... so I started to play with combustion and glow in 3dsmax.
This (http://www.scifi-3d.de/wcsaga/Tolwyn/wcs_wallpaper_arrow.jpg) is how it turned out.

Yeh could've spent the time on some better textures for that model instead :)
or some FREDding. :nod:

Lightspeed, I dunno if you ever played Wing Commander, but this maps were made strictly to the canon

I think it looks great, the blend of the explosion with the ship is very convincing. Did it take you long?

not really... it is using two gizmos plus lense flares... I was thinking about adding a few particle sprays too, but that looked like crap. I would say, that in an hour you can reproduce the scene... the only difficulty is to get thge explosion feel right ;)
The only problem with this explosion is that it can not be animated... well, it can, but only for a very close render as seen in the picture, due to the gizmo's shape (1 * sphere and 1 * box)

Nice explosion. I wouldn't have guessed it was just a box and sphere without you posting it. :nod:

Good to hear ;) IF you could plainly see this, then it would mean, that something went VERY wrong ;)

A bit over-blurred maybe, but seriously, dude, that is sweet!!! I especially love how that explosion mixes with the main ship! :D

hmm... I don't think so, since this ship can be really VERY fast ;) It is an interceptor afterall...
Perhaps I will add some battle damage to the hull ;)

Of course I did. Still, it looks kinda out-dated like this. You could probably keep the main features but make it look a lot 'newer' :)

and the community would flame me... and besides, as stated in the credits, it is not my model
