I have recently completed this short CGI for fun. I was just trying to make a falling meteor for a bigger project, So this is just an experimental clip that you see. It requires more improvements and then I will make something bigger.
This is the trick to grow and learn. You have to learn by yourself doing experiments, playing with different values till you get the desired one. I completed this all inside of Cinema 4D and I can give you the project files.
I also have raw clips for this. Here is the link.
This is for the original render- 
This is for the alpha clip- 
This took me a longer time. It took me about whole day to get the right values and to create something like this. But now I know how to make something better than this. And I will make the whole meteor falling and destruction render soon.
So, that's all and have a good day.
Thanks for giving your time.
