After some replies to my desperation on making an explosion, I had revelations, brainstorm,
whatever you want to call it, and began looking at things in a different way.
Then after some careful thought, I put together an emitter arrangement of lights and smoke
that turned out really well. ( I think) I have only done a few , but am so excited to build a ____load
of these explosions all across the known universe....... LOL
I still have a few in my head that I may never be able to do. But I am happy with these and the ones
I am about to make. Also, taking more time, with looking at the scene, constantly asking how to improve it.
I also actually, really, seriously, began to look at actual video clips of NuBSG, and I ended actually,
similarly, recreated a few looks.
I will Continue to add updates to this thread.
Hope you like, Regards,
Randal R.

I have completely
changed the look and the scene mostly. Also, I have redone all weapons.
(Viper stills needs re-done)
This in my opinion is the best stuff to date. Though it is not perfect.
Although I spend a great deal of time on it, checking, rechecking, test rendering, things always seem to show up and often you do not see them until after many views.
I have tried a few things in trying to create a fiery flash. From an image/texture
on a poly to a cone with material ( ostensibly to light up as the light of weapon
passes) to just using lights.
Next up in line is the Viper/Raider clash, then Raider strafes of Atlantia.
Also been thinking of trying to bring in two more base ships to finish off
Atlantia after the raiders feast on her.
