Just curious if Blender is cabable of this yet as a render and animation to look as real as it can.

^v^

Technically, it is possible. However, it would take a lot of effort and talent.

3

without any physics simulations it would take quite an artist

You could probably do frame-by-frame tweaking, using particle-effects for the spray and perhaps a lattice to deform the exploding can, but it would be exactly that… frame-by-frame tweaking. It would be a slow and expensive shot to produce.

Aw shucks. Can the particles even do this yet ? as like color change and dispurtion method ?

6

Yes

Just curious, what was it rendered (and made in) in? Or is a real photo?

They don’t even seem real to me.

That’s easy; if you look very carefully you can see the steel jacketed bullet under the foam to the left of the can!

This and the other pictures on the site was done using a very high speed camera and a carefully timed strobe light.
