This is a render of my first particle explosion with 3DS. Hope you all like it :D. 3D Studio Max 8 Render Time : 29 minutes, 04 seconds Sorry for the bad quality of the render, my server is being a little twitchy. Thank you. GBP ---

Well. I think Photoshop is really much better for these things, because on first look I wouldnt have thought it was an explosion. Mabye thats just me tho 😛 ---

Would be cool to put a render of something else in the middle fo the explosion so we can get the 3d effect ---

Yeah - well the contrast is kinda whacked because you can’t determine depth. That would be the reason why it looks flat ---

loooks to me more like smoke than an explosion. it can be done in photoshop as said before. but cool nonetheless… ---

I’ll fix this up. But do remember, this is made with pure particles in 3ds, so it’s not as easy as it looks. GBP ---

isn’t it just a bunch of parameters that you can change on the righthand side? ---

That’s 3d max? As much as I’d love to appreciate how hard that was to do, unfortunately art is only as good as it looks… Rather create something that is more simple to do but is a more effective result.
