This is a personal project using Houdini's procedural tools to help fracture and simulate this angel from stanford university. Please critique this.

Not much to criticize.

Breaks apart very organically and with complete control. Shading is good. Dust and debris sell the effect. Textbook disintegration. Very well done.

i really like it, personally think chunk size perhaps should have more randomness? as it seems a lil fake to me as a collapse; but the overall look is superb!!!

Technically, it´s nice.

From a shot perspective there´s a mistake on the selection of one of the shots. Namely the cut from second 8 to 9. The little change in perspective does not excuse for a complete cut to another camera. If you add a close shot between the two in a different angle it will work much better.

Rendering-wise, in the background there is a distracting soft flicker that might be coming from distance haze.
Lighting is ok, but not that dramatic.
