So I'm just going to type in 3.0, and I'm also going to hide the mask and shape path visibility, just so we can get a sense of how it looks. So the first thing that we need to make sure to set before we'll begin the simulation is when it's going to start, in my case, at three seconds. And as we can see, nothing really happens on-screen, and this is because the last settings of this effect, which are Start Time. For now, let's just hit the Spacebar and see what happened. But I'll show you a workaround for that in a moment. It is very easy to use and has one major flaw, which is that it doesn't support motion blur. Now, the CC Pixel Polly effect is a simple simulation effect that breaks a layer into polygons in a very realistic way and create the flying pieces that look like they are moving in 3D space. So I'm going to apply the CC Pixel Polly effect, which you can find under the Simulation category, so I'm going to scroll down, and here, this is the effect, I'm going to double-click in order to apply it after the Keylight effect. Now, the reason that I've split this layer to another version, which I've named the Ball Number Two, actually After Effects did it for me, so because I want to start the first explosion when this player kicks the ball over here. I've also removed the ball from this video and duplicated another copy, and then used exactly the opposite, meaning that here, I'm only exposing what's visible inside the mask that I've created. I'm just going to solo, since he was shot against a blue background, it was quite easy to create this separation. So, this guy was separated using the Keylight effect. For now, I'm just going to concentrate on the kicker, as well as two instances of the ball. I'm going to turn the visibility off for a moment. So obviously, we have the logos and the title.

And I just want to run you through some of the preparation I've already made. So, I'm going to switch comps to this one, which holds the same elements, although nothing is exploding yet. So let's see how to create these explosions from scratch. Here, I'm using only two effects that control all of the destruction, the CC Pixel Polly and the good old Shatter effect. And we can see that, indeed, almost everything on-screen gets its own synthetic explosion and shattering effect. And in this video, I'll try to answer one for the most popular requests from client, can you please destroy, explode, or shatter the text/logo/title? So, as a form of example, I've created this short teaser for the Champions League Finals. Hey, everyone, Eran Stern here with another After Effects Weekly Tip.
