Robert Hranitzky provides an overview for a project he created in which paper tears away realistically revealing a logo and walks through the process and techniques he used to achieve the paper tearing effect.

Have a sneak peek behind the scenes on how I have created the torn paper effect for the GenArts Reel Intro. The great combination of Cinema 4D and After Effects was used to achieve this effect

Robert originally created this effect for the GenArts Motion Showreel, and through a lot of inquires, created this walkthrough to show the process. If you are interested, Maxxon has also posted an article on the animation, where you can read more about the project and the process here.
