Approach With Caution
🕑 Added 2023-01-01 20:00:03 +0000 UTC*My first attempts with explosion simulation for the destroyed wall and using those pieces to create the mounds of rubble with particle simulation. Lots of volumterics for the dust to give it a real sense of atmosphere as well as using emissions to turn the lights on in the windows. I'm so happy with the atmosphere of this one!*
The night air was thick with dust. Fine particles of brick, cement, and concrete hung in the air like a fog making the light of the high beams and sirens thick and solid. Officer Higgins slowly stepped forwards, trying to protect his mouth from the dust while holding his pistol ahead of him with shaking hands. A ring of officers formed around the cause of the incident: the prone body of a woman. She lay face down in the street, half in, half out of a building. This in itself would have been serious enough, but she had crashed through a wall. In fact she had crashed through a wall into the street because she had grown through it. She had outgrown the building and her body had smashed through the wall. The officers were all in silent disbelief as they stepped forwards, their radios buzzed and crackled with messages and their shoes crunched on the rubble and debris that had been thrown outwards as her body had demolished the wall. There were still some lights on in the building and more were popping on in the apartments around as residents tried to look out at the disturbance. The building would have to be evacuated. The whole thing was liable to come down at any moment. Especially if the moved. He shuddered. If she moved. She was still breathing. He could see her back rise and fall. Her breathing was shallow and she seemed out cold; her enormous hands reaching out onto cracked asphalt were lit in a harsh and eerie light by his patrol car. As he approached the huge mass of her head he felt surrounded by those arms, with those hands that could snatch him up in an instant. Despite looking like a woman with a slight frame she was a hulking monster of flesh and bone to the humans standing in front of her, guns levelled at her. As officer Dale Higgins began to get lost in his own thoughts, a gentle but terrifyingly amplified groan snapped him back to the present. A shout to his left. A twitch of a finger the size of a man. She was waking up.
