How to animate a character being torn apart?

taurobinsonfarrar93

So I was watching Deadpool 2 and there was this part where a character was being torn apart. I figured out that they created a 3D model of this character, but what I can't figure out is how the animators tore apart a fully rigged 3D model and had blood and guts fly out of him. Can anyone help me figure out how the animators did this? I want to do something like this for my thesis film.

they change the model... and use a lot of vector dispmaps...

Thanks for the help! That article was really useful. I just wish I could see it being done.

such complex stuff is in most cases done on the fly... idea... first try... feeback... next try... feedback... next... fail... next idea... feedback... next try... refine... and so on...
