Digital Ice

I recently acquired Modo 801, which features a shatter plugin! In the process of trying it out, I made an ice block with a material from Foundry Assets, and while playing with the looks, I somehow made this happen. This is equivalent to a superhero getting powers due to a lab experiment gone wrong. I don't fully understand (yet) what's going on with this grid like overlay, but at my best guess the material used the mesh as some sort of guide for the shattered pieces' locations. Anyway, I thought it looked awesome so I rendered it out. It was at my laptop's retina resolution, but I decided to crop some negative space off so it's a bit smaller than that, but still should make for a great wallpaper :D.

Tools used:
Modo 801 for basically everything
- Ice material found here: http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/asset/materials/view.aspx?id=2661
Photoshop for the text and minor cropping
