This thread is following the thread "future project" I started on califorum. I started later with a summary of what has already been done. Then continue the adventure. In the meantime, here is a test video for a 3d explosion. In the rest of the story Skytown will be destroyed. I am currently seeking different ways to represent this.
The idea for this test is to see the centibots who use each pieces of the building to do others machines. Before the explosion, there will be a blue light affecting the building from the energy of the terminal. It will be as if the city had a disease that changes its appearance.

WOW, marcel that looks amazing.

Just two things. I don't like that there is a cut just before the explosion. I found it better without a cut. And the sound is to "slight" and to metallic in my ears. It could be a deeper, stronger explosion sound because, hey, it's a really big explosion. (ok, is just a test - i know)

Is this the explosion a post effect or created in TS with a particle engine?

Anyway, cool stuff and espacially the MotionBlur comes really cool and give the needed motion flow.

Thank. Yes it is just a test.
It is only 2 differents scenes together. In the final scene there will the centibot and the blue light before the explosion. I show this scene before the explosion just to see the building. I know the sound is not good too. The post process is made with particule illusion as most of the effects in the 2 first part of BOT. Motion blur will be very important for this part of BOT. The real action of the movie begin here.

anyone have a link for free sound with explosion? Thank
I search a special sound, not real sound from explosif but a kind of "strange energy" . I Remember the "laser" of the tripod in world war movie. I can produce my own sound with several free sound. Actually i don't found that i want in my library.

I have a few links here but it is very difficult and needs a lot of time to find sounds.

http://www.findsounds.com/
http://www.flashkit.com/soundfx/

I self have a library of nearly 3.500 SFX Files but the most of the time i create my own unique effects because in the most cases the effects are not what i need. But espacially for explosions, lasers etc. i have a few good one's. Ask me if you want to try these.

thank for the links. i will see that. That is right it is difficult to find exactly what we need. most of the time i create my sound too. It would be nice if i could try some of yours sound.the nearest sound that i want is when people are disintegrated in the movie (world war with tom cruise). It is different than explosif. Look like energy.

Indeed, your ability is astounding.

Do you know how far you plan to take this?

@Finis: "That is a huge amount of ambition."
Yes. But an ambition just for fun.
In fact, I know I can not afford to do what I want but the main thing is to have some fun pushing its limits. If I does not reach my goal, I will not be disappointed.
Here is the new test with the blue light:
Thank DesignDevil for the sound. i had combined two of them. Maybe that need more echo.
