Animation of an exploding oil barrel
Description:
This was a school project where we had to make an exploding barrel.
I started with modeling the barrel in Maya, then I exported the barrel to the Unreal Engine, where I made a level that contained a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt was programmed to deliver the barrel to the player, who would then use one of three buttons in the user interface to either detonate the barrel, compress it, or reset the barrel.

Project Type:
School Assignment
Project Duration:
4 months
Software Used:
- Autodesk Maya
- Unreal Engine
First, I created the model of the oil barrel in Autodesk Maya…
then I textured it in Unreal Engine.
After that, I programmed and animated a scene where a conveyor belt would deliver the barrel so the player could detonate it. The result is the video you see at the top of this page.
