Effects Animation - Hope

Inspired by 2012, Inception, Wall-e and Toy Story 3, movies with a massive poly count scenes I tried to create something similar. At the same time piece should have a meaning or message. Basically, scene shows a moment of massive destruction after couple of years when a new hope is born. Scene has around 419 million polygons in total including micro displaced geometry. I used combination of Maya, Max and Houdini to model, texture, shatter, scatter and render. Render shows only part with a tree and that`s only 20% of a whole scene.
