Houses Under Storm – Metal Roof Deformation is a high-quality animated asset pack depicting realistic storm damage on residential buildings with metal roofing. The animation focuses on progressive wind-induced deformation, showing how metal sheets bend, ripple, lift, and partially tear away under extreme weather conditions.

The pack includes four distinct house structures, each presenting a different damage pattern and severity level. Roof elements dynamically deform over time, revealing underlying wooden trusses and structural framing. This makes the asset suitable for disaster simulations, cinematic VFX shots, environmental storytelling, architectural visualization, and real-time applications requiring believable storm damage.

Design, Form

The houses are designed with simple, realistic residential proportions and clean architectural forms. Roof geometry is segmented to allow natural-looking deformation, overlapping sheets, and irregular movement caused by wind forces. Damage progression is visually readable and staged, making it suitable for looping, sequencing, or cutting into larger scenes.

Style

Semi-realistic to realistic

Cinematic-friendly proportions

Neutral styling to fit multiple environments

Designed for VFX, games, previs, and simulation visuals

Materials & Surfaces

Metal Roof:

Thin sheet metal appearanceSubtle surface waviness and bendingPhysically plausible deformation behavior

Structure:

Exposed wooden beams and trussesSimple plaster/concrete wall surfacesMaterials are PBR-ready and neutral, allowing easy re-shading or integration into existing pipelines.

Colors

Light gray / silver metal roofingOff-white / beige wallsNatural wood tones for exposed structuresSubtle dirt and wear for realismColors are intentionally restrained to maximize adaptability across lighting setups and rendering styles.

Use Cases

• Storm and disaster simulations
• Cinematic environment shots
• Architectural damage visualization
• Game environments and cutscenes
