I think is a great approach but here comes some issues with displaying at once all these modifiers (I'm already aware of display options in modifiers, but...). My results is not so equal to your screenshots, I think this isn't bad (blender is not an exact science, fortunatelly) but perhaps your tutorial is too straightforward in some steps, so it don't covers completely the whole work that you come to show us. Great anyway! Raimon Hi,

I love the rocket, smoke has even more realistic dynamics and color/ Light simulation than in the bomb video. Very Convincing! WOW!

Landscape layout pages! Nice Tut,

I like that rocket blast off video. I think this technique is very useful for lots of things. I can imagine a fire breathing dragon using this same process. Wow! I like that rocket blast off video.

Maybe i will write a tutorial. Here is the link to this pre-preview-test-video^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOeIi883xoA @Bart I have tryied to do that with the particle system...but the result didn't satisfy me...actually, I don't really know how to use that particle system and how to get good renders with the halos...

I have not finished it but have learned a lot already. I really like the effect, but learning the techniques is what I like the most. Thank you for posting this is English also. I know it is not your first language, but your tutorial is clear to me. I hope none of us will ever see a real atomic blast. Thank you Fabien for the great tutorial.

Also, the shock wave wasn't big enough. I'm going to give a try at it to see if a can't just make it look better. Funny, I live right by oak ridge and I've never made the atomic bomb in blender before. Good but it would be brighter stay glowing longer. Also, the shock wave wasn't big enough.
