Realistic Blender Explosion Tutorial
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.Â
hi,

Cool! Danke für die Arbeit!
Thanks for the work!
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”
Cool! Now to see how he did it, then add motion blur, DoF, etc.
@Joel
The one I have (from the pdf link) works fine. What version of Blender are you running? Have you tried downloading it again?
I’m running Blender 2.41. I’ll try dowloading again now.
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.
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 :

I can get the pdf. does anyone know were i can get it, or could the Please send it to me. alabandit (place at sign here) gmail.com
@Alabandit
Do you mean you can’t get the pdf? I just tried and it worked fine. I’ll send it to you though.
thanks etr9j
I tryied down loading it a number of times and kept getting corupted files – the one you sent me works great
cool i blew my parents up and it looked simmilar plus my face smells like a whorse gusset
exactly what i was looking for.
Is there a new tutorial on this for blender 2.46?
Not yet. I’ll write one soon.
