Bullet effect

[robs3d]

Hi all,
Ok heres the plot these 2 dudes have a face off one shoots one dude and I want it to show the bullet hitting him and making some sort of mark or hole or texture effect of some sort how would you go about doing this? Because I have no clue at all,is there a tutorial on the internetfor something like this?
thanks,

I would do 2 textures: one is the hole, and the other one is the blood stain.
The hole's tranparency is animeted on few frames. In fact, it becomes visible as soon as the bullet hits the body.
The blood stain can be more gradual, but not that much (like 10 frames).

For more effects, I would go with particules behind the body (where the bullet normally comes out).
Otherwise I don't see how you could do something more to achieve realism.

create a hole patch and hide it. this patch will create a rough hole where the bullet goes through. Create a cone type shape out a of a nurbs surface revolution. it must be open at the top and bottom. On this you put a blood spatter image on it and this will be scaled outwards and the big end will get wider as you drop the opacity of it.. this will simulate blood coming out at the impact. Depending on how much gore you want you can add a few chunks that are animated on a set of paths the radiate away from the exit wound and remain on the path as the body falls.. much easier than worrying about a few particles for a few seconds of animation.. renders a lot faster too..

hope thats enough.. if you have him land and blood pours out you can create a grid with a pool of blood on it give it a dense specular cut out the outside with an alpha and give it a bump map so it looks like it has a bit of volume, then scale it out from under him. This will look like th pool is growing..

cheers

i will make a little particle system that simulate the bleading blood.
