I recently watched Tom Cruise’s new movie “Oblivion”, and saw a number of scenes depicting city destruction due to both natural and human causes. The film scene looks absolutely devastating – and the software techniques used to render those scenes are simply fantastic.

In this post, I will showcase 20 Epic Examples of Matt Painting Featuring City Destruction. I hope those artworks will provide inspiration to you if you’re working on a similar project that contains destruction scene.

Here goes the list, enjoy!
