How can I make something disintegrate?

[harbrimar]

I am trying to make an object disappear into itself. For example, an image of a house in which the house appears to collapse into itself leaving the landscape without the house. I presume that I will have to start with ‘house in landscape’ image then cut the house out of the image and save it as a ‘house’, use content aware fill to fill up the space where the house was and save that as ‘landscape’. Then with Pic2Exe open ‘landscape’ and using Objects & Animation overlay the ‘house’ image and make it zoom into nothing. Clearly, the house will disappear but ideally I would like the house to collapse into a pile of rubble or pixels as this would be more realistic. Is there an easier way of doing this or do you have any suggestions as to how it can be done? Your help will be much appreciated!!

Hi Abrimar

This is a very crude example of what can be done by cutting the image into pieces. Of course to achieve a better result, the pieces should be small and individually adjust the rate of fall and rotations.

We should add noise and dust, as in the implosions we see on television.

Thank you for responding. I really like that effect. Could you please enlighten me as to how you did it?
