Realistic Blender Explosion Tutorial

Published by David Millet on May 15th, 2006 in 3D News

Boom! About two months ago we reported on a contest to create the most realistic explosion in Blender (Elysiun thread here). There were many fine entries, but this one by Rhysy2 was the clear winner. Great job to Rhysy and everyone else that participated!

Not content to sit on the knowledge himself, Rhysy has been kind enough to create a tutorial for everyone to download (.pdf). Don't forget to let us know what cool explosions you come up with using this technique. Now if Rhysy could just write a tutorial on how to pronounce his nickname.

Update: this tutorial is now also available in German.

YeS! I've been waiting for a tutorial from Rhysy for ages! This tutorial looks really good.

Hmmm… I seem to be having problems opening the second .blend file. I get the error: "Incomplete .blend file"

@Joel
The one I have (from the pdf link) works fine. What version of Blender are you running? Have you tried downloading it again?
7 Joel May 16th, 2006 at 6:15 pm

I'm running Blender 2.41. I'll try dowloading again now.
8 Joel May 16th, 2006 at 6:17 pm

I downloaded again, and it didn't work!

Well I am baffled. So here is me throwing ideas out there:

1) I downloaded it last week, so maybe the one on the site now is corrupted or cursed. I could send you the one I know definitely works and see if that solves the problem.

2) Are you using the x64 version of Blender 2.41?

Rhysy = Ree-See…:)

The download works for me, though I sometimes have problems. Try clearing your internet cache ? Also, be aware the .blend is rather unstable and may crash at random - unfortunately, I've no idea why this is.

What operating system do you use?

Hmmm, the pdf doesn't work.
13 Rhysy May 18th, 2006 at 7:01 pm

Tynach, I use Win. XP.
Cowman, it does work, but the website has a nasty habit of cutting off larger downloads. Trying clearing your internet cache, delete the file and try again. Or try this alternate link :
