there.
I was wondering, could you could continue this tutorial and create a black hole distorting and sucking in the space and fractures of the planet.
Also thanks a-lot for your great tutorials.

nice seen your experience on the planet. I use imovie 08 software limited to your adobe after affects. However, it looks similar with layers of effects to make the video stand out.

This year i have started attending a technical school for digital media and design. Prior to these classes I never even heard of what after effects was. I can now produce commercials, intro's for music artists, news anchors, ect. and many visuals for my family to "ooohhh" and "ahhh" over. Thank you Andrew and the video copilot team for not only previewing but going into explicit detail that the non tech savvy ( like myself) surely need. That and it's all FREE! you guys are crazy, and i love it, keep up the good work.

Was just watching Superman/Batman Apocalypse on Netflix Instant Watch... If you go about 15-16 minutes in to where Supergirl flashes back to Krypton exploding...
The actual explosion portion is animated, but the chunks of the planet seem to use the exact shatter effect and look just like they used the tutorial.
Check it out!

Hey Andrew, Please let me apologise on behalf of all these other people watching your tutorials for FREE who say negative things...
Like, you should have done this, or, I can't find this file etc
Your doing a great job and it is really appreciated.
To all others watching this tutorial... why don't appreciate what you are getting from a great tutor, do the decent thing and buy some products like I did...
...Maybe Sam ate the squirrels...
You won't be sorry

I love this tutorial and all of yours. It has helped me understand the capabilities of After Effects. I cant believe anyone would complaining about any of this. Its free and if you dont like something about it, customize it to your liking. Who cares what the gravity is set to.
Marius
16 years ago
You know Andrew, with your normal super ability of adding detail, this tutorial is a tad disappointing.
The gravity should've been 0 even though you wanted it to be 1 for the sake of the tutorial. Also, how you did it now it just seems the planet has an outer shell but no core. I mean, all planets have something on the inside too right? Also the bits are too large. Remember, this is a big planet, after all. It to our eyes the bits would be big, but in space it would be tiny chunks of earth.
I think those latter 2 could've been solved by duplicating the layer, and then doing one with smaller puts a frame or five offsetted from the original to create both large ans small bits. And duplicating once more, and then offsetting it alot to make it be "inside" of the outer bits we had created and then make the extrusions larger.
That way it would seem it has a core too and that it explodes in both small and big chunks like a planet would do! That's just how I feel it though.

Everything seems to work fine until i apply the Shatter effect and set it to "rendered" and AE comes crashing down. I've tried on 3 computers- one of which is effectively the most powerful machine apple makes (so i know it's not a performance issue.) Anyone else having this issue, or am i just cursed?

Hey Andrew, it's Nick from Italy... These are my first 2 days on After Effect, and since I've found your website, and your tutorials, I grew up so much with it! You made such a good job...
However let's come to the point... I've tried to do this blowing up effect... and well I tried to ad a "shaking" just around the explosion frames... (not more than 5/6 frames)... I've taken inspiration by the earthquake tutorial... It looks like the planet before "pump" up the energy, than shakes and blows out so powerfully... (sorry for any English mistake)...
Great job man!! Keep on doin'em...
Cheers, Nick

Hi Andrew,

Great tutorial, but I've got a question. How do you get the falling debris of the exploded planet outside the planet-object? I am doing a similair tutorial from someone else, but the debris of the exploded window (in my case) is falling into nowhere, it disappears outside when falling outside the window.
Excuse me for my bad english, I'm not a native English speaker.

What an awesome service you offer Andrew. When I first happened upon your site, I thought, "cool, I'll look at some of these tutorials but I don't need any of the products". But then I proceded to watch nearly every one of your tutorials (haven't gotten much sleep!). Now, having experienced the exceptional quality of your work (on the tutorials), I will purchase/try some of your products - because if they measure up to the quality level of your tutorials, it will indeed be money well spent!
ONE REQUEST: The visual/run quality of your tuts is also superb. Could you please share with us (or, hey, make a tutorial) the basics of how you make these; what you use to capture screen, edit, output format and settings, how you host, etc.).

ONE REQUEST: The visual/run quality of your tuts is also superb. Could you please share with us (or, hey, make a tutorial) the basics of how you make these; what you use to capture screen, edit, output format and settings, how you host, etc.).
Thanks again,

Great job Andrew! I am actually working on my own film where I need a planetary explosion, and this tutorial was great!
I was wondering, would you ever consider doing this same tutorial using 3DS MAX? It would be great to see how similar or different the final results would be.
thanks again!

First of all, I LOVE your tutorials. They are the best on the web. I just started using AE and your tutorials were VERY helpful.
Just wanted to add something to this effect (requires Trapcode Shine though).
Apply this effect to the prerendered planet and set Transfer Mode to overlay (in effect settings), colorize to Fire and Base on Alpha. This really gives the explosion more strength. Also, you have to play around with the Shine Opacity and Boost Light settings (so the Shining will fade in and out (when explosion finishes)).
I hope I can come up with new ideas in the future, but for now I'll use your tutorials to get around in AE.

also to the people who are having trouble with a slow pre-render and want to buy a new pc.
videocard and ram are the most important things.
anyway looking forward to upcomming tutorials,
happy hollidays.

Its a really cool tutorial but what would make it even better is using the same trapcode particular effect you used on the blood tutorial but with a rock created in a 3D program then you could animate some of the debris heading towards the camera with a wiggle effect for impact. I can't do this as I can't afford any of the 3D programs. But if some one out there could provide a 1 sec rock video like the blood cell then maybe we could all have a go at it with trapcode free trial download.

Loved the tutorial, but I'm probably missing something. I took a green screen person and applied the shatter filter and the person simply disappears from the screen and nothing short of turning the shatter filter off will make them reappear. It looks pretty simple in the tute. What am I doing wrong??? I figured I could explode a person just like the planet.

This was another great tutorial. The thing I enjoy most about your tutorials is the potential to create completely different things using some of the basic techniques that you outline. I probably am going to make the shatter particles less blocky; maybe that way it would look a little more realistic. This is still a great effect though, keep it up!

Speaking of squirrels, have you seen these vicious, man-eating "twirls?" Ravenous tigers have been mating with common squirrels to create small, but deadly carnivores that strike from the treetops.

The reason that the cc sphere plugin renders a green X is because you have the trial version of Cycore Effects (cc). Cycore (cc) comes on the After Effects 7.0 DVD. Cycore can be bought for $299.00 (two hundred ninety-nine U.S. dollars)

Can someone please help me?
I have a problem wiht the CC Sphere Plug in. Everytime I use it, it creates a green "X". At first I thought it was just there to guide, but when I render it is still in the rendered footage. I use after effect 6.5 pro. Can soemoen please tell me how to get rid of the "X"!?>-(

Stay away from laptop's unless you are getting a Mac, with that budget you could create your own PC that would trump the HP.
Search TigerDirect for PC parts...

I counted a few more exploded planet pieces than you did...

FOR "KRAMER _WANNA_BE:
Any laptop will work as long as it has sufficient system recourses. Here is a spec list that of components that After Effects needs to run efficiently:
2GB RAM
128 (256 recommended) video card
2.2 Ghz (or higher(or higher, I recommend 2.6+)
Intel or AMD processor
120 GB Hard drive
DVD burner
These are all recommendations for running After Effects smoothly.

Fantastic stuff again andrew! I can really use this one thanks! Ive already played with the settings and so forth and pretty happy with how realistic it looks. watched it on the big TV a few times and im missing something. Is it possible to have control over the shatter preset so one piece of debris flies towards the camera and blacks out the whole screen, sort of thing seen in independence day? Would be a great help if you could advise, thanks again!

Another awesome tutorial, I can't wait to get home and give it a try. One question though; there was a wiggle in there and I am assuming you pre-composed the entire comp, parented the comp to the null and then applied the wiggle to the null layer? Either I am super smart or just showing how clueless I really am. Thanks again

you could make also the Magma blow away...
i was thinking of something in the lines of TrapCode Particular, but I leave my idea with you

@Tyler,
To get a full screen preview, hold your mouse over the window you want to enlarge (in your case, the preview window) and press the tilde key. You just press it again to go back to normal.
And in case you're not sure what key that is, it's the one that's next to the "1" on your keyboard. It looks like a squiggly line.
