How did they do this???

I've been trying to simulate this type of explosion and I'm at a complete loss. Does anyone know how this
FX artist pulled this off? Thanks for the help.

Looks like a load of active rigid bodies with a radial field put on them with partical emiters for each body..............dave

There are a few ways to pull this off...
you can use particle instancing and then have fluid emit from particles...
at least that's how i would do it

You can also use rigid bodies if you'd like and have particles emit from that and shade them with fluids...there are a couple of techniques you can do to get that result

From a readers' Q and A column in TV GUIDE: "If we get involved in a nuclear war, would the electromagnetic pulses from exploding bombs damage my videotapes?"

Use rigid bodies to simulate the pieces, then use each object as a particle emitter.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I've actually done that, I'll have to post what I was able to come up with. Didn't look as good as others i've seen.user added image

Thanks! I'll have to try it a coupld of different ways. It's just I'd rather do it the eastiest way possible. because it's for a student film and we are trying to render this bad boy out at a 300 resolution and as you probably know that just kills most computers!user added image
