Description
Hi Everyone, Today I offer you a personal challenge I took with "Lordi" a very talented artists on this site. Upon viewing his awesome "Twister" image I asked him if he would allow me to attempt to take his fantastic tornado he modeled with Bryce to an F5. For anyone unfamiliar with how tornados are rated...an F5 is the most destructive type of monster tornado that has ever touched down on our world. I thank Lordi for accepting to let me attempt to make his Twister into an F5.
I wanted to know what I was up against, so I did a little research on Google and the following is how the AI described an F5 twister tornado.
An F5 (or EF5) tornado is the highest, most destructive category on the Fujita scale, packing catastrophic wind speeds exceeding 261 mph. These rare "twisters" obliterate well-built homes, sweep entire foundations clean, debark trees, and can hurl vehicles and large objects through the air as deadly missiles.
Key Characteristics:
Wind Speeds: 261 - 318 mph (on the original Fujita scale) and 200+ mph (on the Enhanced Fujita scale).
Damage Level: Total destruction. Framed houses are completely leveled from their foundations, and steel-reinforced structures are severely damaged.
Physical Phenomenon: The sheer force of the vortex is known to strip bark completely off trees and pull up buried pipes and foundations
I look forward to browsing your galleries this weekend to admire your awesome art work...take car my friends! :)

Oh my God. THAT is an F5βand a spectacular one at that. It turned out to be an amazing video. Fantastic, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it :D
Thank you for taking a look to view the damage I did to your awesome image and I must mention that no people were harmed during the making of this animation as they were all safe in their underground shelters! As for the cows, well that's another story all by itself. lol :)
Super awesome animation but with a terrible disastrous ending.Amazing work as always πππββοΈ
Thanks for taking a look at the damage of this tornado Saby...I hope you are staying cool, as right now the biggest danger gripping our world is that massive heat wave that seems to hold this world hostage! :)
Those poor cows they never knew what hit them Very nice animation
Thanks for taking a look at this animation...I would like to believe that those cows caught in the tornado, touched down softly on some grassy field in another farm miles away, or at least that's the outcome I would want for them! lol :)
That was impressive. Thanks for sharing how you went about creating it.
Thank you for taking a look and I am glad you like the storyboard breakdown at the end. Some AI models have gotten really good at creating these type of storyboards based on whatever subject you are working with. It helps to move the story along on a good conclusive path from start to finish. :)
Impressive. Even terrifying
I thank you for taking a look and you are absolutely right my friend...nothing would be more terrifying than being caught in one of these tornados. Right now the world is experiencing heat waves, lets hope the weather does not have any more uncomfortable surprises in store for us in the months ahead.
..one more time a perfect animation
You are much too kind with animations my friend and I appreciate you taking a look at how I attempted to turn Lordi's tornado into an F5. I thank you for the continued support you have given my animations Krid. :)
total disaster! awesome fx.
Thank you for taking a look at my attempt of turning Lordi's awesome "Twister" image render into a category F5 tornado animation. Doing the effects in editing was the fun part as I placed all the sounds that I imagined would exist in a tornado. The alarm sound was my favorite and I hope to use that one again sometime in the future. :)
Holy snap! .... I had to cover my face for fear of getting hit by debris flying out of my monitor!
The strongest tornado I've seen was an F-zero ... lol ... it knocked over our garbage cans and temporarily bent over some trees.
I am going to have to send you a pair of safety 3D glasses for the next one Max...eye protection is essential in all of my animations involving flying debris or cows coming your way! LOL
As far as tornados go, you are one more than me in that department as I have never experienced such a phenomenon, but as far as earthquakes go, since I live in Southern California, San Diego to be exact...those I have felt a few times. Maybe in the near future I will do an earthquake animation perhaps that will knock down more than a few pictures hanging on the wall.
I thank you once again for you continued support towards my animations my friend! :)
And if I recall well, the cow in Twister was a joke for a famous cow which had been taken by several tornadoes, and was still alive after that.
I think it was the market day at the farm, for having so many vehicles ;) Well done job, and great to lordi for having done so in Bryce
Wow Caty, I never knew that about the cow in the original movie "Twister" as it is nice to hear that the cow made it out alive. I would like to think that my cows in Lordi's tornado were gently set down on some grassy field in some other farm miles away.
I like your take on the farmers market taking place on that farm, because you are right as to how else would they have so many vehicles flying in the air. Your scenario is the best explanation for that. I thank you for taking a look! :)
laughs Let's put it this way: when the people came out of their shelters, they could have a VERY big barbecue :D
Oh yes ... I was also going to mention the same subject, but forgot:
When this storm is over, the county residents will have enough cheap steak to eat for the next 3 months!
Impressive work!
I thank you for your visit my friend...I am glad you enjoyed the extreme power that Lordi's Twister had in my animation! :)
Holly cow ! (if I may say so !)...this is dramatic, terrifying but so well done ! A big, big , I mean BIG, bravo ! For now, I live in a place where these phenomena do not exist... not yet !
Let's hope you never have to experience this type of damage to your beautiful landscape in your part of the world Gaius! :)
Disaster alert and the storm that follows... there are certainly 100 places Iβd rather be than there.
Let me guess: This is the trailer for "Twister 3," right? βΊοΈπ
Hey Courtray, its nice of you to visit my humble animation attempt at turning Lordi's "Twister" into a category type F5 tornado. I know here in the USA its very popular in some parts to have tornado watcher caravans that have become popular with some thrill seekers.
The latest Hollywood movies about these monsters have done a great job at showing us the type of damage these F5's can cause. Lordy wanted to see cows and semi-trucks and I did my best to make sure those were shown in the animation, now as far as those cows flying around in the air, Lordi and Max here believe a big barbeque is coming and they may be right! lol :)
Amazing bro
Thank you for taking a look at the devastation that Lordi's twister did to the farm...now its time to go find out what happened to those cows that were taken aways by the tornado. :)
Whoosh...
Wow Johnny, this feels very different from many of the videos you've posted before. It is quite dramatic, and kinetic---the movement is almost ballet, only your subjects are every being and object of a farm being torn to their core by the beasts that are tornadoes. I've been close to 3 or 4 tornadoes (and have spotted a few more from a distance) in the midwest: I'm not a "watcher," I've just been in the vicinity, in the midwest. And the winds around the funnel can be overpowering, sometimes stretching from the funnel for the equivalent of several city blocks. And those winds go in all directions at once---they're a fury---and they can be enormous too. I don't know how much detail you programmed into this , but even if by intuition, you captured the power of surrounding winds as well as the funnel; both in a real cataclysm (which is what these storms are).
It's a short video, but you conveyed a lot of power. And you have this "fantasy" element, that "ballet" I spoke of: In an actual tornado, the flying debris has a more chaotic quality, sometimes so rapid you cant believe the storm could chew up whole homes that quickly. You caught that. But you also the almost impossible-to-accept primal 'beauty' of these storms, not only from the very striking lines of the swirling objects and animals, but from the stops and resumptions of the action...it feels like a real storm with the cinematic ballet of a storm. It's hard to speak of "beauty" with these monsters---I need to say this properly, bear with me---but, in the very midst of their devastations, you can't believe how beautiful it is: All while it's horrible, immensely destructive, and lives can be lost in seconds. But you must be honest and say that something at its core is just eye popping: While you hope and pray that all will be ok---and you feel immensely for the victims who see their property literally shredded in seconds---you suddenly feel this "awe" at what you're seeing, the immense awesome power of nature itself; it's biblical in proportion; and yes, there's a primal beauty in it. (As there is in a volcano, which is also enormously deadly.) And that dichotomy is at the heart of the devastating nature of such storms. It's a feeling that surfaces for a moment, a sudden flash, while you are horrified throughout. I'm saying all this because you captured that moment in the midst of the terrible destruction. I dont know if that's from experience (I assume you haven't witnissed a tornado in California), but your intuition was there. I just had to say it.
Also, you got the sense of "heavy clouds"---in huge midwestern storms (of any kind), the clouds will suddeny dip down like they're pregnant, and about to give birth: It's gagging: They bob up and down, like big sacks about to burst. (That's when you head for shelter.) And you may see several funnels pop up, that don't make it. Also, the colors can be what you have; or, at other times, they're a pea-green jaundiced hue that's just ugly and nauseating. And then, when you see how quickly the storms will uproot trees and cars and homes, it's just jaw-dropping: You want to scream "how can you be so cruel???" Because the destruction unfolds in seconds: It's so capricious! And if the funnel decides to turn left, it will spare whole blocks of homes---on a "whim"---while plunging into others, seconds later. Capriciousness pure and simple:Nature doing its thing without a moment of thought for who it destroys. "There but for the grace of god go I..."
So you captured the devastation alongside the strange, impossible-to-swallow ballet of these natural cataclysms. Its simply part of what we experience...A powerful video with awe thrown in. And btw,---when these things are over, the world can feel like the first day of paradise: The sun comes out, elverything drips clean pure raindrops, the earth smells divine, and you feel you've just been blessed---then you shake yourself wildly, to remember that this "blessed moment" is the result of a horrifying war on many people's lives, their animal's lives, and so much property. These are the deep contradictions of these storms. I felt horrible standing in that blessed fresh aftermath, knowing that it was brought on by a massive devouring beast. Anyway, beautiful work as always, Johnny. Horror and primal awe at once. I hope your time off continues, and that it's filled with love and blessing.
Wow Mark! I am speechless after reading this comment from you, as it is very descriptive of the action that took place in this short animation. I did the animation as a challenge to see if i could turn Lordi's "Twister" image into a category F5 tornado.
I made sure that no people were harmed, as they were safe in their underground shelters, yet the same can not be said for the cows or any of the vehicles on the premises.
I want to thank you so much for the awesome comments you have always left on my animations Mark...you are one of a kind talented artist (if only I had the skill and eloquent wisdom to write like you do, I might have been a writer in my life) and I am truly appreciative of the many comments you have left...I thank you my friend! :)
The peaceful scenery, the changing weather, and the power of hurricanes are all amazing.
I thank you for taking a look my friend...now that you mention Hurricanes, that may be an excellent idea for a future animation or perhaps an earthquake one since the news keep saying that California is due for one any day now. :)
Awesome animation with this ππ·π Love your gallery of fantastic animations !!
I thank you taking a look at both this animation and my gallery...you're welcome to visit back anytime my friend! :)
Mindblowing, top movie grade, world class FX appocalipse. Impressive realism, outstanding lighting, amazing directing.
I think weta would blush with hiccupsπππ€
LOL...you made me blush, just reading your comment Marius, you are much too kind with my videos my friend! I wholeheartedly thank you for the awesome support you have always showed my humble animations. :)
Man, what destructive power this tornado has. If the military could weaponize a tornado like this it would be a true game changer. Very impressive and awesome animation.
thank you for taking a look at the tornado animation I did by using one of Lordi's render and you are right about the weaponization of weather effects such an F5 tornado. I personally believe based on the experiments by weather scientist that changing the weather has all ready been reached by many governments around the world.
There are many "HARP" weather modification installations spread throughout the world for the purpose of weather modification. These installations have existed for many years now, but not much is talked about them now.
